    1927 - On November 13, the Holland Tunnel opened to traffic. It was the first mechanically ventilated underwater vehicular tunnel, and it was also the first Hudson River crossing in New York City.

  20. Found some interesting stuff at www.oldcarsweekly.com titled as Dad’s Desirable Drivers


    [​IMG]
    This photo of the first Packard Darrin was taken with trees as a backdrop in
    St. Petersburg, Fla., around 1943. Notice the car’s eteneral exhaust pipes and
    how daily use was affecting the paint, evident by the lifting paint on the fender skirt.

    [​IMG]
    The 1939 Packard Super Eight Darrin is pictured here against
    the buildings of downtown Miami around 1940.
    [​IMG]
    This 1940 photograph shows the 1939 Packard Darrin after it
    had just been purchased by David Osborne Hutchinson III from a
    Hollywood car dealer. It is shown with Hutchinson’s 1936 Auburn
    Speedster before it burned in a body shop fire.

    Another photo of the 1939 Packard Super Eight Darrin.
     
  21. some more from the same source:

    [​IMG]
    The author, David Osborne Hutchinson IV, with his father’s second Packard
    Darrin, a 1941 One-Eighty victoria, in 1946. The author rode in this car as
    a child for close to five years.

    [​IMG]
    Eventually, the colors of the 1941 Packard Darrin were reversed
    from a white body and black top to a black body and a white top.
    The author is shown here with his grandmother, Mrs. A.T. Hutchinson,
    who used the car every day. This circa-1950 photograph was taken just
    before the car was driven to Miami to be sold. The author notes:
    "Grandmother was hard on whitewall tires. Remember, the Darrin did
    not have power steering… I often helped with the wheel when parking."

    [​IMG]
    This factory photo shows one of the 12 Count Alexis de Sakhonoffsky-designed
    1940 Nash Ambassador victorias (six were sold and the remaining six were
    converted back to Ambassador convertible coupes). One of these cars was
    owned by David Osborne Hutchinson III, but no photos are known to exist
    of his car.

    from www.oldcarsweekly.com look for Dad’s Desirable Drivers
