I love cars from the late 30s and 40s. To me, the golden age of automobiles went from the late 30s to the early 1970s. But I particularly like the cars of around 1940 for their style, like the 1938 Plymouth Business Coupe driven by Humphrey Bogart in my favorite movie, The Big Sleep. While I tend to prefer European autos, I love the style of American cars of that era, like this 1940 Plymouth Business Coupe. There was imagination and great elegance at work in the design of cars of this vintage, as there was with everything else in this period, from clothes to architecture..

Always like seeing the Mustangs in a family/herd setting. Very snazzy "rubbernose" MGB, but why do folks leave 'em jacked up? It was only done to get the headlight height up to spec for USDOT, and it messes up the suspension geometry.

If you are lucky in old age your marriage survives and you get a few toys:

It was ok until I really started to drive it and I got the message "shift denied." It was a down shift not a transmission buster.

A little lame. All of the sudden I was reminded I was driving a computer. It felt like windows 7 was operating the car.

Mine was Baby Blue, but I had it repainted British Racing Green.
It had the knock off hubs.
A rubber mallet came in the boot.
Way cool.

I loved that car.
