Tucker Unveils A Dud
March 21, 1950

On this day in 1950, Preston Tucker introduced his prototype car that had received tremendous hype and public attention. Though the car had many supporters, Tucker defaulted on the deadline and only 51 cars were built. Tucker stated that his failure was a result of a conspiracy orchestrated by the "Big Three" car manufacturers already in place in the American car market.

Tip of the Day

Planning

Set clear expectations and answer any student questions before going on computers. For example, prepare or print out directions that you can review together before students go online to visit an interactive exhibit or complete a learning activity.
