"Tucker: The Man and His Dream" cardboard display piece

[GMguy74]

I attended the AACA Fall Meet in Hershey, PA on Saturday and while browsing around an automobile literature vendor's booth I found the above cardboard display piece from the movie. I'm thinking it was part of a larger display for when either the VHS video was released back in the late '80s or more recently when the DVD release went on sale. The vendor wasn't sure where it came from, but sold it to me on the cheap, so I couldn't refuse. I initially wanted it, then wasn't sure what I'd do with it so I balked, then figured if I passed on it I'd probably regret it later in the day. So I bought it and got an awful look from my wife when I walked into the house with this cardboard cut-out

So, am I right in my guess in how this piece of cardboard cut-out was used? It is in really good shape, so I'm not positive that it is from the '80s. Is it something I should preserve? The vendor suggested I mount it in the "man cave" - aka garage, but I'm not sure I should be putting holes in it. If it's worthless because the rest of the display is missing, then I might just go ahead and put it up in the garage (at least the wife will like that I'm making some use of my purchase, rather than being added to the growing collection of "car stuff" in the basement).

Your thoughts, opinions, and/or advice is appreciated!!

I would suggest contacting the production company that made the movie as a first step. I would ask them who you might contact about promotional material used for the movie. Then take it from there. You might have a real find or maybe not. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

That was part of a big display. Also a small one was available about 10 inches tall. I will get you a photo of the complete display later today or sometime this week.

Thanks for the information. The measurements of the cardboard piece I purchased are as follows: 18" high by 37 1/4" long. Needless to say, it was a royal P.I.T.A. to carry around at Hershey Saturday due to the breeze/wind (I bought it pretty early in the day and carried it around with me everywhere - people probably saw me and thought I was crazy!!). I look forward to seeing the picture(s).

I would display it in a frame like the ones they use for posters. I have a signed print from the artist Ken Marschall (check him out here if your curiouse http://www.transatlanticdesigns.com/about.html ) and I have it on display like that because I cant afford to have a custom frame made for it.
