Powered by a rear-mounted flat-six
Lycoming engine, the 48 attracted a lot of attention, but Preston
Tucker’s company was declared bankrupt in March 1949 after
negative publicity (some created by hostile forces, it is said)
brought production to a halt.
Not including incomplete
cars, one prototype and 50 production vehicles were created, one
of which briefly competed in NASCAR.
