"The most notorious and publicized (postwar) company of them all was the famous Tucker. Hundreds of dealers signed up to handle this still-unborn car and thousands of dollars were invested in a vehicle which was heralded as the first new thing in transportation since they wheeled a wooden horse into Troy. Everything from its Cyclops Eye and streamlined body to its aircraft engine in the rear was all new. We brought you the test of the Tucker in August 1948 and believe me, it was a lot closer to being off the ground and a success than anyone may think. When I tested this car, and I tested several of them in the spring of ’48, it was the best-performing automobile in America, by far. Despite some fantastic yellow journalism by some well-known publications, the Tucker car was in production, the assembly line was moving and they were building cars. I saw all this with my own eyes. The history of what really sank the Tucker will be truthfully written some day."
