There's a fantastic story behind Preston Tucker and his amazing innovated car that if you don't know much of it, spend some time and research their history. This is an early Franklin Mint model and lacks the refinement and parts count of DM's "Tin Goose" prototype model, but it certainly represents the 1:1 well.
Great photos of the FM Tucker Rich! And I totally agree on FM capturing the essence of its uniqueness. For those interested in getting more insight in to Preston Tucker's innovative car, I highly recommend this book. It was published in 1989 by ON THE MARK Publications. It is an exciting and informative read.
I'm not sure how factually accurate it is, but the 1988 movie, "Tucker: The Man and His Dream" starring Jeff Bridges (directed by Francis Ford Coppola) is one I've watched more than once.
