Tucker No. 1037 at the
Francis Ford Coppola Winery |
Regular readers of this blog may recall that when I visited
Francis Ford Coppola's Rubicon Estate Winery in Northern California's Napa Valley in February 2011, I expected to see (but didn't)
Tucker No. 1037 (although I was
very pleased to see Coppola's
Tucker No. 1014 instead). Shortly after my visit, I discovered that
No. 1037 had been moved to Coppola's
other winery in nearby
Sonoma County. Since I was in that neck of the woods this past weekend, I stopped by to see
No. 1037, which was feautured prominently in Coppola's
Tucker: The Man and His Dream as a "stand-in" for the
"Tin Goose" Tucker '48 prototype.
Tucker No. 1037 is the centerpiece of the
Movie Gallery, a collection of movie memorabilia at the
Francis Ford Coppola Winery near Geyserville, CA, about 90 minutes north of San Francisco, CA off US-101.

The
Francis Ford Coppola Winery offers much more than just a tasting room and a home for
Tucker No. 1037. To quote Francis, it's “a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life – food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life.” For me, it was also a beautiful and memorable setting to see my
21st Tucker!
