In case you never watched Francis Ford Coppola's movie "Tucker", with Jeff Bridges playing the main part, it is absolute must seeing. The soundtrack by Joe Jackson is also excellent, the cameo by Howard Hughes and his H-4 Hercules is a pure moment of joy... And so are all the surviving Tucker cars (46 out of 50 built) that gather for the film's final scene...). Unfortunately there is no mention in the movie that Tucker ever designed an aircraft as such.Almost forgot: that's the only movie directed by "Francis Coppola", with no "Ford" in between. The Ford company was largely responsible for Tucker's demise, though there is no actual mention of it in the movie. Coppola probably saw this as a subtle hint of that fact...
