Some of the nicest styled cars are most of them during the early 30's, especially many of the 33 and 34 cars.

This year I found a nice 1928 carb and a mint 1930 radiator cap. Must be a few guys that...05-06-2018, 07:20 PM -
I was in the car wash yesterday and noticed a guy with a nice mid 80's Mercedes coupe. We struck up a conversation about the car and he said that he was on his way to a commercial shoot in NYC. He went on to say that he has this car registered with an agency that supplies vehicles to photographers who want them for commercials.
