Nice work, but I think the Tucker is too much of a futuristic-looking vehicle to have the curving wood outline like that. I'd reverse the effect, putting the wood on the fenders......and glass in the quarter area instead of panel. (Nice, but just my opinion...)
Yes it was. A flat-six Continental engine, similar to what was used in small planes back then, except I believe it was water-cooled. Those 'vents' on the rear fenders were for air to the radiators.
