CBoz Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I know I'm not the only one that feels Classic four-door cars don't get anywhere near the respect in the marketplace that they should. What are your favorites? I wave the flag for Lincoln, so here is one of mine, the 1938 Sport Sedan by Willoughby (photo from a Lincoln book of models and suggested color / interior schemes): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 I don't think this car is underappreciated (and rightly so): 1936 V-16 Cadillac sedan, still in the original family. I had a chance to be a passenger a few weeks back. Just an extraordinary car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinmass -- Wow, that car embraces the length of the sedan beautifully.

CBoz Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) K8096 got me thinking about Stutz. Another beautiful close-coupled sedan (I think that is the correct terminology?)

trimacar Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I tried to buy that one too....at the time of sale was missing engine, hood, radiator and shell, since found and reinstalled. Even though it was incomplete and across country, I made an offer which was rejected.....oh well, can't kiss all the girls....but what a great body style...

alsancle Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 We always regret the misses and not the mistakes. The blue car sold at BJ 10 years ago for about 1/3 of what it would cost to restore. That would probably have been the one to get. I think it would do much better now.

trimacar Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was touring along with the blue car and current owners a couple of weeks ago, beautiful car.....very nice older restoration, think was sold at auction by Tom Crook to Don Williams at (as you mention) very reasonable price, then price went up a little to current owners! It's in a nice home now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 When Tom had it I think he wanted 125K? I'm sure Don jacked that price a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SaddleRider Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Count me in on liking closed cars! When I was about to turn 16, I fell in love with a pre-war Formal Sedan ( 1955) . Bought it cause I liked it. Paid twenty five bucks for it ( which was probably too much as its battery and tires were getting shaggy ). Well..let's be fair..multiply that twenty five bucks by about 17 to its equiv. in purchasing power of today's de-valued money...!). I have some photos of it - will post in here if someone will tell me how to do that. Buy the way..i cant honestly say it is still my "daily" driver ( Packard didn't offer "factory" air conditioning until the introduction of the 1940 models in the fall of 1939)..... So I can say it is my "weekly driver"....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
