Stars And Their Cars

[V.C. Brunswick]

Unfortunately this is the closest I'll ever come to owning a '37 Cord.
lol

And this version in of itself is highly prized by collectors. :eusa_doh:

Absolutely amazing car the Cord!!!!!:eusa_clap

"Cord's magnetic draw upon the celebrity world was obvious. Movie stars and public figures galore owned them"

Am I beating a :deadhorse with the Cord ???

Anyway.... The TOPPER Car, 1937 was a thread started in 2005 by Marc Chevalier ... (yes, let's face it, everything that is worth posting has already been post [huh] that's how it is ladies and gents), and here are some new pictures ( new? I hopelol) of that car.


The Topper/Cord car is based on a Buick, that's what the experts say! search me.

I like Jimmy Dean's Porsche 356 Speedster. This is not the car he died in but he did use it for racing. I read that he had a stationwagon as his every day car.

I’ve seen at least one picture of him getting out of a ‘55 Chevy sedan. But I do seem to recall reading that a famous hot rodder (just whom escapes me right now - Gene Winfield, maybe?) was following him to the track the day he died, and he may have been driving a wagon.

As far as I'm concerned...she look great riding it from either direction!

 

[Tomasso]

That ain't a car ...............but somehow I don't really care...........

 

[Shangas]

And Ginger Rogers (not sure what make car)

Is it possible to I.D. the car based on the hood ornament? Looks like some kind of big cat...

 

[lolly_loisides]

Weren't hood ornaments a fashion during the 20's & 30's? I don't think they indicated the make of the vehicle. I know Lalique manufactured glass hood ornaments & I've seen Disney hood ornaments (of Mickey Mouse) valued on Antiques Roadshow.

 

[Tomasso]

Is it possible to I.D. the car based on the hood ornament?

Probably if you're a car geek. But it's a 1937 Dodge.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Good point Lolly.
Great pic btw.

 

[David Conwill]

Probably if you're a car geek. But it's a 1937 Dodge.

The "big cat" is a charging ram. I must admit, though, I couldn't make it out until Tomasso identified it as a Dodge. I was looking for a Mayflower.

[Gregg Axley]

Must have been a new car, now that I look at the pic again.
Her reflection can clearly be seen in the door. Very nice...

Maybe she's practising some kind of Judo or Karate move.
