Survey: What are the best cars from the 30s?

What do you think are the best cars from the 1930s?

Just so all you know: I'm lenmann's daughter and I'm doing a project about the cars of the 1930s and I wanted to see what all you guys thought of the best as in "the car that everybody wanted". The car people saw and went "Woah, thats amazing". Just wanted to clear that up. I've already surveyed my dad but I thought what a better place to get more responses than from the H.A.M.B!

 

Well, I like my 37 Cadillac. But I think a Cord would be neat.

 

Bonnie and Clyde preferred Fords

 

Are we talking Stock?

Auburn. Hands down.

 

Defenitly not Fords, everyone who got one seems to have modify them. Chop the roof, take away the fenders, change engine (to csb and hemi´s). You name it....
It must be Chevys...

 

Duesenbergs,Auburns, Rolls, Cadillac, a bunch of European cars, Packards and Chryslers. But, kind of a silly question-why do you ask?

 

Define "best". Value? Durability? Easiest to restore? Style?

 

1936 Ford 3 window.
1932 Ford 3 / 5 window.

 

Rust-free ones that run.

 

Mopars for sure! All steel framed bodies, and hydraulic brakes, both before GM & Ford.

 

Really anything manufactured by FORD from 30-36 does it for me. I am sure the higher end coach builders made nicers cars but not to me. They were perfected in 30 thru 36.

 

Your question has many answers depending on what you want to find out.

As for me, styling of 32-36 Fords, 37-38 Chevys, 37-40 Lincoln Zephyr coupes to name a few that I like.

 

Model 40 Ford.

 

what he said^.....FORDS. and the 39 merc is pretty sweet to

 

This.

 

The whole decade was a golden age in automotive styling. Difficult to pin down to a few examples.

 

Probably Hispano-Suiza.

 

Blower Bentley............

Cord 810/812 - way ahead of their time but rushed into production so there were issues....

 

Yep!! I like my 1931 plymouth pa

 

They are all great, but I like the 32 Ford (yes, me and everyone else)

 

Delahaye.....ahhhh..

 

MODEL A Ford, stock they are strong and simple, good looking make great rods and are still available at rteasonable prices.

 

Best quality and best built Packard

 

best...39 Willy's with a 41 front end
2nd best...33 Willys

 

Now if I had a '33 Willys I could go out and play Ohio George.

 

Obviously Model A 1928-31.. How many million did they produce?????

 

I'm with you on this one!

 

terraplane's prefer 1933 ask dillinger

 

Packard = Quiet and Smooth,Dependable too
