Traveled to Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive last Sunday and took many pics of a California car exhibition. tried to take out the trashcan in the foreground with Photoshop... didn't quite get rid of it. Couldn't resist giving the cute doggie red demon eyes.
What has this to do with furry art...? Umm... there's a dog in it. :)

If it's the wooden-bodied one to which you refer, that's a 1946 Chrysler Town and Country. From '41 to '48 Chrysler made wooden bodied sedans, coupes, convertibles, and roadsters. as well as traditional wooden station wagons. High on mantinence, (any wooden fittings have to be tightened regularly,) and they creak like a tall ship in a gail, but they're real spiffy looking. They're a little lighter than all steel models, but not by much.

It's a great website, Old Iron Online. Much more information than the websites that just do pictures, and the old brochures give you a peek into just what America wanted out of a car back then.
Quote from a 1950 Mercury advertisement: "It's long, it's low, it's really massive! Eighteen feet of excitement!" And you also find out things like that same car was supposed to get 25 miles per gallon, better than some cars today.
