Re: '49-'50 Eight - Kodachrome period photo

Digitized a few more old Kodachromes. Some are from Hershey in the 70s, others from the Stutz, Pierce-Arrow and Packard celebrations at the Burn Foundation Concours in Lehigh Valley, PA, and a few others from early Greenwich Concours. I'm sure some of you can identify almost all these cars, the two that might be the hardest are the 1st and 2nd - if I recall correctly this is the last Duesenberg chassis to be bodied, in 1938 for a German man from the Jersey shore - Bauer might have been his last name. I forget the coachbuilder. In the Stutz group photo the 2nd from the right is a Weymann (fabric bodied) DV-32, currently owned by Judge Cassini. # 4(1) is a Minerva, still owned by Ele Chesney I believe. #17(1) is an Isotta Frachini, by Castagna IIRC. Also note the Car of the Dome before it's restoration and one of the '34 LeBaron 1108 Twelve sport phaetons (a real one!).

Aren't those Chrysler phaetons handsome? Curious how it took them so long to get the respect they have today. I completely forget what the last one is - help please.

Hundreds more, should I keep going?

Hope you enjoy.
