Ohhhh my first post out side the powder room I think! Yesterday I purchased a 1949 Morris Oxford!!!! I know it isn't perhaps as beautiful as some of the ones I've seen in this thread but it is MINE bwhahahaha!
Currently in a state of dis-repair my chap and I will restore it to its formor glory. He restores vintage tractors and trucks so showing me how to rebuild the tiny motor should be a breeze! And as for the body work he says if I do all the sanding and bogging he will re-spray it for me...he is a good man with just as much passion for vintage 'stuff' as me (maybe more lol)

'51 or '52 Packard (I used to own a '51, so I might be biased, but they're great cars and good drivers). Especially if I can get one in purple - sorry, "amethyst."

Or a '40 or '41 Packard Darrin convertible. Those things are gorgeous. (And so is the price tag, unfortunately.)

Oh heck, just give me a Packard (anything but the bathtub years or the Packardbakers) and I'll be a happy gal.

Seems you and I have similar taste in Packards. I’ve especially never understood the disdain people seem to feel for the ‘51 to ‘54 models. They’re conservatively styled, yes, and somewhat downmarket from their pre-war ancestors, but they are still good-looking and high-quality automobiles with far more style than a Buick, Lincoln, or Chrysler of today.

-Dave (who almost bought a ‘51 or ‘52 when he was hunting for his current car)

There seems to be a small but vocal minority in the Packard Club who appreciate the early 50s models. Not nearly as many as go for the 30s or 40s, of course, but I tell myself that means more chance for us to acquire the cars we want.

Oh, and I love "all hat, no Packard!"

Possibly not everyone's choice of a "Golden Era" car, but still easily worthy of a mention, in any car related discussion. A 1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster, here at Goodwood Revival, in 2009.

Love the woodwork on a Chrysler Town and Country. The convertible in the background would be even nicer.

Although I don't know what make car this is, I really like its "passengers".
