Artists, gear-heads and lovers / collectors of classic post-WWII automobiles will be thrilled to learn a 1947 concept car designed by Preston Tucker is being brought back to life.
The top photo seen here is 1947 ad copy for the futuristic Tucker Torpedo.

The 1948 Tucker was simply called the Tucker '48.

and the nefarious behind-the-scenes-efforts of the other auto manufacturers of the day.
Below is the link to the car's profile & history:
