Unusual, rare, and restored cars from the 1920's and 30's at the Nethercutt musuem
Posted by st at 7:51 PM I hope you've been looking at my blog long enough to recognize these headlights as my favorite, they are the Woodlight type http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/woodlight%20headlights , and only came on two cars I know of, the DuPont occasionally, and this 1930 Ruxton in its factory paint, stripes of reds. Three other cars have had woodlights, a Stutz, Cord, and an Auburn but I suspect they were added by the owners. Most unusual for factory paint, but it was the midst of the great depression, and this was a luxury car that needed potential buyers attention. ( just like the glam rockers of the 70's and 80's and the big hair and makeup )
The above is movie star Fatty Arbuckle's 1923 McFarlan model 154 knickerbocker cabriolet
The above yellow is a 1934 Packard
Above and below, 1932 Mayback DS 8 / convertible cabriolet
the above is a 1925 Locomobile 48/ Victoria sedan
the above is a Toledo tiller steered, ever notice that a kids little red wagon has a handle that flips up or down, and is a very small example of a horse drawn wagon? Transpose that thought to the tiller steered early horse-less carriages and the way they had tiller steering that resembles a flipped up wagon tongue
On the left is the blue with a hood that looks like the Renault of the same era, but the Franklin was American and this example is a 1912 model G
