Preston Tucker and His Battle to Build the Car of Tomorrow
After World War II, the American automobile industry was reeling. Then in stepped Preston Tucker. This salesman extraordinaire from Ypsilanti, Michigan, had built race cars before the war and had designed prototypes for the military during it. Now he announced the creation of a revolutionary new car: the Tucker '48, the first car in almost a decade to be built fresh from the ground up. But as the public eagerly awaited Tucker's car of tomorrow, an SEC commissioner with close ties to Detroit's Big Three automakers deliberately leaked information about an investigation the agency was conducting. Here, Steve Lehto tackles the story of Tucker's amazing rise and tragic fall, relying on a huge trove of documents that has been used by no other writer to date.
