[Wild Root]

Ooooooooh, nice stuff guys! Good taste. My taste leans to the American side more though... Especialy the Chrysler stuff!

How about this hottie! A 1932 Chrysler Imperial!

Not a bad looking car... funny, I almost hate to say it but, those rims remind me of those off of a 1980's Corvette for some reason... I guess that’s where they got the design from!

A 1936 Avion Voisin. A bit odd looking but what a power house. Very unique.

Cheers!

Dan, do you think that was the original color?

No, really!....

Maybach

This one's practically the Holy Grail of obscure Golden Era machinery, the Maybach Zeppelin.

 

[The Reno Kid]

Here's another one that looks particularly nice (to me anyway).

1930 Cord L29

This one was technically innovative too. I believe it was the first practical use of front wheel drive.

And here's a shapely stablemate.

1932 Auburn 8-100A

These cars remind me of the ol' Disney cartoons about the cars of the future with Goofy.

There's a good possibility of that Tomasso. These were one off cars built to order, so the possibility of the magenta being an original color is good. This one comes out of the Clive Cussler collection and he prides himself on the historical accuracy of his collections. I've only seen a few others in original condition and they were in very unconventional color schemes, including another 1936 in a vibrant canary yellow and navy blue scheme.

Cheers!
