TOLEDO, O.--The Fifth Annual Sports Car and Boat Show, featured by the display of the fabulous Tucker automobile, is being brought to Toledo again this year by promoter Tom Groff of Detroit, one of the top auto collectors in the midwest area. The Sports Car show will be held at Toledo's Civic Auditorium Feb. 19, 20 and 21, with exhibits to be on display from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. Feature of the show will be the display of the revolutionary, rear-engine drive "Tucker" owned by Groff, who admits that the car would be for sale "for the right price." However, Groff has turned down offers ranging up to $10,000 for his Tucker model, one of the few still in top running condition in the country.
