Here's the first 7 of some pics I ran into. I think the cars are consummately beautiful objects and are reminiscent of an opulent and creative era never to be seen again..

Apologies if they have been posted or you have already seen these wonderful creations. I will post more if these are well received.

1921 Farman A6B




1922 Marmon 34B Speedster



1933 Hispani Siuza J12 Deletren Freres Cabriolet



1930 Isotta Fraschini 87 SS Torpedo Sport



1932 REO Royal Convertible Coupe



1930 Ruxton Model C Rauchamp Lang Roadster




And the achingly beautiful 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Court Falaschi Coupe

You're right they just don't make them like this anymore....stunning coach work and who was it that said "the lines on that car are positively indecent." This statement applies to many of those shown. Love em!!

And for that encouraging statement Jimmy P, you get more!

Into the '40's now, although there's a bit of a gap. Can't understand it!
