    Also, I hear the DVD of the Coppola film is out of print. If you can get your hands on a copy, pick one up. It's a wonderful and visually stunning movie.

  3. I am since my childhood impressed by guys like Preston Tucker. Guys, that have guts, love for the automobile, original in their designing cars and have the guts to do something quite new. It's a shame, that the big three didn't play a nice role in the story of this automotive hero.
