Summary

[edit]
Description

1948 Tucker 48 Horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine, overhead valves, 334 cubic inches displacement, 116 horsepower Many features of Preston Tucker’s futuristic sedan challenged convention, and its rear-mounted power plant was no exception. When his 589-cubic-inch en- gine proved unworkable, Tucker turned to Aircooled Motors, whose O-335 unit, typically used in helicopters, was con- verted to water cooling, laid on its side and slid snugly into the sedan. Tucker claimed the 320-pound engine could be removed and replaced in 18 minutes. Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford.
