Tucker: The Man And His Dream (1988)

Many people may not remember this Francis Ford-Coppola film that tells the story of Preston Tucker. While traveling a few years ago, I visited a few of the locations.

The house was located at 645 Charles Van Damme Way in Sonoma, California.

The malt shop was located at 601 San Mateo Avenue in San Bruno, California.

They tested prototypes at the Petaluma Fairgrounds Speedway 100 Fairgrounds Drive in Petaluma, California.

The factory was located at 1414 Harbour Way South in Richmond, California.

This was shot near the intersection of Telegraph Avenue and 19th Street in Oakland, California.

City Hall in Oakland, California.

They also shot at City Hall in San Francisco.

And finally, they drive by the theatre located at 807 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, California.

I got to see Francis Ford Coppola at Telluride Film Festival one year!
