The car that killed its own company. Meet the Tucker '48. Built in the late 1950s with revolutionary features decades ahead of its time: seatbelts, a center headlight that turned with the wheels, rear-mounted engine. Big automakers feared Tucker would change everything, so government pressure crushed the company after only 51 cars were made. Today, those rare Tuckers are worth millions, but the brand died because innovation threatened the wrong people. Sometimes being too far ahead kills you. |
