I'd like to suggest an addition to all future firetrucks.

ok... so not quite built yet.

Willys-Overland, then we could have REAL jeeps again.

I think Tucker would have eventually been run by John Delorean. It was a company that would have appealed to John with his background. Hard to say if Preston would have lived longer than he did, but considering his early passing, it would have needed a personality like John to take over. Would have produced some…

I lived in Carrollton, GA at the time working for a playground company, the guy i knew was in HR and ran our ISO certification program. Cool guy, he showed me some of the other car projects they had going on, including a Lister

Their biggest fault was neglecting their original mission. To be the most American made car available. Once they built the Vue with honda parts, the started the ball rolling, it then accelerated their decline when they started rebading Opels.

Eh?

I knew a guy that worked for the company that built these in GA, but after they decided to move the factory to Mexico, I think they pretty well fell apart.

http://www.studebakermotorcompany.com/home/home/ can you hunt down and see what's going on with these guys?

I want to see Tucker come back with a fully modularized platform. If they developed the drivetrain to be swappable (something the original claimed possible in 15min or so) then you could sell the car, and lease the drive train. Some one buys a car for local commutes or where charging stations are common, they can go…

couldn't resist.

yeah?

We may know some of the same folks. we have an old family friend that used to be pretty high ranking at Ellsworth involved in the B1 program.

this is the sort of stuff you get when you let a 6th grader lead your design program.

This guy did it better.

and then there's this

I've always sort of liked the stutz, but it does remind me a bit of this. The Barrister (George Barris custom). This was Liberace's, and yes that candelabra is attached.

no room for this on the list, eh?
