Tucker cars, only about 40 made, why would one be in a used car lot?

Classifieds, all sorts of amazing finds; Duesenburgs, '35 and '39 Bugatti type 57-c, Tucker, Lincoln

Amazing what I found in the classifieds

Above, Dean Moons car

A Tucker

E Rickmans car ( he was Hot Rod magazine staff photographer for years )

A boat tailed Auburn that once belonged to Cary Grant

A Barris custom that was a Car Craft feature

Hot Rod magazine cover car

Crower Cams owner's Hudson, which I think is the above photo

Stutz Bearcat Roadster, still legendary 90 years after it was built

Bill Stroppe's winning race car, (if you don't know who he is: http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2008/10/01/hmn_feature16.html )

I didn't waste my time showing you all the ads selling cars that were freatured in Hot Rod, most as cover cars and show winners... there were so many.

Classifieds in old magazines turn up incredible cars, Phil Hill's Ferrari, Tucker #8, and Old Yaller III, 1 of 16 XK-SS, Shelby GT 350, Fangio C type

You do realize what a treasure you'd have, if you'd bought Mickey's Bonneville record setting car ... or if your parents had and you inherited it!

1953 Gran Prix winner, driven by Fangio you aren't going to top that easily

Briggs Cunningham 1962 Le Mans

1959 Pebble Beach 1st in Class Chrysler Ghia

The above and below were both sold by the same guy
