After WWII, American consumers were clamoring for new car designs – but the Big Three had yet to introduce any. Preston Tucker believed he could fill the void with his Tucker 48 Sedan – a new car packed full of futuristic safety innovations.
However, the Tucker Torpedo was so advanced, the Big Three, Chrysler, Ford, and GM, were afraid that it would cripple their market share. So, while Tucker prepared for full-scale production, the Big Three prepared to set them up with a lawsuit to stop production and sink the company.
