Seventy years ago, a visionary rocked the U.S. auto industry. Thirty years ago, filmmakers memorialized him. And today, the Volo Auto Museum honors the legend. The new Tucker display in Showroom 2 pays homage to the spectacular rise and fall of Preston Tucker, who took on the big three automakers in the 1940s to launch a wildly popular – but short-lived – independent brand. With much fanfare, Tuckers were introduced to the public in the summer of 1948.
