Million Dollar Cyclops



On August 2-3, 2008 RM Auctions showed this 1948 Tucker Sedan (Serial No. 1038), which had only 3,038 miles on the odometer when I saw it. Only 51 Tuckers were ever built and this is probably the finest surviving example.

After the show it was shipped to Sports & Classics of Monterey, California to be sold at auction. Lot #449 (estimated price $500,000 - $600,000) sold on Saturday, August 16 for $1,017,500.

Fin Fans, rejoice!

The first Sunday in August is always special. It's the day of the annual Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance in Rochester Hills, Michigan. This year's theme celebrated the Centennial of Genral Motors, and GM land yacht fans like me were not disappointed!

Now showing in the Classic Automobiles gallery at the web site, the biggest, highest, longest, most outrageously flamboyant fin ever built, the 1959 Cadillac. FINTASTIC !!



Careful, Ralphie, you'll put your eye out!
