Three-Quarter View of a 1948 Tucker Sedan
01
Artifact Overview
Preston Tucker's futuristic Tucker 48 was unlike anything else on the road in the late 1940s. The final body design was by Alex Tremulis who, in a long career, also produced designs for Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, American Bantam, Packard, Ford, and others. Tucker hallmarks included its three headlights, rear fender vents (for the rear-mounted engine), and doors cutting into the roof.
