Ever since there was a recent post here on the forum about Tucker automobiles, I've been thinking about bringing a Tucker dealership back to Patsburg. There was a Tucker dealership in Patsburg up until about a year ago when urban renewal replaced it with two small apartment buildings built by MTH Construction Company who btw used all Chinese laborers and journeymen.
I searched for my stored 1:43 scale Tuckers and found 6 of 8. I removed the base of the MTH dealership and fixed a yellow Tucker on the floor of the showroom with Sinbad glue then added a salesman talking to a potential buyer ... both standing in the showroom in front of the Tucker. On the roof of the dealership I have a red Tucker still fixed to its black model stand ( slightly angled to the front side of the dealership ) which reads '1948 Tucker Torpedo'
Outside in the new car lot there are 4 Tuckers, 2 blue one red and one green, at least thats the way I see them because I'm color blind
I've placed Patsburgians ( little folks who populate Patsburg ) outside the dealership ... some looking through the picture window to view the yellow showroom Tucker ... others milling around the car lot inspecting these fine automobiles. Preston Tucker's dream lives on in Patsburg!!!!
His cars are way cool!!!!
Next step is to make some of those triangular pennants that are seen in car lots dangling from a guide wire. Then to connect the building to my bus wire so the interior lights up.
Then to add a lighting in the new car lot. I'll get pics up on the Forum when completed. Stand by!
Patrick,
Your Tucker dealership really sounds neat!
Thanks Mark! It was fun to create the dealership. Turns out I have 13 Tuckers for the dealership.
