<< At about 50 cars, most people didn't consider the Tucker
 a true "production" car... but your point is well taken.  Tucker
 had a super-high performance aviation-type homebuilt engine 
 (complete with hydraulically operated valves) planned for full
 production.  According to legend, Tucker actually built them in
 his kitchen.  Only a couple of complete prototypes still exist.  >>
I just saw one of these prototypes for sale in one of the classified
magazines. $250,000.
