That's a "blast from the past"...


I grew up not far away from Ascutney and learned to ski there. We had season's passes there for years. Small mountain with a family feel to it.


Many very happy memories!

Friend has a dairy farm in Claremont NH on the Connecticut river. Looks at the back of MT Ascutney on other side .Tried to ski there once back in the early 90's. Free passes we had were blacked out day we drove up. Left angry and went to Stratton for the day.

Now in hindsight could have see a Tucker !

What he should have said"Thanks for all the very cool old photos Dave, haven't seen those since I took them with my Brownee"

Are you incinerating that I am old and burnt out?

Maybe one of the top hinge, 'boat tail' 443's?

Looks like 423 to me. Thanks for all the posting.

Forget the tapered back 443, check out the truck. Wood 4X4's and 2X6's for the hauling platform. This is early stuff.

Dodge truck ,hauling a Dodge truck in disguise !!!!!

This photo is from a ski center in Hillsdale, New York. This tucker was having a bad day!!!!

 

[MNoutdoors RIP]

Someone yelled roll over and play dead to the dog and the Tucker responded

 

[Pontoon Princess]

and one more brand new 1950 tapered body 443, sold to the NW Bell Phone co.
interesting feature, it has cast steel/iron fifth wheels, instead aluminum fifth wheels, which Tucker started using a couple years later
