My uncle inherited a nice black corvair convertible, from his wife's aunt or something.

The flew out to California, picked it up, washed it and went on a road trip. Started in San Bernadino, drove up the coast, and stopped off at the folk's house for a couple days, went to SF and Tahoe, Yosemite, Yellowstone and back to Nebraska. Second air cooled car I ever saw, first being a bug with the sportomatic.

I never saw a gold wing motorbike up close, or a Tucker in real life. have a coffee table book with one though
Tucker was a helicopter motor as I recall,
Subaru does still make the flat six. The 2010+ Legacys now have the 3.6 liter H6 engine in them. (The EZ36 engine which incorporates possibly the only implementation of an asymmetrical connecting rod in a modern application. The offset connecting rod was designed to allow additional displacement from the same exterior dimensions.) - This one was taken from Wiki!

You may never see a Tucker. There were only about 50 of them made.

I think I'm leaning towards that too now... took a couple on a test drive and really like it. How good's your discount just out of curiosity?
