The Tucker '48 Motor Car Sales Brochure The 1st Completely New Car In 50 Years For Sale

This advertisement brochure for the Tucker Motor Car is a significant artifact, measuring17" x 22 1/2".

It commemorates Preston Thomas Tucker (September 21, 1903 – December 26, 1956), an innovative American automobile designer and entrepreneur. His most notable creation, the 1948 Tucker Torpedo, introduced numerous pioneering features that are now standard in modern vehicles. Unfortunately, the production of the Tucker Torpedo was halted due to allegations of stock fraud on March 3, 1949. The 1988 film, “Tucker: The Man and His Dream,” portrays the development of this iconic car and the challenges faced during its production.

Preston Tucker’s legacy began on a peppermint farm near Capac, Michigan. After the untimely death of his father, Shirley Harvey Tucker (1880-1907), from appendicitis, Preston was raised by his mother, Lucille Caroline (née Preston) Tucker (1881-1960), in the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park, Michigan. Demonstrating an early passion for automobiles, Tucker began refurbishing and selling cars for profit at the age of 16. His career in the automotive industry was furthered by his role as an office boy at the Cadillac Motor Company, where he famously used roller skates for efficiency. Tucker’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident throughout his life, as seen in his ventures and the enduring impact of his designs.
