You're thinking of the "Tucker". Yes, in many ways it was really ahead of it's time. However I don't believe it was the very first rear engined car. The Tucker dates to 1948, and I know that Volkswagen was making a rear engined military vehicle around the late 1930's that eventually developed into the Beetle.
PS. I didn't have to look it up on Wikipedia.

TUCKER! A great American car ahead of its time in performance and safety. Unfortunately DOA, because of big industry and the government. Its also a great movie if you can find it. It's called "Tucker"
But it is certainly not the first car to have its engine in the rear.
