Car Radio for 1948 Tucker Automobile
01
Artifact Overview
Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. The power of branding -- coupled with consumer brand loyalty -- has also led to the creation of promotional items designed for sale to the public. This Tucker-branded radio could be purchased prior to owning the car. Many radios were sold but only 51 cars were built.
