These were taken at the 2016 Orphan Car Show in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Each year the theme or main attraction of the show is different. This year it featured the 1948 Tucker, there were two actual Tuckers on display as well as custom built Street Rod by Rob Ida Concepts. 

The 1st was car #1015. This car is in the Stahl's Collection, St. Clair Shores, MI

Wow John, what an incredible display of Tuckers. Love the first two but I'm very uncomfotable with the looks of that Street Rod version, especially the wheels.

This 'Final touches'' image of the Tuckers is a classic and a real treat to see. 

Great addition to John's post.

The custom built Street Rod by Rob Ida Concepts appeared at the Sommerville (NJ) cruise night a few years back. Nicely done.
