One of the most interesting cars at last week's Scottsdale auctions, the 1948 Tucker convertible, failed to reach its reserve price. A survivor of the windstorm that blew down Russo and Steele's tents, the car suffered some minor damage but it's doubtful that had anything to do with the situation. Justin Cole, President of Benchmark Classic Restoration, which restored the car, agreed to repair 100 percent of the damages. Neverthless bidding stalled at $1.4 million, with the reserve rumored to be $1.5 million. Either way, this would have been the most ever paid for a Tucker. The convertible had always been the subject of controversy, with some claiming that it wasn't a legitimate factory car but a recent investigation, assuring that it had, indeed, been designed and built internally, settled that argument for good.
