Maybe some were restored better than others.  The one I saw looked
restored
and I didn't notice anything that looked crappy.  The curator opened the
engine compartment and driver's side doors for me to have a look.  I
leaned
in but didn't touch, of course.  This one was a Heinz 57 steak sauce
color,
though I don't recall the real color's name, with a tan interior.

I actually had to call IDA as I couldn't find the pictures since they
changed their site.  In the past they had tons of pictures of the
prototype
build-up and what they went through to accomplish this, along with support
from the Tucker family.  The wheels you saw were optional, as was the air
bag suspension and other items.  Other than the Northstar engine, their
other Tuckers were near mirror images of the original.

The Tucker and the De Lorean share many traits, and results in history.
One
I have always wondered about is why they both share problems with the
lower
control arms.  Both cars were way ahead of their time in their era, but
can't compare to today's technology.  I have also wondered how each
company,
like Bricklin, would have ended up had they chosen a less-dramatic
approach
when they first went in business.
