1946 Tucker Chassis

Chassis
Chassis number: 2

This is the second Tucker Test Chassis built prior to the first Tucker 48 (chassis 1001). It has a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration, overhead valves operated by oil pressure, direct-drive torque converters, a perimeter frame for safety, and a low center of gravity. It also has Elastomeric rubber 4-wheel independent suspension, a steering box situated behind the front axle to protect the driver in a crash, and aircraft-type Kinmont disc brakes. This chassis was first purchased by Ezra Schlipf at Tucker's bankruptcy sale. Dave Cammack purchased this in June 1974, and it now resides at the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
