Some of My Favorite Cars

The classic era of American automobile design began in the 1920s and lasted through the late 1930s. Here are some of my favorites:

1927 Kissel 8-75 Speedster


1929 Jordan Speedboy G


1929 Duesenberg J 350 Willoughby


1930 Pierce Arrow Roadster


1932 Cadillac 355B Sport Phaeton


1932 Pierce Arrow Model 54 7-Passenger Touring Car


1934 Packard Eleventh Series Eight 1101 Convertible Sedan

1935 Auburn 8-851 Cabriolet


1937 Cord Model 812C Phaeton


1938 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Coupe

Many collections of classic-car photos and specs are available online. Conceptcarz.com is the best that I have found. The collection there spans the late 1800s to the present. See also the excellent Crawford Collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
