Ed:

Oh, that diverse assortment shows up everywhere...those Auburn Speedsters, Duponts, Duesenberg J's, Chrysler Custom Imperials, Allards, Cobras...just a dime-a-dozen!  Did you drive the Great White to show them something really rare?

Similarly, just about all of those makes are owned 

by members of our own AACA Region, or have shown

up at our local show:  2 Tuckers, a Dupont, a Duesenberg,

a Marmon V-16, several 1931-33 Imperials, an all-orignal AC Cobra.

I don't remember an Auburn Speedster or an Allard, though.

 

But remember, never covet, or be impressed simply by money.

I'd rather see something like a 1978-80 fastback Cutlass Salon:

 

1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Isn't that just one step up from Kessler's ? 🤔

 

Your taste in cars appears impeccable, but whiskey preference OTOH... 🙄

Please take into account, I’m a poor low class Frenchman from Gaspe,Canada.

Salon seldom seen, even among hardcore Olds people.

 

All Salons are seldom seen but the buttless Cutlass version especially didn't sell well new, much less survive in any appreciable numbers.

 

Yet now I can look at it and see it was a decently styled car, especially for its times. Weirdly angled or not, at least it ain't shaped like a jellybean or worn out bar of soap. It would probably have worked better with a 76-77 Cutlass S style sloped front end. Might have been a little more coherent!🙃

Dang, some fabulous cars.  Love the DuPont.  And the Speedster, and the Duesenberg, and the DB4 (sorry Ed, some post-war cars are cool, too....)


 

Post War........🤔

Ed, I've heard from others on this forum that there

aren't many pre-war cars that get to activities in

Florida.  Are you in a pre-war haven of some sort,

or is it just that a few affluent residents like Classics?

Are there plenty of pre-war Buicks, Hupmobiles,

and so on, and a good sampling of Haynes cars,

Maxwells, EMF's, curved-dash Oldsmobiles, and the like?

 

Near me, it's not that the area is affluent;  it's that

there are thousands of antique cars, and plenty of

pre-war cars too.  Some of our members with

now-expensive pre-war cars have had them for decades.
