The Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum holds some 30 classic cars along with untold stocks of auto-related ephemera, from cutaways to racing banners to neon lights to posters to stickers to t-shirts to model cars, even the cardboard cutout for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1988 film “Tucker: The Man and His Dream,” the story of Preston Tucker, the independent, Ypsilanti-based auto designer whose 1948 Tucker Sedan holds a special place in the hearts of auto enthusiasts.
