Walt G Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 WOW. Most interesting to see the grille guard on the Packard convertibe victoria. I have the same one fitted to my 1930 series 733 touring car. I found mine at Hershey about 3 or 4 years before I bought the car I own ( in 2016) and bought it just because in my estimation it is so beautiful ( cast bronze frame with brass rods for the vertical bars - it was made in New York City) My personal view is that it looks so much better then the mesh style stone guard ( most restored cars have ) which due to its design stops the flow of your eye . These bar grill guards , compliment the design and style of the shell and hood sides . The cast bronze frame and brass bar construction is not a light weight accessory! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is soft in composition too, not cast out of brass or bronze. As the notable 1930s fashion celebrity model Betty Boop would state" boop boop a doop'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Yes, and that hot spot reflection from the chrome metal sidemount cover made improving the image even this well difficult. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Harley Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 On 10/17/2020 at 1:07 PM, John_Mereness said: This is the first time I have seen a Model-A Ford "from back in the day" with a side mount and a rear spare too. I've seen more then a couple of restored A's set up like this. I think it is kind'a goofy looking. The only other time I've seen a set-up like this was a picture of a big late teens, early 20's speedster type car. The car was sitting in a ditch, it must have run off the road, and had twin side mounts and double rear spares! I believe the wheels were wooden spoke with de-mountable rims. I know tire rubber wasn't that good of quality back then. So the owner of the car I guess did not like the idea of splitting rims/changing tubes beside the road when he/she had a flat. Capt.

1937hd45 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 ^^^^^ Thanks for pointing out the side mount, I overlooked it. The rear spare is a good thing to push on as the young lady is demonstrating, use your legs, the heals give good traction on dirt. Bobb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Friederich Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Strange looking late model Ford phaeton, probably European coachbuilt. Front end as 1937 US Ford, but suicide front door. Doors are also smaller than normal as they doesn't reach down to the running boards. Notice also whitewall tires! Standing in car is Éduard Daladier, Prime Minister in France at the outbreak of WWII.

That' a tuff call as Loening merged with Keystone and the plane was known as the Keyston XO2L but may have been built by Loening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) The shot of the Bugatti is the only one of both a skier and a power-sliding race car I've ever seen. I know Romania had a GP race...did Norway ever have a Grand Prix? Wherever this is - not a lot of creature comforts in the Type 35 Bugatti!
