Prewar folks how do you mentally catagorize this period? For me it's just a way to think about certain cars:

Brass & Nickel, highwheels maybe as well.

Classic

Early Ford
- T and earlier
- model A
- early V8

Non-Ford
-Non-Classic "Big3" variants

Independents

Foreign with early MG it's own class (I guess because I like them)

Junior Packards (same logic as with MG but also a popular car some sr. Folks embrace, others don't. But well supported and interesting in their own right)

Traditional hot rods

Speedsters

I like most anything from the era but I am curious how others might bucket these cars, why or why not.

So true. And now I'm seeing more 'earth tones' like sand, stone, concrete, trail dust (Toyota) and other boring safe colors.

Very rare 1932 Hupmobile I226 Coupe for sale. @Hupp31 can verify the known cars but I think there might only be 3. These "cycle fendered" Hupps have been an interest of mine for decades since I saw a unrestored Victoria for sale in the Choclate field 25 years ago.

I would have put this in the marketplace and linked it but this was a facebook post to the Hupp Cars fro sale group by. Chad Thomas owned and has passed. His wife is selling it. Chad posted once in a while on the AACA and if I remember correclty had a very cool Nash.

There is no price. More pictures in the replies.

Getting the 8 Liter Bentley ready for the Bentley Tour in upstate New York. Will I see you there?

Feast your eyes on this 2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo. One of just 20 cars built with the Evo package, this thing is absolutely insane. It makes over 1,000 horsepower from its hybrid V12 setup. A very special Ferrari.

It’s not often that I get to play with older cars in my collision shop. Had some fun with this 30’s Buick frame a while back. Apparently had been wrecked long ago, leaving a bit of a diamond in the frame. Had to break out ye olde centerline gauges to check it out. It took a LOT of pressure to get the tweak out of that thing. Four of us had all we could do to move it from the trailer to the frame machine and back.

This is my 1931 Pierce Arrow Model 42 Dual Cowl Pheton, the photo was taken in 1938. The car has been in our family since 1971. One of five known. 385 CID, 142 inch chassis.

Factory photo of the Cunningham factory in West Palm Beach Florida. Fantastic automobiles. I drive by the building to get to work every day. Until recently, it was totally unaltered and was still in the car manufacturing layout. Recently, it has become a 75 seat hair salon. Such is the fate of history. Always liked these cars.

Who doesn’t like big brass cars? I think I’ve only ever seen one Winton in person. I know very little about them but I acquired this great collection of Winton photos and sure wish I had one now. If anyone has any knowledge on the cars, please chime in.
