Wow! That is stunning. Wonder what the price on that beauty is. Looks fully restored.

I took this photo from the second level of the Mullin Museum in Oxnard, CA They are open one to two days per month throughout the year. This is only one of the amazing French Art Deco Autos in the collection. I believe he purchased the base auto (hulk) for $1200 in 1970 and spent years restoring it. I haven't seen one come up for sale. so I would guess that this one at least, is priceless. If you love cars and you're in the area at the right time a visit to this place is a no-brainer.

If only cars today had half the character that cars of yesterday had. Now you have to go read the model on the side or rear to see what kind of a "looks like all the other cars" it is

Thats why the older cars are so desirable, They are not cookie cutter designs.
