The Coppola winery located in Sonoma County, California showcases a restored 1948 Tucker 48. This rare car, one of only 51 produced, is a highlight of the winery’s movie memorabilia, tied to Coppola’s 1988 film Tucker: The Man and His Dream, which he directed. The film, starring Jeff Bridges, chronicles Preston Tucker’s innovative but ill-fated attempt to produce a revolutionary car with safety features like a pop-out windshield and padded dashboard. The Tucker on display is authentic, in running condition, and presented on a turntable for a 360-degree view, symbolizing Coppola’s passion for both filmmaking and automotive history.
