1948 Tucker Torpedo

One Man's Dream Turns Into A Nightmare The Futuristic Tucker Was 20 Years Ahead of its Time In the late 1940's Preston Tucker had a dream. He wanted to combine comfort, power, and safety at an affordable price. He added features such as four-wheel independent suspension, rear-mounted Bell helicopter engine, pop-out safety windshield, and an uncrushable passenger compartment. You'll Step Into a New Automobile Age When You Drive Your Tucker '48 That was Tucker's ad slogan and the public dreamed along with him. An incredible 300,000 orders where received. Unfortunately, Tucker ran out of financing and only 51 were ever built.

This Special Edition is Precision Engineered From Tucker's Own Plans. Now in master model maker detail are all the Tucker Torpedo's futuristic features from the forward opening rear-doors to the 355 cubic inch flat six engine. All details- emblems, logos, and insignias- are here in showroom perfect finish, just like Preston Tucker dreamed they would be.
