I haven't been to the AACA exhibit, but back when the Cammack collection was still private, he would conduct tours. Our OCA chapter had a tour in April 2010. The photos are posted on the Capitol City Rockets website.

The collection is just AMAZING. I don't know if AACA can display all of it. Cammack had the prototype #2 chassis, THREE production automobiles, an example of just about every single prototype engine and trans that Tucker produced, boxes of NOS spare parts, and a room full of factory documentation that was yet to be cataloged. Here's a shot of the lineup of prototype and experimental engines and transmissions.

If I were closer, I'd love to see the exhibit. They used to have 1 at the San Antonio Museum (now closed), awesome car.

I drove a Tucker back in 02-03 my ex father inlaw had an extensive collection of cars and the inventory rotated quite frequently . If I recall it was build by Boyd codington . Anyways it's a candy red kinda burgundy color had 20" steelies codington wheels sat low as **** to the ground , ol Scotty (ex father inlaw) said only thing orig to that car was the steering wheel which was beautiful .... Anyhow talk about a car that can draw a crowd man! Anyone know of or seen that car lately? She was a beauty I tell ya.
