It was a bio of the guy who tried to make a revolutionary car in the 1950s. The car was a shock to the system and the "Big 3" automakers were so threatened that they teamed up to sabotage the car. Many parallels to the Red camera. Though, as far as I know Sony, Panasonic, etc haven't gone after Red yet and it would be very foolish to do so. So, not a direct analogy.
The movie was pure propaganda and didn't have a happy ending, so hopefully that won't happen here!! Today is a different market than the '50's and Tucker wasn't a billionaire, so I’m looking forward to a happy ending.
Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting analogy. Thanks again Jim and company for breaking the rules and leveling the playing field.

The movie was pure propaganda
So you hold the truth? I think it´s a great movie, and Tucker actually suceeded in delivering the product, most of the Tuckers produced are still in driving condition.

Another parallell might be the DeLorean, and the Delorean Motor company, remember the car from "Back to the Future"?

Anyway I hope and wish for the RED camera, and I am soooo looking forward to holding one!

I hope we stay in business a bit longer than those companies... :-)

I saw one of those cars at a museum in Michigan. Very cool car for it's time, it did stuff that I'm only now starting to see in conventional cars today.

That was a Coppola film--staring Jeff Bridges, Martin Landau. An excellent film about mature capitalism and how it stifles entrepenurship (heavy government involvment with the big 3).
