In early 1948, Preston Tucker introduced the world to his potential new sports car designed by Tucker's chief stylist, Alex Tremulis. Later that year, Jaguar introduced their iconic XK120 sports car. Could Tucker have been competitive in the European-style sports car market as well as the US sedan market with the Tucker '48? Another "what if..." cut short.

The fastest moving motorcycle in the world is the Gyronaut X1. A motorcycle has no top, so it is sorta like a convertible. The fastest moving motorcycle on 4 wheels is the Tucker convertible, I believe is #57. What an amazing story on that car! I suppose it will be the only Tucker convertible there will ever be. At least it shows in physical form, what a Tucker convertible would be like. Tucker Wikipedia has devoted some thread time to it. It was the only 1949 model ever made. Convertible part they don't know. Looked like it was to be the model that was going to be completely restyled.
