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.

Josh Bell had a pair of RBI singles and Jonah Bride drove in two runs as the Marlins won for the third time in 12 games and avoided a series sweep. Miami got 14 hits and had eight players with at least one RBI, a stark difference from a day earlier when the Marlins’ bats were mostly muffled in a 20-4 loss to the A’s. “Super big,” Gordon said.
