Tucker Torpedo
The Tucker Torpedo featured numerous innovations including safety glass and a central headlight that followed the movement of the steering wheel. Also, it had a roomy interior and engine in the back with lots of power and torque.
The Tucker Torpedo was so advanced, the Big Three – Chrysler, Ford, and GM – were afraid it would cripple their market share. So, while Tucker prepared for full-scale production, the Big Three prepared to set him up with a lawsuit that eventually stopped production, sinking the company.
