Nice choice , love it suit me fine too 😀

Nash metropolitan, cool car , wife loves them getting my own back 😄

Are you calling a singer gazelle a decent car I think question answer is depends what you have owned prior to ownership, in my case old rust heaps so without question was my first decent car. The reference to my friends mother had one are you saying it an old woman’s car ?😁

Apologies but hoping I can download photos unfortunately not says only allowed 9.77 mg wonder if Walt or John like the Buick , I certainly did . advice please

Often take trips out now after 3 months in lockdown and driving past a fruit farm saw rows of classic car in one of the fields , so turned round and investigated , apparently a gathering of some of the local classic car clubs . Morris minor club, mgb club , vintage club , fire engine club and American and miscellaneous. as my favourite is American I headed towards them , apologies only photographed my favourite 1950 Pontiac convertible , immaculate car but walking past the miscellaneous group to my amazement sat side by side were the car my father taught me to drive in when I was 14 ( Vauxhall’ velox)and the first decent car I owned in the same colour combo , blue / cream( singer gazelle) that’s a spooky coincidence, I enjoyed seeing them but made me feel older seeing cars from my younger days that are now termed classic . pretty windy cool day so only photographed a few that took my interest , One is obvious, and couple more would sit well in amazing period image thread on this forum . Will only let me download one photo per topic , trying to sort , so more to follow

I haven’t seen in photos or on survivors , so were they not popular , bit garish for most tastes I presume

Smart car and very realistic price , would be coming to look if circumstances were different . but sure wont be available long

You started something Walt , that I depend on , it’s my daily catch up , when I sit in bed at night , I peruse and study the latest additions and skip back into a time of class. , elegance , beautiful amazing automobiles, great photography catching interesting glimpses of a time perhaps many of us would love to have experienced after following this thread. once again thanks to you and all the posters, particularly to John for his huge contribution, it’s a great unique collection of images.

My father had a 30s Armstrong siddeley in the late 50 s not large as above I remember, but I did travel in a few as were popular wedding and funeral cars in 50s and 60s

That’s it many thanks

Although I love the prewar delahaye , I could never afford one but have recently been looking at 65 Renault caravelle , love the south of France ambiance of it also love Citroen DS , cool car

What happened to the promised photos , I think posting and seeking information is a reciprocal commitment and very interesting and satisfying when all parties comply .

Thanks for information, surprisingly high numbers exported , the dealerships in those countries appear to have been more successful in those days at selling American cars than today , can only speak for what I see in Uk rarely see a new American car ., although I like many , thunderbird , corvette ,ford 4x4 pick up dual cab , caddy also looks good .i

We had the same buses in Southampton , I went to school on them , you could run and jump on or off as the rear platform was open , much to the conductors annoyance 😊

Started watching a series called Manhattan on amazon prime yesterday , probably shown in States few years back, quite good and interesting as like WW2 drama , but what caught my attention was the numerous period cars 30s and 40s , coupes , sedans etc , recognising a few but not good at a glance, but will keep trying as series progresses . Wonder if any members cars were used in filming. cheers pilgrim

Thanks , rare or common survivor? Where they built RHD or possible conversion at some time ? yes not bad shape , interior good but doubt original , will take further photo in a day or to cheers

visited my local garage today and was surprised to find this pre war car , twenties I would think , badge says Essex , looked under bonnet 6 cylinders anyone recognise or know anything about it ? Rhd so may be British but interested to know more cheers pilgrim

Love the Art Deco ad above for wheels , woman on back of car , classic deco artwork. Cheers

Pretty ugly , with the enclosed wheel arches , reminds me of a woodlice

amazing , didn’t check on thread for a couple of days and wow !! Another 5 pages of great images , thanks guys I’m hooked .

Agreed, Hood ornament , nice, worth a few bucks

Was my family’s first car a 1932 , the same but not ours till 1953, remember long journeys to London to visit my fathers family and a camping holiday with it in Cornwall in a bell tent . ( south west England) great little car , fond memories

Cool car , but think seat treatment, not right, looks a bit brass era . Also studebaker must have liked that bright yellow as looks the same as a 55 , ie 7 years later which I really liked , it was posted on here in the last week or so.

1928 , Interesting, Bournemouth, live nearby , didn’t know, was the event nationally or internationally known , and were the entrants just British based or Europe and America too.
