The early 20'th Century and especially the Mid Teen's, 30's and
early 40's produced some of the most beautiful cars ever built.
  The economic depression of this period cause fierce competition to
 give the few that could still afford one of these cars, the most
beautiful automobile that could be manufactured.
An example is the Duesenberg SJ that was built to satisfy
the tastes of the Hollywood market.
   It was a phenomenal creation weighing two and a half tones and used
a supercharged 7 liter twin overhear camshaft straight eight engine
that could propel the car at more then 160 miles per hour
an unheard of speed at that time.
It like many of the other manfacturesof that period fell by the wayside
but some are still with us today.
Although some of these cars continued into the 1940's you will
see that by the end of the depression most of them lost their
charm and became just another car.

The following is a series of CONVERTIBLES from this period.

This page covers from 1932 to 1949
I included the post WW II years because it shows the decline in
pride in the design and workmanship of the later cars.
