I had never heard of the Tucker car or of Preston Tucker until I brought home a video of the film staring Lloyd Bridges. I loved it because the story was so inspiring. It was also depressing as it showed how the life of the great Tucker car was crushed. Having visited your website, and read the literature, the advertising and the specifications I realise now the enormity of the tragedy which denied it to a motoring public. What would we have been driving now had we not let the "future pass us by" as we stood, blindfolded, at the very threshold of an exciting era for the automobile? And how many lives would have been saved?. How many tragic accidents would never have happened? Guess we'll never know. Maybe in some other dimension the Tucker Car and its descendants are bringing happiness into a better world than ours.

Hi, my name is Amy. The first time I heard of a Tucker automobile was when the movie "Tucker, A Man and His Dream" came out. From that moment on, I was hooked! Preston Tucker was a genius. I finally got a chance to see a Tucker for myself on Arpil 4, 1998, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway at a car show. It was a dream come true! If Mr. Tucker had been allowed to continue making his cars, how much different would the cars being built today be? I guess we will never know.

We seriously need, within the present automobile industries, another visionary as Tucker. With all the sameness and uninteresting designs coming upon the market, we need, as Americans, an new breakthrough in the creativity and freshness so nec essary to our automobile industry. We've supposedly have held our ground against most overseas companies, and now we seem stagnent in moving ahead of our present position;or are we just afraid? Eventually, someone else from somewhere else will come up wit h a break-through design or train of thought, and we will be back to the drawing board, fighting it out all over again. It is ground we, as Americans, cannot afford to loose.

My name is Harley Rosinsky I was raised in California and my father was the west coast distributor for the Tucker car. Whenever Preston Tucker came out west he stayed at our house, in fact he stayed in my bedroom and I got the couch. My father had one of the tucker cars which was used at the west coast auto show held at the Pan Pacific auditorium. I remember sitting in the car as it was rotating around and people holding hundred dollar bills in their hands shouting I want to buy one. I was onl y 11 years old and it made quite an impression. My dad had the car for awhile on display at his car lot and then finally sold it because reverse went out. I would like to find out if anyone knows which number car we owned. By the way my fathers name was I sadore Rosinsky and his business name was Big Town Motorsm located at 4th and vermont in Los Angelos.

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed your site. I grew up hearing about the Tucker legend from my grandfather who was a Tucker employee. My grandfather was the plant Paint Foreman and also travelled the country w ith the car (in a plane that he lovingly called "the Lame Duck") so that he could perform any emergency touch-ups in case the paint got scratched or nicked during transport.

Now that he has passed on, it's nice to be able to see the remnants of the Tucker Legend online, because in many ways, it's my grandfather's legend too. We will never be able to see a Tucker without thinking of the spark in his eye when he talked about hi s time at Tucker, the greatness of that automobile, and all that might have been.

Hi, my name is David and I have been a Tucker fan since 1993 and I have never looked back. I admire folks who have the will to succeed with determination and the courage to overcome obstacles. If you know Preston Tucker's story, then I"m sure you know what he had to overcome in order to produce and promote :  "The Car Of Tomorrow Today"!!!   Mister Tucker's dream has been met with extreme challenges, but was optimistic when things went bad. I believe in heroes and Preston Thomas Tuck er is on the top of my list. People may say that Tucker is a "has been", but I say that he is an "IS NOW"!!!
