I went to go see him while I was down in Virginia. I nearly lost myself when he showed me into his Tucker room. He was so nice and knowledgeable and I was the best part of my summer. Thank you, Mr. Cammack!
My goodness my condolences. My family went out to visit Mr. Cammack and his Tucker's over the summer and it was the best vacation I had ever had. He will be missed.
I've been to his museum. I've seen his three Tuckers and even sat in the Tin Goose, the first one. His collection is extensive to say the very least and it was an unbelievable experience to be in the presence and actually touch those cars. We will never see their equal.
RIP Uncle Dave. I'm sure you're up there talking Tucker with my Dad and Preston. Always a pleasure being around you and talking about 1022 and 1026. -Brian
A neighborhood kid came to ask me if I knew anything about Tuckers, they were studying them in school. I proceeded to tell him about a man named Dave I knew in 1988 who had a warehouse and worked on his cars all day. One day I asked him if I could see his cars and got a tour of the warehouse. After telling him this and everything Dave told me, he was so excited, wanted me to call you. I had no idea if I could find you online, but wow! What a great video interview and blast from the past!
Thank you so much David for the time, effort and money you have put in to sort out, repair, present and preserve such great material. The items could not be in better hands. When I get out to the East Coast, I must call you! I first learned about Tuckers from my dad, who lived in Chicago. He used to play with Mr. Tucker's son. At the Tucker's home there was a small model on a table of the Tucker. Continued good luck with the collection!
Mr Cammack, you are TOO MUCH !! You own not one Tucker but THREE ; you have all the engineers blueprints in boxes ; some people call it a museum but NOT YOU ; the address ?? you're not sure, it's in a back alley and hard to get to. You're on MY BUCKET LIST, I hope to meet you before I pass away. What a thrill to listen to your soothing voice. WHAT A GUY !!
Such a lucky guy to have so much from the most interesting and impressive automobile ever made. Then to own THREE Tuckers too yet! Good to see someone that truly loves and takes good care of his AWESOME things!
I saw in another video the original owner of #10. He too shared his car with everyone who wanted a ride. Too bad no insurance companies would keep him as a policy holder because the car was irreplaceable!
I would love to have contact with Mr. David Cammack, as we have with us here in Brazil Tucker # 1035 # in which case we need help to recover the vehicle, see the video of Tucker ... Thank you ... Mr. Cammack congratulated for keeping alive the myth of an Automotive Industry.
Given the sheer volume of Tucker memorabilia Mr. Commack has, he has half the resources to build a replica Tucker if he wanted to. The other half would be the money, engineering space and workshop to make the parts. Preston Tucker was seen as a crook, but mostly because he did things differently to the Big Three, and they hated the idea of having to catch up
@mattfordyce Because those in charge of big business only car about money and power, quality and safety is not as important and get this, reliabilty is a no no because they dont want your car to last, they want you to buy another one in a few years.

What a first class genuine guy - pity there is not more like him today. Brilliant car as well.

Dave is a great guy. He gave me a tour of his facility for my friends and I twice for free.

What a nice man. Class act for a class auto.
This is a very nice piece of recorded history.

That last quote was pure gold...

Great video, thanks for posting!
What a great chap!
Thanks for the testimony of a real Tucker afficianado! :) Jack
If I would to revive any automobile industry, it would be the Tuckers. The problem though is bringing back the founder. He was genius.
Id love to just have a part off a tucker to display at my home.
I saw one at the Auburn museum in INdiana

Why is it that truely great cars are always built in small numbers, and the crap ones are made in millions.
How about getting one of those Tuckers out and and doing a road test on one. Seems the owners won't do this.
Yeah that sounds like the American government! thats why I've never made a taxed dollar in my life! And I live good! Cash only!

I read somewhere else that the blueprints were lost. Not, it seems.
I love that grey one!
Love to stop buy, but where is it?
what a car!
