Didn't the Tucker have a Lyc or Cont engine? ISTR reading years back
that it was powered by a helicopter engine. I assume that means an
air-cooled flat six?

When Tucker was having trouble with their own engine design, they bought
out Franklin and converted one of the Franklin engines to water cooled.
When Franklin went belly-up, the Franklin engine division was sold off.
