85 hp, 221 cu. in. flathead V-8 engine, three-speed manual transmission, solid front axle with transverse leaf spring and semi-floating rear with transverse leaf spring, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 112 in.

Ford began an effort to distinguish its Standard and DeLuxe models, starting in 1938. Standard models were built with 1937 front sheet metal and DeLuxe models received new, updated front-end styling. They were distinctively designed with a new heart-shaped grille flowing over the crown of the fender catwalks. As seen on this 1938 Ford DeLuxe Convertible Coupe, DeLuxe models also benefited from the addition of dual windshield wipers, walnut wood grain window moldings and dash panels, a “banjo” steering wheel, and a locking glove compartment door with a factory clock. This Ford was well-restored some time ago and is now showing signs of aging, although it has been regularly maintained. The rumble seat and interior has minimal wear and includes a factory radio and brass extinguisher. Meanwhile, the paint finish exhibits some chips and touched up areas, yet it is very glossy overall. This DeLuxe model has been regularly maintained for driving and is a beautiful Ford on the road or on display.

HIGHLIGHTS

226 CI 6-cylinder engine

3-speed manual transmission with overdrive

Single disc clutch

Darrin-designed body

Art Deco steering wheel

Original radio

Original fog lamps

Bumper guards

Full size wheel covers

Wide Whitewall tires

The first postwar Kaisers appeared in 1947, and they were truly remarkable. By design, they featured a number of firsts, and through engineering, they featured fantastically advanced materials, equipment and build quality. The Special was the entry-level model but left little for customers to miss. This one is powered by the 226 CI engine, 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a single-disc clutch. The groundbreaking body is presented in black and was designed by Howard “Dutch” Darrin. Equipped with the original fog lamps, the car also features bumper guards, full-size wheel covers, wide whitewall tires and an original radio. Of particular interest is the Art Deco vibe within the Special, especially surrounding the steering wheel. These first-generation Kaisers have long been overshadowed by vehicles from The Big Three, as well as other independent competition, but many agree, very few come close to offering postwar America such a modernly styled and constructed automobile, making them very special indeed.

An important piece of GM History

Corvette aficionados take note: this Ontario Orange 1971 Stingray convertible is not only one of just 12 Corvettes built that year with the ZR2 Special Purpose LS6 Engine Package, but also one of only two ZR2 convertibles known to exist, and it is in fact the very last of Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov’s factory-built extra-high-performance specials, a group that includes the original 1963 Z06, the 1969 ZL1 aluminum-block L88 and the ZR1 Special Purpose LT1. As the very last of the so-called Z-cars, it holds an exclusive position as one of the most historically significant cars in General Motors history. More rare than even the vaunted L88, the ZR2 was a one-year-only production package comprising the best high-performance components available from the factory: LS6 454/425 HP engine, aluminum heads, a dual-plate clutch, M22 “Rock-Crusher” 4-speed manual transmission, J56 dual-pin heavy-duty power brakes, F41 heavy-duty suspension with special springs, shock absorbers and front and rear stabilizer bars, and a heavy-duty aluminum radiator without shroud. Power steering, an automatic transmission, radio and air conditioning were not available as options. Documented by its GM Shipping Data Report as exported by GM Overseas Distribution (dealer-code No. 1 in zone 79), this car was built on May 25, 1971, and was shipped to its first owner, an American living in Germany; it was returned to the U.S. in the early 1980s. It has been body-off restored by the Naber Brothers of Houston to immaculate condition, and it was part of the Bloomington Gold Special Collection in 1999, inducted into the Bloomington Gold Corvette Hall of Fame in 2003 and was part of the National Corvette Museum’s Concours d’Performance Exhibit. Most recently, the car earned an NCRS Top Flight award in 2013. In addition to its LS6 454/425 HP engine, it is optioned with aluminum heads, shoulder harnesses, an auxiliary hardtop, 3.55 Positraction differential, A.I.R. smog controls, aluminized exhaust, Soft Ray-tinted glass, Rally wheels and blackwall tires. This historically significant Corvette is also accompanied by documentation that includes the two-page tank sticker and ownership history.

Sold new to F.W. Nicolson, president of the Pullman Railroad Company of New York City, this 1929 Packard 633 Eight Sport Phaeton soon changed hands when it was sold later that year to the present owner’s father. This is a remarkable example of the elegant Sport Phaeton and retains most of its original paint and interior, both of which have acquired a lovely patina over the course of the car’s 90-year history. The year 1929 was an important time for Packard, which introduced its new Standard Eight model line to replace the standard-bearing Six. The successor was announced in a rather implicit manner in a single advertisement posted on September 15, 1928, that simply declared, “With the presentation of the new Standard Eight with cylinders in line, Packard offers the consummation of thirty years of skilled artisanship. Lithe, graceful as a seabird and with the potential strength of an ocean liner, it is a fitting companion for the Packard Custom Eight—which has so firmly established itself in the fine car field.” The new cars were intentionally modeled to closely resemble the Six, but details such as a revised radiator shell, new headlights and some chrome exterior plating distinguished the new from the old. The Standard Eight used a new 320 CI inline-8 engine rated at 90 HP, a 4-speed synchromesh transmission, lower-rate semi-elliptical springs with a new “loose trunnion” left front mount accidentally discovered to eliminate shimmy, and larger mechanical drum brakes. Offered with a known history since new, this 1929 Sport Phaeton has obviously been well cared for. The engine was rebuilt in 2009, and the clutch, brakes and tires were replaced in 2011. Still decorated in mostly original blue paint with black fenders and white accents, it is generously outfitted with wood-spoke wheels and whitewall tires, dual side-mount spares, dual spotlights and cowl lamps, draft deflectors, a radiator stone shield, covered trunk and the famed Goddess of Speed mascot.
