Wow.. thanks for posting!
We will never see cars like that again. Now they all look nearly the same except for the logo. I’m not a car guy but that even makes me sad.
Many of those old cars are self propelled works of art.
Beautiful works or rolling art. Nowadays I’m excited to see any old classic car in good restored condition, even a mundane Ford Falcon or Plymouth looks exotic and stylish compared with todays look-alike people carriers.

Wonderful cars! You made me break a commandment (the “thou shalt not covet” one).
Car porn ping!
Talk about elegant lines...
The Pebble Beach show was on yesterday. Some amazing vehicles.

Erich von Stroheim, the valet/chauffeur/ex-husband in the film couldn't drive. They trailered the car onto the film studio lot so they could get footage of von Stroheim at the wheel the car in a controlled environment and he crashed it anyway.

It was really nice to see so many pre-war European cars. The Voisin is a very rare French car that was on par with the Dusenburg. There are very few Voisins left, they were very beautiful and very fast for a car made in the 30s.

What I love about these cars is that the represent a period when anything was possible. The height of the Classic Car was the early 1930s — just as the world turned Left and into ruin.
There’s no irony in that, just sad.
