These are my most favorite type of automobile. They were the luxury cars of the late 'twenties and early 'thirties and they were known as "The Olympians". The Packards, Cadillacs, Duesenbergs, Stutzes, Pierce-Arrows, Auburns, Marmons. A few foreign makes played too like Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, and Hispano-Suiza When you ordered one of these cars from the dealer you could pick from factory body styles, or you were just getting the chassis, drivetrain, and the bodywork from the radiator to the cowling/instrument panel. The rest of the body was custom-built by companies like Fisher, Rollston, Murphy, Brewster, and LeBaron to name a few. You can zoom-zoom in your Vectors, Ferraris, McClarens, and Saleen's......Just one of these cars had more class than all of that modern "luxury/exotic" crap put together. V-12's are nothing new....Lincoln and Packard were running them, not to mention the V-16's that Marmon and Cadillac had. Anyway here's a dozen of them for you all to check out.
