Tucker Road Trip, Day 3

On our next stop on the Tucker Road Trip, we'll be visiting Tucker No. 1004, but make sure that your passport is in order first.  We'll be visiting one of five Tuckers known to be on foreign soil, and the only one on public display at this time!

Tucker No. 1004
The Toyota Automobile Museum in Aichi prefecture, Nagakutecho, Japan proudly displays No. 1004 along side vintage Toyotas, as well as other examples of American and European automotive ingenuity.  Oddly, Tucker No. 1004 does not appear on the museum's list of possessions on its website, but eyewitness reconnaisance in Spring 2010 confirms that the car is there.

The museum is near Nagoya, between Osaka and Tokyo on the main Japanese island of Honshu.  Check the Toyota Automobile Museum website for more information.
