As a matter of interest I noticed that the 1932 Packard 900 Light Eight Coupe Roadster in part 2 has Woodlites, and today’s 1929 Cord L-29 Cabriolet doesn’t:

For quite a few years, based on photos I’d seen, I thought that all Cord L-29s and all Ruxtons had Woodlites and no other cars did. At some point in the last few years I learned that this wasn’t so.
Wow, you forget how striking the Cord L-29 was (and is). And I can only imagine the impact of the Cord 810 when it was first seen.
Those classic-era Chrysler Imperials were beautiful cars! I was thinking to myself that Packard and Pierce were about the only representatives of that class (Duesenberg was a whole ‘nuther thing) and here comes this Chrysler. It is interesting how there were no senior Lincolns or Cadillacs in the parade – at least thus far.
The 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa Pinin Farina Coupe reminds me of one of the Ghia Chryslers from the same period. Same country, different studio. I wonder how much of the Chryslers was Exner and how much Ghia?
Very beautiful, but some of those cars just look wrong going slow.
Allard needs to be powersliding through a corner with front wheels pointed in different directions, and the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Pininfarina Berlinetta Speciale needs to be on a high speed coffee run from Paris to Nice.
Thanks for sharing these lovelies!
What an amazing experience, to have seen, and heard, all of these vehicles, on the move!
If the only car that appeared was the 1931 Duesenberg J Weymann Tapertail Speedster, that would be enough for me. I’ve only had the pleasure to lay eyes on it briefly thirty years ago at Fall Hershey. It is more stunning in person than one can imagine.
