It’s a similar story to Tesla today in some ways. What a shame his cars were never mass produced. RIP.

Yes,a great movie.
Particularly the last scene when a number of the production cars all drove up together.

Wonder if the helicopter engine still retained the “Jesus” Nut?

Best movie ever to show the mechinations of big over small. THe sad part was that it was true.
They may have passed but their memories (& hopefully passion) live on.

Yes I agree, Tucker the Man and his Dream, was a great movie and was an even sadder story.

I loved that movie…
He stood for everything that is great in automotive development. The US needed someone like him to improve competition. Shame they just smacked him down :(

RIP Tucker.

I like it..its got that classic lead sled look with a number of unique features such as the 6 individual exhaust pipes.. mind you I would much rather have a Studebaker Siver or Golden Hawk Coupe.
