I fell in love with the car and the spirit of Preston Tucker when I saw the movie and have admired him for years. I am so impressed that friends of his would honor him by bringing back a car that is a true show stopper. I comend you on your family values and for building a car that fought the good fight but lost the war. |

I love great design where ever it is found. Buildings, clothes, cars, planes, etc. Cars are often a study in compromise, marketing, manufacturing costs, corporate decisions, that is why even with cars I like I always want to improve them. Your eVolvo is as close to a mind meld with me as I have ever seen. I will send my mental redesigns to you exclusively from here on out. gabh an latha, Richard Dietzel Eugene, OR

Good looking website,Rob. I particularly liked the Tucker and the plans for the "Carioca". Tom Rennie of Opis, Inc., just called me this morning about the History Channel production. Regards. Dave Cammack |

Thanks for keeping the Tucker alive. If something in my life changes I'll have you build one for me. I've been the biggest fan of the Tucker Torpedo ever since I saw my first one. Thanks again.

The '71 p1800 is bad as can be! That is my dream car. I only wish I had to money to take it off your hands. You guys get a lot of respect for going all out and for making cars come back to life!!

Hi Rob. Pretty cool site! It looks like you have some great projects going. Like everyone else, I gotta say the Lower 48 Tucker is BAD! We met you and your dad in Englishtown, NJ at the end of this year's Power Tour. We had the 55 Chevy 3-dr. We decided to finish the car and leave it a 3-dr with a few more custom touches. Had too much fun with it to change it! Keep up the good work! Chuck Poole ~Classic Metal Works~ |

Man! all I can say is WoW! i was born in 58' have always loved old cars, and fell in love with the Tucker when I first saw a photo of one back in junior high. You guys have done a great job in keeping the spirit of this car alive. Keep up the good work, Man do I wish I could own one!

Love the Tucker '48, I love that you guys are bringing custom Tuckers into this car deprived society of ours. I personally think that Preston Tucker would have loved your designs and hired you on the spot....look out Alex Tremulis! The new Tucker is coming!!!!!!

I was fortunate to see the "Lower 48" at the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour!
It is, to use an over-used term, AWSOME!!!
If I'm in the area, may I stop by and take another look? I live in northern NJ, and visit South Jersey every now and then.
Thanks so much for your creativity, hard work, and technical excellence! It is greatly appreciated by someone who has been a Tucker FREAK since I first learned about this amazing car in 1969.
Best wishes for your continued success!!!

Hey Bob, Rob & Mike,
I'm glad I found you guy's. It's encouraging to know there are professionals out there who take personal pride in their craft and workmanship and are willing to help restore and modify the ol' muscle cars. I hope you'll put a picture of my GTX in your photo album when you finish it. Thanks for the great ideas and expert work.

Wow! That's the best looking 1800 I've ever seen. I have an 1800ES (wagon) since you have experience with this breed of car are you willing to create a similar look on a wagon? Let me know.

REALLY nice Volvo and especially the fact that your design is
respectful and true to the original Pelle Peterson/Frua design -
I am impressed - especially being the owner of 4 of these Volvo
1800/P1800 vehicles... |

I just saw news article where BMW might acquire Volvo. FYI I sent them an email and said "bring back the Volvo 1800 coupe" and see your Evolvo of how nicely the design updates. Good luck if they contact you

My Grandmother and Grandfather owned #13. My Grandfather had passed away before the car had came back from the movie "Tucker a Man and His dream" I had seen it after the movie and it had been damaged carelessly. My Grandpa would have rather been where he was. My Grandma had a settlement without going to Cal. and revived the car fully with the help of Jeff Smith. Before my Grandma passed, she placed the Tucker at the museum in PA. I'll never forget the memories in the passenger seat of that Tucker Torpedo..

Franklin Eugene Wheeler Was my father, therefore Wes' Grandfather. My father as family oral tradition tells designed the original Cadillac fin while working for the Body By Fisher division of Chevrolet. He also worked for The Tucker automobile from its inception until his untimely death. Because I observed both the Tucker and the Cadillac on your website I am impelled to send this e-mail. At some time soon I hope to see your "Lower 48" Tucker. As a young boy I watched the Tucker parade in Chicago but for the life of me I cannot recall its date or find it in my limited history research. Hope to hear from you. Thanks for helping to keep the Tucker automobile alive.
Respectfully Errol
