The three-eyed monster
1948 Tucker. A highly innovative design from a start-up that lasted only a year, due to being wiped out by court costs in (successfully) defending against a Securities & Exchange Commission complaint. The middle headlight was hooked to the steering mechanism such that it followed the road when the wheels were turned. Seems like a good idea, altho AFAIK no one else ever implemented it. I wonder if three "eyes" just made the front of the car look too alien! The inset is a view of the car from the side with the interpretive sign. National Automobile Museum (Harrah Collection), Reno, Nevada.

slgwv club has replied to William Sutherland clubslgwv club has replied to Ruebenkraut clubAs far as I know, the designer, Preston Tucker, was also the first automaker to call for seat belts in passenger cars and built them into this Tucker '48. I remember a movie about this that I saw many years ago. This detail remained in my memory.
