History Tough when stock

There's always one that stands out.

1934 Graham Paige Sedans always look tough in an old photo.



But there's others.

 

They have that something extra.
The Art Deco age was lost to the war

 

OK

I will add this link to a previous post from Jive-Bomber, - https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=15009

 

It's the low windshield, like Hudsons (even trucks) they came pretty much chopped from the factory.

 

I have one of these 1935 plymouth two door slant back coaches out in the shed. It just shouts potential to me.

 

A friend used to own this tough looking 1928 Graham Paige, RHD imported to UK in 1930 by one of Al’Capones right hand men.



It's a very well built car, I was surprised to see hydraulic external band front brakes on it, modern and old fashioned at the same time.

I wouldn’t mess with anyone in a ‘32 Lincoln

 

I wish the Sydney Harbour Bridge had that much traffic now.

 

Here is my 1934 Nash advanced Eight

 

Wow, That's an oldie........... Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade.

 

How is this for looking chopped from the factory? 1932 Hupmobile F222.

 

I guess his right hand man needed a right hand drive car. He left his left hand man back in the states...

 

You're right, but his left hand man quite rightly felt Al had cheated him by being left behind and he had the right to give him a left hook to the chin!

 

'62 Pontiacs give me wood!

 

How about a V-12 Lincoln?

I always thought that Diamond T trucks had that "tough" look with its slanted windshield and short roof height that looked like it was chopped from the factory.

 

Full Aero front fender.

 

Back when cars had a personality, and a definite attitude.
That grille has a certain "SNARL" appeal to it.
