IMO it's ugly as sin.

I read some article that alluded to cars being more 'friendly' as in a grin, or 'cute' looking will sell more, anything too weird or unfriendly like the Tucker will not....I suspect more that Tucker flat lost the sales race on account of that bad news center light than anything else....lack of market research, classic case of know the customer first....marketing 101....

Ill agree that they are pretty ugly, but this is probably the best looking one I have seen. It was built about 30 minutes from where I live. Ive seen it in person too, and it is a pretty wild car. Lots of little details you cant see in the photos.

The Tucker went belly up because Detroit's big 3 fucked him over. Case closed.:beer:
