(Preston Tucker, we miss you) Preston Tucker was a person who acknowledged the fact that wealth can indeed be created, and that the entrepreneur is actually the man who is the driving force behind the creation of wealth and of economic growth. Thus it was that Tucker happened to hit upon the idea that even poor people needed to keep their milk fresh and edible at all times, and therefore needed a refrigerator that would help them to do it. This was why Tucker set about creating a refrigerator that would work on kerosene and not on electricity, and this would be something that the poorest of the poor would be able to afford with ease. This would have been 'capitalism at its finest' if it had been accepted and created, but it was neither accepted by the government nor was it created. Thus another brilliant idea was laid to the dust. (Hollywood's Views of Capitalism)

Tucker was in essence an extremely controversial personality, who had to surrender his dreams of creating a dream car that would not only look great but would also be very safe for the passengers, and when there were quite a few unprecedented problems with the production of the car, and when there were allegations that he was a fraud and a trickster, he had to give up his fondest dreams despite the fact that the car that he had designed was an excellent idea and would have been met with large scale success if it had been allowed to be manufactured. The movie entitled 'Tucker: the Man and his Dream' directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Jeff bridges tells the story of the man Preston Tucker and all the ups and downs of his life.

Preston Tucker was himself a tall and handsome, charismatic and always well dressed, and with an almost sometimes manic enthusiasm for the automobile, maybe because of the fact that he spent much of his early childhood near and around mechanic's garages and shops,...

Though he worked as salesman and even as a builder of racing cars with the collaboration of Harry A Miller, with whom his first contract happened to be the 'Miller-Ford Indy racing Cars', which was later rejected as being inadequate by Henry Ford, Preston Tucker was a man who kept all his dreams alive, and when he saw the chance and the opportunity for the entry of a new car, any car into the Post War era, he quickly went about manufacturing his own car.

However, even when his business was closed down after a few short years, the man lived with hope and never gave up his dreams. He went on to create ideas and designs for refrigerators, and other such items, and never gave up. He was a True Hero.
