All good, but I especially like the Studebaker. I have a soft spot for pre-war Studebakers. Not only do they look good to my eye, but I am fascinated that an American car manufacturer thought it was a good idea to name one of their lines "Dictator."

Terrific photos. I too like the Stude. It's hard to believe it's unrestored. "The Dictator", LOL, sounds like a Warhammer 40K vehicle.

Sorry, but the Auburn takes the win.

[Don Boose]

Well, certainly the unrestored Studebaker can't complete with that exceptionally classy and beautifully restored/maintained Auburn. I just have a thing for pre-war Studebakers.

The Auburn seems to be the No. 1 choice for most people.
The Dictator nameplate always made me scratch my head; another one that wouldn't be pc now was the 32 Chevrolet Confederate, especially since it replaced the Independence model.

I certainly can appreciate a beautiful car that has had so much money lavished on it that it's in better condition than it was on the day it left the factory, but at car shows I can't help but be drawn to the survivors - the well preserved barn finds who might have a bit of "patina", but wear their history proudly.

Doesn't that Kaiser have pocket doors that slide into the fender instead of opening normally?

[gotham]

Great pictures of some great cars 😊

[whulsey]

Burning Beard, you're correct about the doors.
