Art & Inspiration 1937 vehicles

I agree , '37 was a great year in auto design.
I recently did an engine change in this lovely coupe.

 

Here are a few shots of my 33,000 mile original paint '37 standard coupe ........

 

Hey drptop, ^^^what is this?^^^

 

That would be my 1937 Buick

 

Nice! I didn't recognize the grille.

 

X38, I think the only front end difference in 37 was painted vs chrome grill bars??

 

Excuse me, I confused myself with 38 Deluxe vs. Standard. Sorry about that.

 

Here's a rare one to make up for it:

 

Its all good. Figured thats what you were thinking of.

 

forgot about the packard I had, this one was even more than I had time to tackle. Cowl and nose went on to someone else's build.

 

Drove this for 13 years,great car

Since this thread is still active, here's one of my favorite cars from that era, the Dubonnet Coupe. Commissioned by Andre DuBonnet (DuBonnet Wines fortune), designed by aerodynamicist Jean Androu and built by carrossier Jacques Saoutchik. Sometimes called the Xenia Coupe after his wife Xenia Johnson. Built on the Hispano Suiza H6B/C chassis. Lots of French Curves.

 

And the car is pretty curvy, too!

 

I'm loving this thread.

 

me too.....!

 

In the art world it's the time of transition from Art Deco to Streamline Moderne.
My favorite inspirational art form applied to buildings, planes, cars, commercial vehicles, furniture, radios, kitchen appliances, etc.., just before the WW2 effort and continuing into the late 1940s.

Another example of a 1937 Delahaye ...

 

yes!

 

I built the AMT 1937 Chevrolet coupe model as a "Schwinn Stingray Blue" gasser when I was a kid. here are two real ones..

 

from across the pond.......

 

I'll throw my 37 Terraplane in the mix and my 37 Dodge Canopy Express that one day see the road.

 

mercedes......

 

37 Phaeton on Deuce Rails.

 

Post 57/. The 1937 Lincoln Zephyr coupe is my favorite. I wish now that I had not sold it in 1974 or '75 (along with a '37 LZ four door sedan)!

My Buick

 

My 37 Chevy and 37 Ford Utes. Chevy is all stock original, Ford is hot rodded (and no longer that ugly blue, repainted silver and needs to be put back together)
