Pretty cars!
While I do like the look of a lowered suspension on those old beauties, seeing them squat on the ground when at rest is not a turn-on for me. I’ve never understood the appeal of that feature.

My first car was a 1940 Ford coupe, that I bought in 1953. It was in great shape and low milage for only $250 that I earned working in a grocery store after school! 🙂

All of the cars sport sunshades which to my recollection came into widespread use in 1946 as a dealer add-on profit item during the war caused auto shortage. Their use faded by the early 50's. The beautiful metal-pastel colors did not exist in the 30's. Sunfast pastel colors made their appearance in the early 50's.

Great series of the Greatest Generation's "used" cars. My Dad was 19 in 1939 and when we came back from the war he bought a used 1939 Plymouth Coupe, his dream car.
