I will be able to find free time for this I just hope I won't run out of time before it rolls under it's own steam again. It is an 1927 Pontiac tourer

Those are some fine vintage cars. I think it's cool that some get preserved / restored, I doubt they are driven much. What interests me the most, or at least it used to, is the mechanics under the hood.

Can you identify the 2 red cars I posted?

The two red cars are Delahayes. The top one is a 1939 Delehaye 365.

Damn that's a gorgeous automobile!

Right on. I nearly once bought one in excellent driving condition (in 1962) for 2500 French Francs (less than $1000). But I had no room to store it.

Are you cryin in your beer over how much it would be worth now?

This has always been on of my favorites. I built a model this exact car (green vs red) when I was a kid.
1935 Duesenberg SJ Dual Cowl Phaeton.

Yeah, those Duesenbergs were awsome.
