2. My dad was 13 years old at the time. He and his buddies had a joke they told on this topic. Typical 13-year-old humor.

Of course, in addition to the Tucker, a couple of other makes on the automotive market at that time were the Kaiser and the Fraser.

The joke involved a trio of top business executives out for a round of golf, who were discussing what they were getting their secretaries for Christmas.

"I'm going to buy my secretary a Kaiser, and surprise her!", declared the first exec.

"I'm going to buy my secretary a Fraser, and amaze her!", boasted the second.

The third exec just sort of chuckled to himself, because he was buying his secretary a Tucker.
