So I called and got an appointment to see the car next week, but they’re not sure if they’ll let me take pictures, this could complicate things. ---

I was at his winery on Labor Day and he had ‘a’ Tucker (maybe not the one you’re talking about) in the ancestral home. On the second floor! I don’t know how they got it in there, either. The window isn’t big enough, there are only small doors in the walls of the room, and the stairs split into two and make sharp turns. No part of the building shows any signs of having been recently dis- and re-assembled. Maybe they took the Tucker apart and put it together in situ. ---

Boy is my face red! I posted so fast that I was talking about the wrong guys car. In case you can’t guess the movie director guy with the winery is named Francis something. Sheesh, I even previewed. ---

Francis Ford Coppola, who made the movie **Tucker: The Man And His Dream**. Which was about Tucker. And Tuckers. ---

Ah, but he’ll just be a distraction while we release the Tucker from its carbonite block.
