Gotta love a car with three headlights !

 

Interesting that in the early Lawson (sp?) design, the cyclops light was fixed. But when the moving front fenders got ditched, the cyclops light became the one that pointed the way in turns.

Preston had SO many keen ideas but not enough money -- or time -- to make it all happen. Though the Tucker failure is a damn shame, I will awlays believe Preston could have made it the car to beat in the market, had he just had one big-money backer.

...and here's the moment in time that Alex Tremulis was able to convince Preston Tucker that the moveable fenders had to go (January/February 1947).

 

and the counting shall be three!
