Merry Christmas, 1947, (?) from the Tucker Corporation

This Tucker Corporation Christmas greeting card is probably from December 1947 as it illustrates the basic design of the Tucker '48, but it has non-production trim.

Preston Thomas Tucker (September 21, 1903 – December 26, 1956) was an American automobile entrepreneur.

He died on the day after Christmas in 1956.

1. Was a great movie

2. My dad was 13 years old at the time. He and his buddies had a joke they told on this topic. Typical 13-year-old humor.

Of course, in addition to the Tucker, a couple of other makes on the automotive market at that time were the Kaiser and the Fraser.

The joke involved a trio of top business executives out for a round of golf, who were discussing what they were getting their secretaries for Christmas.

"I'm going to buy my secretary a Kaiser, and surprise her!", declared the first exec.

"I'm going to buy my secretary a Fraser, and amaze her!", boasted the second.

The third exec just sort of chuckled to himself, because he was buying his secretary a Tucker.

3. I only seen one Tucker in my life and it was at the Auburn, Cord, Duesenburg Museum

in Auburn, Indiana. If you are ever in Northeast Indiana this is a must see automobile museum. Not only do they have some of the most beautiful American cars ever made on display, they also have very rare automobiles. I was lucky that one time someone loaned their Tucker and I was able to see it. Last time I was there they had every model of Crosley on display, that was really cool. The museum is in the old Auburn factory. Here is a link to this unusual automobile museum.
