| Description |
Waltz Blue. The Tucker 48 (named after its model year) is an automobile conceived by Preston Tucker and briefly produced in Chicago in 1948. Only 51 cars were made before the company ceased operations on March 3, 1949, due to negative publicity initiated by the news media. The Tucker was designed as a very safe car with innovative features and modern styling. It had a rear mounted water-cooled aluminum block flat-6 rear engine, disc brakes, four-wheel independent suspension, fuel injection, the location of all instruments within reach of the steering wheel, seat belts, and a padded dashboard. The most recognizable feature of the Tucker '48, was a third directional headlight (known as the 'Cyclops Eye'). Centrally located, it would activate at steering angles of greater than 10 degrees to light the car's path around corners. The 1988 movie Tucker: The Man and His Dream is based on the saga surrounding the car's production. Engine; 166hp horizontally opposed 334 cu in 6 cyl |
