“1988, Jeff Bridges played Preston Tucker in a movie that George Lucas produced called Tucker: The Man and His Dreams,” Midwest Dream Car Collection Executive Dir. Chris Gergeni said. “This is one of those cars. This one was in the movie, but it’s also one of the original 51 total produced.”

This car is now just one of 47 of its kind left in the world.
