Driver Controls, 1948 Tucker Sedan in Henry Ford Museum, December 1964
Add to SetSummary
The Tucker 48's driver controls were underdeveloped compared to the car's exciting exterior. The steering wheel, in fact, was secondhand. Ford Motor Company supplied Tucker with steering wheels from its Lincoln Zephyr line. That cooperative gesture seemingly undercut the argument that Detroit's Big Three -- or Ford, at least -- were out to destroy Tucker.
