1948 Tucker Sedan original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
Tucker sets a new pattern of safety.
More Americans were killed or injured in motor accidents last year than in all the battles of World War II.
Figure it yourself : Every 26 seconds someone is hurt by a car. Every five minutes there's an injury that permanently cripples. Every hour, four new customers for the morgue. And remember ... the next could be you or your children.
Is improved automotive engineering the answer to this tragic problem?
Of course, no car can be made so safe that reckless, careless drivers won't pay a penalty. But the new Tucker '48 can make the highways far safer for average motorists.
The Tucker ’48 is the triumph of years of safety engineering… years Preston Tucker worked with the late Harry Miller building Miller Special cars
for the Speedway, and with the armed services creating motorized vehicles for war.
This priceless experience will give you a car with a unique system of safeguards:
(1)
Safeguards that make it far easier to avoid traffic accidents.
(2)
Safeguards that give added security in unavoidable accidents.
(3)
Safeguards that make driving so easy and free from strain that you can act on a split-second when an emergency occurs.
In a matter of months the Tucker ‘48 will be yours to drive, yours to marvel at the dozens of new features, every one exciting enough to be a major model change in a normal year.
You'll see a car longer and more luxurious than others in the medium-price field. Only five feet
high from road to roof. Not 100, not 120, but 150 horsepower of smooth rear-engine power.
And what a joy to drive! No engine heat, fumes and noise flowing back through the passenger compartment because the engine is in the rear. Ordinary traction jolts and jars either eliminated or unbelievably softened by the exclusive new rubber torsional wheel suspension. A car, at last with solid four-wheel stability, geared to the road.
In every way you'll see a completely new kind of performance in I948's only completely new car!
Someone on your street may be among the first to own a Tucker ‘48. It could be you. A nationwide Tucker dealer organization has already been set up... will be ready to service your Tucker ‘48 wherever you are. Watch for dealers' announcements in local newspapers.
HOW TUCKER HELPS PREVENT TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS WHICH ALL MOTORCAR MAKERS ARE COMBATTING
TUCKER CYCLOPS EYE
Sixty percent of traffic fatalities occur during dusk and darkness. Turning corners is especially hazardous because fixed headlights leave a blind spot around the corner. You can be in an accident before you can see it.
Tucker Cyclops Eye turns with front wheels, lighting your way around corners, giving you precious seconds to avoid accidents.
TUCKER SAFETY WINDSHIELD
When impact hurls victim against conventional wind-shield, lacerations from broken glass or other injuries frequently result
Lacerations and skull fractures from hitting windshield are virtually eliminated.
TUCKER CRASH COWL
No. 1 hazard to front-seat passengers is the instrument panel, for a collision frequently plunges face or head against it
The Tucker Crash Cowl of upholstered sponge rubber replaces the instrument panel which is moved to steering column below cowl. The Tucker crash cowl, like those in army tanks, reduces chance of serious injury.
TUCKER PRECISION BALANCE
Rear-wheel skids when braking are frequently caused by sudden load shifts and faulty weight distribution. Weight of engine in front plus arrested impetus of car clamps front wheels down on the
road, leaving rear wheels with less traction.
Tucker precision balance tends to eliminate this cause of skids. Rear engine adds weight on rear. So when brakes are applied car weight is more evenly distributed and all four wheels have more equal traction.
TUCKER SAFETY CRASH CHAMBER
The danger spot in a collision is the front seat, for in many cases rear-seat occupants can drop to the floor for protection. But front-seat occupants have no shield, and the impact may drive the engine back in their laps.
Tucker Crash Chamber, under cowl, is lined with sponge rubber and is protected by two steel safety bulkheads. Front-seat occupants can drop into it instantly.
TUCKER SAFETY FRAME
Many collisions aren’t head-on but angle or side blows at points where often nothing protects occupants but the sheet steel sides and light superstructure.
Tucker Safety Frame surrounds passenger compartment, protecting passengers and vital parts of car. This frame is actually lower than center line of wheels, greatly reducing chances of overturning. It is prow-shaped to deflect angle blows with minimum damage.
Progress Report from the Tucker Plant
Right now the world’s largest, most modern automotive plant is getting set to produce the Tucker ‘48. Forms and dies, jigs and fixtures are flowing in from suppliers.
Already the first fleet of pilot cars is being produced. Production lines are being set up. In a matter of months you’ll see Tucker ‘48s on the road.
