Tucker car

Did you try the company and wasn't it the 6AC Tucker used.

I believe they still have a Tucker auto at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. If you are not too far away, or if a reader lives near there, you can check the car.

They have a Tucker, and an extra engine (partly dissassembled) on display at the San Diego Automotive Museum. Was just there. Interesting car.

I put a pic in your Dynastar thread.

Other engine pics, etc are here in the Wikipedia article. The engine was a modified Franklin, with water cooling.

For the first time ever, the hoods will be up on many of the display cars at Michigan's Henry Ford Museum, from tomorrow until the end of the month. If you live in that area, and their Tucker is included, you have a new reason to visit. The Detroit News/ Free Press covered this story recently.

What a great history of this layout: 911, Corvair, Franklin, and the aero engines. Probably none carried to the extremes of the 935/ 962 turbos. There are also a lot of engines on display at the Oshkosh aero museum in WI.
