I have to get away from politics if even for a little while. What's happened has disgusted me to no end and my blood pressure can't take it.
To that end, let's post pics of the coolest looking cars of the 40's, any nation, and see what happens.
I don’t have a pic. Well I do but it’s black and white and not scanned. My parents had a “meadow green” Chrysler convertible. I think it was a 46. Most cars were black.
That looks like fun.
Heh..an accident waiting to happen..
The thread is over.
“Look casual...”
Well I guess I cannot post MY car. In college in the late 1960s - early 1979s I had a 1954 Plymouth Savoy. Didn’t have power anything. Drove like a tank. Was green. To this day you can ask my high school and college friends what my car’s name was and everyone says WATERMELON! Cars had nicknames back then. My friend had a 1940s orange and light brown car, I think a Chevy, and its name was Punkin Eater. Oh those were the days. Small pox was still being vaccinated against until 1974. Didn’t get a polio vac until 1963. Didn’t have AC cool or heat, in Okla, Tulsa area. Summers were 100s, winters closer to 0. Probably teens and 20s. We were tougher back then. Didn’t need welfare....
I remember those days. My mom used to ask me, at about 8 years old, how I could know who made what car.
I told her, mom it’s the grill..She’d be shocked nowadays when everything looks the same with logos I don’t recognize.
Back when cars were cars..
Excellent.
I want..that’s a nice car..

Looked something like that. I still miss him, Watermelon. What a car! No seat belts. Full front seat and full back seat. Big trunk. I loved that car.
