Default If You Had The Opportunity To Own Any Pre-War Car, Which Would You Choose ?

I see a lot of old cars on the TV auction shows, but I've never seen this one.
My choice is the 1930 Bentley Speed 6



Post a pic so we know exactly what it is.

I'm not really into cars of that era, however...

I LOVE 32 Ford Roadsters and if I was wealthier and had the space I would do one up in the classic 1950's HotRod style.

Something like this Highboy

40 Ford coupe.

(War was declared on Japan and Germany by the US in December 1941 - based on this, I considered the 40 model to be pre-war)

None of them. They're all uglier than a bag of smashed GEODON buttholes.

I guess I'd have to go with a Mercedes 500K like this, or a Deuzy SJ cabriolet...
Both close in iconic shape and level of quality.

I currently own a 1936 Pierce_Arrow V12 limousine, but my dream car would be a Duesenberg model J

Any of the Duesenbergs, this one is nice...



Might be tough, I think Leno is trying to buy all that are left.
