The Most Iconic and Memorable Movie Cars to Ever Hit the Silver Screen

Tucker: The Man and His Dream

Tucker automobiles were considered cars of the future in the '40s. These cars featured a third centered headlight that swiveled as a driver turned, defensive pivoting fenders, disc brakes, a windshield that ejected during a crash, a rear engine, and a padded dash. Twenty-seven Tuckers were used on set for the film with Francis Ford Coppola. Your best chance of seeing one today is at the Smithsonian, unless you have $3 million big ones to buy one when they by chance come up at auction.
