This Tucker is being stored where we are working on the Bang Bus, evidently the nicest example in the world and valued at $2.85 million :mindblown:

Avanti was an old Studabaker model and when they went belly up Avanti continued on their own for several years making this one car, well into the 70's or maybe even early 80's?
