I will be going to this car auction next month and noticed a Tucker for sale on the website:
1948 TUCKER TORPEDO Lot 5008 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

Intresting description.

"The body design came from Alex Tremulis and was called the most aerodynamic in the world. Although it still sported pre-war type fenders, it was startlingly modern. Mathematically-computed drag coefficient was only 0.27, though this was 'rounded up' publicly to 0.30."

This car was way ahead of it's time for 1948. I saw this car in the San Diego car museum, very large car for such a small drag coefficient.

I bet it sells for over $500K
