~ Hugh Tuckers AA/SR (2/1/02) ~
You've probably seen what Hugh Tucker's roadster
looked like "back then". If not, check out
this
page and
this page for a
look at the baddest AA/SR that ever roamed the planet! Here's a few photos of the newly restored version
taken on the 1st of February, 2002 when Hugh and Charlene passed through
Redding, CA on their way to Pomona. By the time those lucky enough
to spend time at the NHRA Museum see it, the car will be lettered in the
original "Ventura Motors" scheme.

"new" baby.
I thought it looked rather good on me!
Not a lot to say here.
It's a beauty and the detail is astounding. Nice work, Hugh!
Let's see now...original wheelie
springs, original springs, original ladder bars. If you look at
some of the other pictures, even the front tires are the
originals! Not likely he'll be making any high speed runs on 40
year old tires!!!
Who says that there's no "art"
in hotrods?
