Good pics. I love the cars from the late 30s into the late 40s. They had great designs.
Thanks for stopping by.
You're right about the designs. No govt. BS to fool with.

It's a beautiful car. I'd say perhaps the answer to the door problem is to have a passenger hang on to it!
That ought to work, Kathy. You would, of course, never get anyone to ride with you but once.

Beautiful automobile nicely shot Tom
The "custom built" prewar Cars certainly had elegance or maybe presence is a better word. Handmade coachwork on production chassis were not uncommon. Bodies by Darrin, Graber, etc. allowed the monied elite to express their individually and wealth in a tasteful way

You summed it up very well there, Jack. It was an age of copious and conspicuous indulgence by the wealthy. Those days mostly disappeared during the war and, generally, never really came back on such a broad scale.

Tom, if you ever, EVER get near the Fort Wayne area of Indiana, you will be a jog away from the Auburn-Cord-Deusenberg museum. If you love cars like you have pictured here, you would definitely be in heaven with palpitations upon entering this museum. There, you would see dozens of the stars of the show from those three marques, but also machines designed and built by many companies you have never heard of. But the vehicles are guaranteed by me to take your breath away. Really a mind-blowing experience of a lifetime!!! Done the right way, by taking the time to read and take shots, four hours there would furnish you with a ton of photographic memories of automotive masterpieces of design 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Thanks for this response, Joe. Several years ago on a different forum. I met a guy who lives close to that museum. He, in fact, is a volunteer worker for them ....helping them stage special events, etc., etc. He's always telling me that I need to visit him, that I'll get an insiders look at everything they have and how they operate.
I told my wife this morning that I have put off a trip up there for too long. I'll fly up, spend 2 or 3 days. You lit a fire under my butt, Joe, and I thank you for that.
