Posted - 12/19/2022 : 15:50:34 No knock at Steve, I really appreciate all the great photos he posts. I am just a firm believer in the axiom "don't believe anything you hear and only half the things you see." Jay

JRyan, I'm thinking you might be missing something, so I'll point it out .... Tuckers being all accounted for does not mean all of them are snuggled up in a nice warm garage. It just means the club knows who owns them, and a location.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I know also that Steve does some background work before he posts his things daily. If he says they aren't photoshopped, I think I'd believe him.
Until I began collecting diecast, I had no knowledge about Yenko. I could very well have left one sitting out like that. In fact, someone gave me an old '59 Edsel, and I did just that to it. Had I known what would happen to prices of old cars, today I could've made some money off it! Rust got to it, and it's long gone now.
I've had a few old trucks we left outside after we took them out of service from our business, and I can say that over many years they sank into the ground just like this Yenko. lol, I bent the heavy gauge steel bumper on the '57 International I pulled with a tractor out of the spot the truck sat for 30 years, it was buried so deep. (I should've used some boards and jacks to lift it up some before I pulled on it, but I was in too much of a hurry that day)

Posted - 12/19/2022 : 10:33:16 Steve, you posted one of a Tucker recently, and later stated that all the Tuckers are accounted for, which is true, so how can there be one out in a field? It seems to me very unlikely that all these super valuable cars are out in fields. The most likely explanation is that someone photoshopped the images you found online. Jay
