1907 Dragon touring in the Boyertown Museum. 1907 American Tourist in the LeMay Family Museum in Marymount, WA. Craig

1905 Studebaker-Garford in the Crawford Museum in Cleveland.

I've learned to "Never say 'never'." Just when you think you heard it all, another one mysteriously surfaces that's been under the radar. One can thank both the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the rise of the Internet for that. I saw that Aldrich last fall.

I'd like to compare the ride to a Citroen SM. The SM had self-centering steering which was a bonus where the RR crossed diagonally. Craig

As Vicky-Lynn correctly stated in her post above. Here's a loaded Impala in that color:

Pontiac Motor Division called that color "Iris Mist" Craig

Many owners could not comprehend why there was a nearly 50% differential between the front and rear tire pressures. Craig

1932 Studebaker. Appears to be a Commander. Craig

I think GM's last innovation the rest if the industry adopted en masse was the Retained Power System which allowed use of the power windows and audio system for up to 10 minutes, or a door was opened after the vehicle was turned off. I believe Cadillac was the first with it around 1989 or so. Craig

It might be a fully restored show car now!! Any way to prove it? Now I wonder, with all these pages of vintage photos of various cars on this thread, especially of ones that still survive, are some of these photos maybe never seen before, and are now 'new evidence' or further proof of their car's heritage? Craig

The effects of it were still being felt 70 years later: Craig

If the Tatra V8 was sold here, I would have loved to have heard his review of them. They were worse than Corvair for rear-end weight bias, extremely tail-heavy, and very prone to the driver losing control of it on the road. Corvair became an interesting niche-market car with the 1965 models. A sedan wasn't even available; only hardtops and convertibles. Craig

The trunklid itself does appear to be of wood construction. I never saw the owner around it while I was there, and was unable to inquire further on it. Craig

Here was a Packard seen at the annual meet in South Bend in 2007.

It would probably be sold here as a Saturn Astra if that brand still existed, and PSA, who purchased Opel from GM agreed to it. Craig

An early 'third brake light'. Craig

I had a customer who owned a 1986 GMC or Chevrolet half-ton, also with a column shift. As I recall, it wasn't even the base trim model, either. Craig

Yes he did attack the Beetle in one or two sentences in later chapters in his 'Unsafe At Any Speed'. As a result, the 1968 Beetle was the first VW in a long time one could tell what year it was a block away. The Corvair consisted of only one chapter. Craig

It appears Middleby also used wood frame rails: Craig

There is a restored Middleby in the Boyertown Museum in PA.

That is a very nice Imperial. Going by the photos, you have an equally desirable 8-passenger sedan; not the limousine with the plain black leather front seat, and divider window behind the front seat. Craig

I like how American Model T collectors prefer the Canadian fordor Ford Tourings with four opening doors over the US 'faux-dor' three-door tourings, with the stamped outline of a door opening. A lot of Canadian producion Model T's were RHD, making the opposite door operational a necessity. Craig

Does also apply to Canadian production Model T's? Craig

With very few exceptions, column shifting became an industry standard for the 1939, just as sealed beam headlights did for the next year, 1940. Prior to 1939, Studebaker had their 'Miracle Shift' vacuum-operated transmission, with the control mounted on the dash: Picture of a horn button for 1938 Commander? - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum Craig
