-Tucker acquired the rights and assets of Aircooled Motors Corp. (Franklin).

-Remember that these superb automobiles were powered by Franklin brand aircraft engines. Now, Tucker.

-However, the experience with the Tuckers was bizarre.

-A movie explained the story.

From Appendix 6: As we know from the main text, the Franklin aircraft engine factory (Aircooled) was acquired by Tucker to adapt its engines to the extraordinary car, of which he only built small series.

-It turns out that in various articles and magazines, it is mentioned that the engine was the air-cooled six-cylinder.

Proof of this are two sets of the systems used.
