Well if you're gonna donate money at least there should be a chance of getting something back for it.Again this is why I own a Cordoba.

Nothing wrong with that rich Corinthian leather

Like I said on an earlier post no rich Corinthian leather until I change interiors next year,and I think they outlawed the killing of Naughes for their Hydes anymore.

Yea don't see how anybody can't like that dropped "lead sled" look,that year convertible not so much but that's only my opinion,real nice iron

Just not so low that the car is below the scrub line of the tyre.

Things can get fairly lively if you get a flat at speed.

1931 Ford Model A Panel Truck

I think that's where the hydraulics come into play,adjust for regular driving and adjust for lookin cool at parade cruisin?

Had a chance to buy a car at a show few months back...
(Not the actual car I looked at, just a photo for reference)

1934 Ford Model 40 Sedan
The man wanted $1,900 for it, but dropped it to $1,500 when he found out how much I love the old cars... the interior would need complete refurbishing due to cat-damage, but it seemed to run! Sad to say, no $$$ even at that discount, I nearly cried when I got home. (for the "steal-of-a-deal", not because of -$) lol.
If I ever came into a situation where money was no object, i still really like the old 1939 Bugatti Type 57C "Van Vooren" Cabriolet given as a wedding present to the Shah of Iran in 1939...

Oh, the stuff dreams are made of...
And who could forget the 22x9 car made by “Car Babies” (using an adapted Land Rover chassis and a Rover V8 engine) featured in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?!

I know I know, now I'm running on the fringe of history... but how many cars were designed back then that aren't around now?! I'm sure SOMEWHERE someone built a car that MAY have been similar.... and given the opportunity, I'd want it.

This portrait called: TAXI, by artist Graham Fairhurst, is so evocative of the era. I love it.

 

[CliffG]

The humble Volkswagen Beetle is my favorite.

The 1933 Packard Twelve is a favorite, I have fond memories of driving one when I was a kid. I've always wanted a Checker Model A2/A3/A4, I've always thought they were neat.

Is this a Tatra?

Is this a Tatra?

It reminds me of The Austin A90 Atlantic.

 

[David Conwill]

It is a Tatra and you can definitely see a similar design school in the Austin. The European version of the inverted bathtub that everyone in the 1940s thought was the wave of the future.

This is also a Tatra, and I know which model I prefer:
