They're "Classics" … Autos that is.

Used to be, automobiles were not only functional … then subsequently, virtual necessities … they were also distinctive in appearance and some, quite artistically designed. Any time I come across a so-called "Classic," I'll take it's picture and , more often than not, use the photo as the basis for a poster design.

Here's one … and I'll post others later

The ''classics'' really did have style.

Great photo.

I love old cars...  

Grandpa had one similar to this, a 1949 Kaiser.  His was dark, shimmering green, and it had sunshades, with a divided windshield.  I just can't find a picture of it:

Presently, I drive an IOldsmo-Buick (Enochobile).

I used to tool about in a Rolls Canardly.

It can hardly roll down one hill and get up another.

The deluxe package featured factory installed chrome fender dents, edible mud guards, two season inside climate control (Winter Wonderland and Tropical Paradise), intermittent braking, centrist steering column, and power repair bills. 

On bald tires with gale force winds behind while driving down a ninety degree angel it could go from 0 to 10 MPH in thirty minutes or more. 

Ah rumble seats, I remember them well.

LOL!

I will never forget the mechanic that took a look at my 1965 Mercury Comet and told me that her fuel injection system was bad.  I did love the old carburetors...

Not a car, but it's a classic. 1949 Indian Chief.

 

It's a beauty and once belonged to me. I sold it in the mid 1990's

Here is a song paying tribute to Indian Motorcycles. Arvel Bird, ''Ride Indian Ride''.

I am more than willing to amend my headlines in future such articles to, let's say … "CLASSIC RIDES!"
