This is a George Lawson study while he was with GM's Buick studio. Mr. Lawson did indeed do a series of drawings for the prospective Tucker, which Preston Tucker used in some of his early promotional material. Apparently while Preston Tucker liked the looks of this George Lawson styling theme, Harlow Curtis, then in charge of the Buick Division, did not.

Exactly!
Well done.

Apparently the driver sat in the centre too in line with the cyclops headlamp!
