Dream cars turned into reality
at the whims of the rich or promoters backed by
investors. Often driven by exotic designs and/or
engineering, these efforts frequently have limited
longevity. Maybe it was lack of funding, few rich
buyers, unreliability, or simply a lack of knowledge
and experience, but they failed to survive.
The Tucker is a popular example of a car that,
presumably, should have been a big success. From
a book ...to a movie ...it's saga is a classic
example of what can go wrong.
The following is a review of many examples of
exotic dropouts that are worth remembering and
collecting.
