The Smithsonian needs your help to decide which two of eight cars in the National Museum of American History's collection will go on display next month. Voting will take place through Jan. 11 and the top two vote-getters will go on display from Jan. 22 to Feb. 21.

While some of the cars are fairly well known -- even famous -- a few are models even avid car buffs may not have heard of.

The Tucker definitely falls into the "famous" category. Its creation was even the subject of a Hollywood movie. Tuckers had only a brief production run cut short by an SEC investigation into the carmaker's financing. The museum's is one of only 46 remaining of the 51 built.

Check out the rest of the cars, then follow the link in the last panel to place your vote.
