Joe, please don't betray your older friend and wife. Keep and enjoy your wonderful convertible.

Yes, not a factory power brake unit. Has radio head on the dash, but no speaker on the firewall from what I can see. Accessory clock mounted on the glove box. I.M.O. 1934 where the only real Airflow with the chrome art deco waterfall grille and the true Airflow look. 1935 grilles remind me of a 35 Ford with the painted black grille. Boring. After 1934 they cut back on style. 34 had the 3 tier tri-plane bumpers rather than the one piece slab. The hood ornament and wing ornaments on the fender skirts not as much fancy detail in 35. No stainless trim on the fender skirts as in 1934. The 3 hood vents on each side of the front quarter on each side in 34 much neater than the boring single strip vents of 35. I think this car is a very nice car. 1935 much better looking than the 36 or 37's when they added trunks with access from the outside & removed the spare on the back which is neat. All the coupes from every year with the fast back styling are very nice and the best looking. It appears Chrysler stole the fastback styling from the 1933 Cadillac Fast Back Aero-Dynamic Coupe shown a year before at the Chicago Worlds Fair, Century of Progress 1933 with the same bumpers and fastback design that Chrysler copied. The thing that would have helped the Airflow if it only had front coil springs like some GM cars at the time. Much better handling and easier steering than the Airflow. Really would have made a difference. After all that. Still a nice car

Thanks Steve, it was 17 long hours since the last picture was posted until yours now!!! The 1928-1934 pics of American Classic's are the Best IMO

Walt, love the picture of the Packard roadster with the rumble seat windshield. I am looking for a top boot as shown in the picture any condition for my survivor Packard roadster. I believe 3rd thru 6th series are the same 6 or 8 cylinder Packards 1926-1929. If anyone has one, please get in touch with me. Thanks, Jim Fredrick🛑

Pre WWII real photo's much better than magazine ad's I.M.O.

Thanks John M !!!!! You are the 100 Page Man. You'll get your pie in the sky😀 when you die.

Up Date on Miss Crabtree. The car is a 1929 Chrysler Model 75 Roadster. It was in the short, "Teachers Pet". John, if you google it you should be able to find more pics of the car from the side view. It has the narrow chrome radiator used on the 29,30 Chryslers. June Marlowe June Marlowe (born Gisela Valaria Goetten, November 6, 1903 – March 10, 1984) was an American film actress who began her career during the silent film era. She was best known for her performance of "Miss Crabtree" in the Our Gang shorts

Matt, I think Miss Crabtree is driving a Chrysler. 1930??

Any Packard Auto Show Car Pics Doozer??? During the teens, 1920's and 1930's in St.Paul Minnesota the auto show was held at times at the Willy's Overland Building. The building still stands on the border between St.Paul & Minneapolis Minnesota on University Ave. It was taken over in later years by International Harvester and is now office/warehouse space I believe.

Doozer, thanks for posting these wondeful pics!!!! Any Packard cars? Thanks again Walt for starting this thread and John M posting everyday!!! Jim

John M....... You posted a photo of a 1936 ? Judkins V windshield? Lincoln in front of a very fancy building. Its the photo's that has a caption "The Henry Ford". Any more info on this car or its location? Thanks, Jim

Listed in the wrong section. Has nothing to do with Airflow's. Please remove.

Hi Guys, anyone have any pictures of the Chrysler Display at the 1933-34 Chicago Worlds Fair? Really looking for some interior shots of the building. Also, more interested in the 34 Chrysler Display featuring Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow cars. Also, any pics from the GM building featuring 34 LaSalle's. Thanks to everyone who has posted "period" Pre WWII pics !!!! Jim Fredrick in Minn.

You can clearly see how 1934 Chrysler Airflow designers copied the bumpers and the fast back coupe design from this car in 1933 at the Century of Progress in Chicago 1933

Still Searching

Still Looking. Keep your eyes open!!! Thanks!!!

GregLaR…….I believe the pretty girl with golf clubs & the 1932 Packard Conv.Coupe (Super 8, or 12?) is actress Madge Evans

Thanks to everyone for your lead's and advise.

Back in the teens, 20's and 30's some cars came with Red fan belts and Radiator Hoses. Has anyone ever tried to take a modern black fan belt and radiator hoses and dye them Red with any success? Or some other way to change the color from black to red. Thanks, Jim

Matt, what type of pump and heater are you using with your set up? Thanks, Jim

Still Looking. Any Leads??? Thanks

My Packard 8 roadster is all original and nice survivor. Ideal I would like to find someone who is replacing their original top and top boot. So if anyone has a original 2nd thru 6th series 1926-1929 (6 or 8 cylinder Packard) top boot, I would be interested in buying it. Also, if anyone is replacing original tan canvas top material from any high end car from the 1920's 1930's I would also be interested in buying that old material. Material from a touring car might be better for doing my roadster top. That way I would have enough material for the Packard roadster top. Any leads appreciated. Maybe some restoration shop might have old top material from a job they are working on? Thanks, Jim

B.T.T.T.

Thanks for the reply's. Is Mouton an uneven cut and long and lays flat in many directions rather than like a "crewcut" fine dense wool carpet that was use in the high end closed cars of the 1930's
