Fins... and not a shark in sight

Some images from the "Stars and Stripes" Classic American car show, the grey Oldsmobile gets my vote.

Okay, that Red Caddy's rear end could easily be the front if not for the fins.  Love the first one though.

I'm still partial to the 20's and 30's Art Deco auto styling.  

They don't call me Deco for nothing.

Yep,  like that red one. Its gangster cool...  That's missing the spare tire cover. That  explains the mirror rigging...


That trailer is something that would be resting somewhere in my imagination.  Of course in my mind it would have brass fittings and teak wood throughout.  Either way, in the end, its home.  :)

Whoa! Memories...

The old man had a new, 1959 Cadillac Coupe deVille. Sweet ride and gas was often $0.25 per gallon in Dallas back in the day. Chrome was king.

Who remembers when some of the massive Detroit Iron front bumpers were known as "Dagmars"?
