<VV>Front vs Rear...........Tucker

[Louis C. Armer,Jr.]

Hey Lonzo, Tucker cars were water cooled helicopter engines 
manufactured by Lycoming or
Continental but I don't remember which company. The Cofer family of 
Tucker, Georgia take
their Tucker for a drive occasionally and it is an awesome sounding powerplant.
