The Tucker 48 sedan was unlike any other car in the world when it was introduced. Some of its most unique features were a Safety Windshield , centered swiveling third headlight, quick-swap powertrain setup, and rear-mounted flat-six aircraft engine that was updated with water jackets for proper cooling. The Safety Windshield was anti-shard laminated and was designed to be easily removed in the case of an accident. The centered swiveling third headlight was synchronized to the movement of the steering wheel to help the driver see around bends in the road. The Tucker 48s rear-mounted Franklin aircraft engine could go from zero to sixty in just seven seconds! This kind of performance eclipses that of many of todays full-size luxury sedans.
