Did you know the center headlight on a Tucker turned as you turned the wheels?

 As a matter of fact, I did. 

  The Tucker was an interesting make, and I really would have liked
to see it brought to the market. Has anyone seen the movie "Tucker"?
Did you know that he was from Ypsilanti?

I did not see the movie, but I worked for the Thomas family of Clinton
Mich.  They were related to the Tuckers.  In 1962 or 1963 when Preston
Tucker died, I went to the factory in Ypsi and helped them clean it out.
Books, records, photos, etc were scattered all over the floor via 
vandalism.  The Thomas' were looking for an ancient family bible which
he (Tucker) kept in his library - never found it.  

The factory was the pilot plant and is the site of the current Marsh
Plating Co.
