I would love a Tucker. He had so much innovation in his car that was unheard of at the time.

I don't care so much about the AWD, but if Mazda would bring the wagon variant here I would have trouble not buying one. More so if it were the 6 spd manual version profiled online (Jalopnik?) some months ago.
You can buy a brand new Tucker right now if you have the money (think deeeep into 6 figures). The shop that built the replicas for the movie (Ida Automotive in NJ) builds them to order. They are currently building a version of the never-built Tucker Torpedo.

well, not further down the road, but definitely further around the turn. When you're looking through the turn (as you should) at night you can absolutely tell a difference. Only the light that's on the inside of the turn moves, the outside light stays straight so you have a broad field of vision. It's almost not noticeable but you just have better vision in turns. Coupled with scorchingly bright lights it's an excellent system.
If you park in front of the garage and cycle the steering back and forth it's highly entertaining. It's like the headlights are doing Rockettes kicks.
