Tucker Talk- The Tin Goose Tucker Prototype
Sunday, June 16
Program: 10:00 – 11:00 AM, followed by questions & answers
Presenters: Mark Lieberman & John Tucker, Jr
In June of 1947, Preston Tucker introduced the world to the Tucker automobile by unveiling the prototype, The Tin Goose. The Tin Goose holds a special place in the history of Tucker Automobiles as the very first Tucker that was hand-built as the prototype. The Tin Goose was also innovative in its design, technology and safety features that were not available in other American automobiles at that time. Tucker produced 50 production automobiles, along with the Tin Goose Prototype, of which 47 still exist today.
Join us for a fabulous program on Father’s Day as we learn more about Preston Tucker, the father of the Tucker Automobile and his very first Tucker Automobile – The Tin Goose Prototype. Thank you to the Swigart Museum in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania for loaning us the Tin Goose for this unique program.
Advance registration is required for this program and seating is limited.
