1948 TUCKER TORPEDO

The 1948 Tucker Torpedo with three headlights.  One in the center.  The third headlight rotated in any steering direction to illuminate the path of a turn.  Even automotive wizards of that era stood in awe of Tucker’s innovations: seat belts, a pop-out windshield, a padded dashboard, reinforced frames, a cyclops headlight and a powerful engine and drivetrain. Almost all of them have since been incorporated into vehicles, (but not the third headlight).
