What it's like to ride in a 1948 Tucker through Manhattan traffic: "I feel like he's driving this car more aggressively than I drive my own car in the city." Tucker #1051 on Saturday, October 24, from dawn in SoHo to the Midtown towers. Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist. Links in the first comment.

In 1948, Preston Tucker built a car the world had never seen. We're part of his family, and we just launched tuckercorporation.com to tell his story: every chapter of his life, every Tucker ever built and where each one is now, our films, and pages from the factory records. What should we add next? Link in the first comment.

The 1948 Tucker was decades ahead of its time, and fewer than 50 are left. This is Tucker #1023, one that didn't survive.

It was finished at the Tucker plant in Chicago on September 15, 1948, in Royal Maroon, one of only two Tuckers built without interior door buttons. After the company's bankruptcy auction in October 1950 it changed hands, and from 1966 to 1974 it sat in a shed in Ocala, Florida. In 1974 it went to Orange Park, Florida, to be worked on, and in 1975 it was moved into a warehouse in DeLand, Florida.

In the late 1970s, the warehouse burned. What was left of #1023 was crushed. A few parts were saved.

These photos are from our family's archive: the car in black and white, the color pictures from 1974, and the last ones, after the fire. This one was lost.

Not every Tucker survived. Tucker #1023 was finished in Chicago on September 15, 1948. It was sold at the company's bankruptcy auction in 1950, sat in a shed in Florida for years, and in 1975 was moved into a warehouse in DeLand, Florida. In the late 1970s, the warehouse burned. Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist. This one was lost.

Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist. This one still drives. Tucker #1051 in Tribeca on Saturday afternoon, with the downtown towers behind it and then around the Western Union Building. Would you drive one in New York? Links in the first comment.

Why does this 1948 Tucker have three headlights? The center one turns with the steering wheel. Up close with Tucker #1051 on the streets of Manhattan on Saturday: a 7 am walk-around in SoHo, the engine idling (it's in the back), and a pass on the cobbles at dawn. Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist.

"Hey, can I take a picture?" We heard it all day. A stranger at the Western Union building in Tribeca asked, then leaned on the fender and posed. Under the Staple Street skybridge it was "You mind if we take a picture with it?" The NYPD came over at Washington Square for a look at the engine, and in the West Village a bride and groom stopped for photos. Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist. On Saturday this one, Tucker #1051, spent the day in Manhattan with co-owner Rob Ida. Links in the first comment.

You said we were insane to drive a car this rare through Manhattan. Fair. Bugatti built 500 Chirons. Fewer than 50 Tuckers exist. On Saturday we and co-owner Rob Ida drove Tucker #1051 through the city anyway: the Washington Square Arch, a Tribeca crosswalk with yellow cabs on both sides and a stop in the West Village, after a morning at Cars & Coffee x Retromobile NYC on Greene St in SoHo. This car sat hidden in a New Jersey garage for years. It was due for a day out. Links in the first comment.

This Tucker was hidden in a New Jersey garage for nearly 15 years. Now it's in Manhattan traffic. (link in the comments)
