This is a 1939 Buick Series 80, more commonly known as a Roadmaster. Just the name tells you something about this car. It’s big. It’s quiet. It’s the king of the road. This one had later model emblems, modern wire wheels, and radial tires, indicating that it may have had a bit of a resto-mod treatment. It’s a classy car, though, especially with that Art-Deco waterfall grille. This is the way to arrive at a car cruise in style.
From the same era, and nice in its own right, is this ’41 Chevy coupe. This was a really straight car, with good upholstery and some desirable accessories. You just gotta love all that chrome and Bakelite on the dashboard. The inline Stovebolt six was good for about 90-hp on one of these, and it would have been about $750 brand new. If they were as nice as this, I’d buy every one I could get my hands on for 750-bucks now!
This ’63 Falcon Futura was pretty neat. It was all black with a red stripe, and had some mods like polished Torque Thrust wheels and Thrush side pipes. Of course, the Falcon was the basis for the Mustang, but they were interesting in their own right. Unlike the Mustang, they look like a small version of the full-sized Fairlane, top and all. And that’s not a bad thing. I especially like the interior with the floor shift, bucket seats, and chrome-drenched center console.

Gotta love that Chevelle 300 too ; dont see many of those anymore. Actually, didnt see many even bitd!
ReplyDeleteThat Chevelle 300 is a nice car. Mostly original, including the interior, although it does have a big block in it now. Everything was put together very well, though.
