Norman Timbs Buick Roadster -- this is the most brilliant representative of the American self-made cars from the late 1940s to the early 1950s. Comparing to other similar vehicles, this roadster is characterized in that it was created not by a car fan, but by a professional design engineer, who worked with the Tucker Corporation.

Main feature of the Norman Timbs Buick Roadster is not in a futuristic design, but its construction. This car has become almost the first American car with a mid-engine layout. This technique will appear in the US until the end of the 1960s.
