One of the greatest calamities of the American automotive world.
It's a disgrace that Tucker never had a chance. His company and his car had the promise of changing the entire automotive world. He was way ahead of the curve, a true engineer and visionary.... :/
Also, didn't they end up calling it the "Tucker 48" instead of "Torpedo" because he didn't want to upset WW2 vets with PTSD?... or something like that
