5. Tucker was a car ahead of its time

Many of the features on a Tucker were later implemented by other manufactures.

Thanks for sharing.

Suicide doors as well (back doors that would literally get ripped off if you opened them at high speed)

Engine in the back, ergo the cooling vents in the rear fenders

must be a lot of room "under the hood" in front for luggage

and be good in snow too, engine being right over the rear wheels



cool car, that!

on edit

noticed the gas tank flap on the driver's side front fender

gas tank in the front?

would have to think about that one

sure wouldn't be following anyone too closely . .
