I looked at this car with a buddy of mine who was interested in buying it back when it was still in a 2 car garage in Wisconsin - maybe 18-20 years ago. I recall it being a bit of a surreal experience when he pulled the cover off the car in front of us. Thee owner at that time was well-known in the Tucker collector circles as he had owned/restored several of them. I don't recall all the details any more but remember it being tagged as body 57. Most of the drivetrain he had came from maybe Tucker 33 that was rolled in a high speed run and later crushed. He had some very good documentation but nothing that I recall definitely tying the body to an actual Tucker prototype. I visited the Tucker museum (by appointment only) in Virginia several years later and spoke with the owner of the museum. He was aware of the convertible rumors and this body but hadn't found proof of it being modified by Tucker. He had recovered all of Tucker's original engineering drawings (some 25,000 of them as I recall). He was in the process of reviewing/categorizing all of them for the Smithsonian Museum and was on the lookout for any convertible part drawings. When I spoke with him, he had not found any yet. I don't know if David Cammack still operates that museum, but if he does, it is a must see for any automotive enthusiast.
