first outing of an old tucker

[Pontoon Princess]

turns out, the black tucker was sold new to alan darr of darr's ski shop of government camp oregon, he also owned multipor ski area at government camp, ore. they used the tucker to tow skiers from the ski shop to the ski area, my very good tucker friend scott, remembers being towed by this tucker when he was a mere child. when we pick up this tucker, he had a feeling about this one, ( sometimes, he thinks he is todd from gold rush,when we are out mining for tuckers ha ha ha ) he is now looking though family photos for pictures. great local history right in our back yard. more of the story to follow as we find pictures.

Wow, you have some pictures that have probably never been published before. Those are fantastic. The cat in the center must be within 1 or 2 off the floor (not assembly line yet?) from another I've seen pictures of. Wish I could see the front of the 420 Mr. Tucker Sr. (?) is in front of. Wonder what the front of that one looks like since it doesn't seem to be the traditional nose cone. Then again, it may just be the picture. It would also appear to be one of the first clad in Tucker 'Omaha Orange'.

hey check out ski area management face book page, our tuckers made the cover shot for cutters camp that was at timberline ski area last week, we had a great time with the extreme groomers

 

[Pontoon Princess]

Nice, You are the vintage photo archive master!!
Is that the same Tucker that drug Scott around when he was a youngster?

 

[sno-drifter]

Yup.

 

[Pontoon Princess]

found some pin up photos of the '49 Tucker.

 

[sno-drifter]

I will go for the pin up line, but it is not from the 40's or 50's, They did not have tattoos on their legs then!

Warren she is a hotty I may just have to get a tucker. now that we know where she is on the hot axis where does she stand on the crazy axis. See allen they have real chicks not cardboard cut outs.

 

[AdkSnowcat]

She's an angel...has been ever since she was half a dozen pounds. Not crazy. Just wholesome. Nuts about Tuckers though!

[AdkSnowcat]

Those pin-up photos are great!!!! They are really fun!


I hope there will be more with those other Tuckers you have! I guess they are warm weather shots! Those outfits might not be so warm up there at Timberline Lodge!

 

[sno-drifter]

No worries mate, Timberline has a hot tub and a sauna.
