[DMCForum] Re: New Tucker Controversy



DeLoreans drive to shows (and everywhere else) under own power.
Tuckers show up in trailers. Need I say more?

Don't know about size, but AMC's Kenosha plant was OLDEST continuously
operating transportation factory in US when sold to Chrysler (as
ongoing concern, thank you very much). Made bicycles there in 1800's.

Stand by assertion that Big 3 would have screwed up DeLo, certainly
out of starting gate if not throughout first year production (which
for us basically IS production). They've done it with all other
"original" designs.
