Tucker No. 1050
at Dick's Classic Garage |
Your faithful blogger traveled from Los Angeles, CA to Austin, TX on
Amtrak's Texas Eagle this past weekend. I spent a day-and-a-half in a cozy "roommette" watching the spectacular Southwestern U.S. drift by my window. Arriving on Sunday morning, I promptly rented a car and drove to
Dick's Classic Garage in nearby San Marcos, TX, home of
Tucker No. 1050.
No. 1050 is a beautiful maroon example of the
Tucker '48, with less than 1 mile on the odometer. Also featured in the collection are a thoughtfully curated selection of classic American cars and trucks manufactured between 1929 and 1959. The founder of
Dick's Classic Garage,
Dick Burdick, also operates the
Central Texas Museum of Automotive History in Rosanky, TX, about an hour's drive northeast of San Marcos, TX.
CTMAH houses a much larger and more diverse collection of American and European vehicles, as well as a vast collection of automotive memorabilia.

Hays County Courthouse
in San Marcos, TX |
San Marcos, TX--located about 40 minutes south of the state capital in Austin, TX--is the home of
Texas State University. The town features a charming county courthouse square surrounded by local shops, restaurants and businesses. This includes the
LBJ Museum of San Marcos, which focuses on the early political education and career of our 36th President,
Lyndon Baines Johnson, while he was attending what is now
Texas State University.
