Tuckers For Today
A hot rod house has produced a near replica of the Tucker '48 Torpedo using the original blueprints and mold.
Its not exact of course as the engine is moved a bit forward to improve balance (its almost a mid engine now )and the thing has A/C and a modern electronics fit (GPS/ stereo ect.) but damn....this is cool.
And yet it gets cooler still because they've done a low rider version updated, behold the Lower 48!
A bit more contemporary in style both within and without, it is still very faithful to the Tucker.
Sadly for us (though it is no doubt joyous for them) they are completely booked up at the moment.
Well...one can dream.....
UPDATE: Wonderduck points out that there is a movie of the Tucker story.
