Pimp THIS Ride! On Second Thought, Please DON'T

This little gem of a 1949 Tucker sedan just rolled off of the auction block at Barrett-Jackson this past weekend for a cool 2.65 million (yes, Virginia - MILLION) dollars. It comes as a bit of a surprise, only because the last time a Tucker was sold (about fifteen-ish years ago) it was a 300,000 dollar car.

So much for the declining American economy. Then again, if you have 2.65 m to drop on a collector car, you don't give much of a damn what the general economy is doing anyway. By the way, this is one of a handful of the surviving cars from Tucker's total production run of 51 cars. They are beyond rare.
