"Preston Tucker was a car-crazy kid who hung around auto speedways and grew up to create an automobile--the Tucker--that was years ahead of its time. He was a man of pioneering spirit, ingenuity and daring, who revolutionized Detroit in the 1940s with his stunning "Car of Tomorrow." It was streamlined, futuristic and fast--the car every American dreamed of owning, at a price most people could afford. A man of endless enthusiasm, Tucker publicized his model all over the country to wild acclaim. He sold stock, set up a factory . . . and then the auto industry launched a devastating anti-Tucker campaign.

 Tucker was plagued by powerful enemies, stalled by production problems and hounded by the SEC. And it seemed that his dream . . . might never get off the ground. Yet in the dizzying world of high finance, strangling regulations and political power plays, Tucker held fast to his unique American vision. At last, fifty Tuckers rolled off his assembly line, prized by collectors and copied by competitors--bold, dynamic designs that live on in the cars America drives today!"
