About this product

Product Information

Francis Ford Coppola directed this truly American story based on the real-life struggles of one man and his fight against big government and large corporations. In 1945 Michigan, Preston Tucker (Jeff Bridges) created a car for the future equipped with fuel injection, a center headlight, seat belts, a rear engine, disc brakes, shatterproof glass, and a pop-out windshield. With the support of his wife (Joan Allen), his son (Christian Slater), and his business manager (Martin Landau in an Academy Award-nominated performance), Tucker produced fifty of his dream cars. However, Detroit's Big Three, with the help of a Washington senator (played by Jeff Bridges's father, Lloyd, in an uncredited role), set up significant roadblocks. Tucker is investigated for fraud and his plant is closed. Coppola had been planning to make a film based on the life of Preston Tucker since 1974. His own struggle to retain independence from the Hollywood studios mirrors the auto maverick's story. Of the 50 cars Tucker made, 46 are still roadworthy (Coppola and Executive Producer George Lucas each own one). Pop musician Joe Jackson composed the music for the film.

    The item’s quality is excellent, just as described in the listing. The packaging was outstanding, ensuring it wasn’t damaged during shipping and transit, and it was bagged and boarded for extra protection. The magazine is brand new and from the 2010s, making it rare, especially since Marvel editions are out of print. The value is well worth it given its scarcity. The seller’s communication was also great, answering any questions promptly. Overall, I am very satisfied.

    Arrived perfectly and well protected. Loved that my order was shipped in one package and within a sturdy envelope so it could be delivered to my letterbox and not a parcel on my front step. As described and happy with my purchase.

    Tucker Should be in the Media Library of Every Home In America

    Tucker Should be in the Media Library of Every Home In America. It is important that our children know every aspect of this nation's history. We should never forget how the rich and powerful can squash a man's or woman's dream. I first saw this movie in theaters. I consider it both educational and entertaining. It was interesting to discover that many of the features on cars that we take for granted today were first introduced by Tucker. Furthermore, these same features were initially ridiculed and rejected by the three major car manufacturers, and that Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have more than been paid back for what they did to Mr. Tucker. While they worked so hard to keep one more American from realizing the, American Dream, in the years since, multiple foreign car manufacturers ...

    Tucker 40s Automobile

    Well executed, characters are awesome. Good plot based on a true story. American greed between the auto companies. Even tho Tucker was a better automobile, well beyond the vision of his creator. Innovations that did not take hold into late the 1970s early 80s.

    What a car!

    Coppola movies are great, and this production is fine. After reading two books about Tucker you come to realize "it's a movie" and that so much of the life of Preston Tucker has been glossed over. The car has lived on, a cherished piece of automobile history.

    Interesting history lesson on what large corportations get away with

    This was an interesting look at how Tucker was treated when he came up with incredible ideas to make automobiles more efficient. Like any other great ideas, the big money folks rule the world!

    Tucker A man and His Dream

    This is a fantastic movie about a man and his dream of building a very impressive car. These cars actually exist. He set the standards that the big three Auto makers had to adopt n order to stay competitive. Based on a true story.
