favorite cars of the golden era

[Benny Holiday]

They need to leave the 30's style alone

Cool car Root! General Motors here recently messed with a 1948-type Holden (Aussie equivalent of Chevy) and came up with this Deco-inspired concept car. I like the general lines of the car, yeah it is a bit hot rod-like in parts but the fact that a major company built this intrigues me. What do you all think?

 

[Brad Bowers]

Raise the roofline a bit and raise the entire car off the ground another half-foot or so, and it looks pretty good! Not bad for a modern treatment of Deco-style.

That car is looking very late 40's... has a very strong post war appeal! I kind of like it but, the wheel needs to be on the other side! lol

=WR=

 

[Benny Holiday]

Ha ha!

I hadn't even noticed that, Root! You're right! I agree with you on those changes too, Brad;
kinda hard to wear a lid with that roofline!

 

[Speedster]

You beat me Benny Holliday...

I have a Power Point presentation of the Holden Efijy concept car, which i have tried to post here but i cannot figure out how to do it. Is it at all possible??

Don't the Australians drive on the left side of the road -- like the Brits do? That would explain the steering wheel's placement.

How about the futuristic Phantom in 1938?

Yes, they do but, if I were to buy one, the wheel would need to be on the left and not on the right.

Yes, i really like the Phantom 1938! Slick Trick it be!

Plenty of people adjust to driving a car with the driver on the 'wrong' side....for whatever location they are in.....old english cars over here...and lots of military guys have their american cars in England, I remember having them drive through town...

Wow.

But I think I'd like a Mercedes 770-K, in black. Plus driver, of course...

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Is that first thing a car or a crustacean?

It does resemble a trilobite.

[Marc Chevalier]

Right!

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

It looks like something Lex Luthor would drive.

Hmmm...

Bald head: check.
Facial scarring: check.
Decent wardrobe: check.

I think I'm close enough to Luthor & Blofeld for this. I'll take it!

A minion can put the Benz away...

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

With that car, I think you'd need a monocle to complete the look. Actually, with that car or the 770K.
