Swoop and Swoosh

Something completey different today, what can I say, I’m moody and like a very wide range of cars. I find as I get older I’m begining to have a deeper appreciation for pre WW2 cars. They’ve been pushed out of the spotlight in the last 5 or 10 years since Barrett-Jackson’s hype machine has driven muscle car prices to stratospheric new heights. As I take a closer look at them with a fresh perspective I realize that the era of the truly grand and decadent automotive styling is long gone for good. Yes there are plenty of amazing new concept and super cars out there, but there’s something about boat tails, pontoon fenders, and art deco grills that just drip extravagance and grace.

One of my favs is the 1936-1942 Lincoln Zephyr, this one has obviously been custom massaged into a work of art, but the essence of the original Zephyr remains.

But for me the all time king is the 1930 Mercedes Count Trossi SSK
