I like the Pederson Auto Museum in LA..So many cool old cars.
Right down to its funky color!
Sooooo nice!
Automobile styling peaked in the 1930's. Too bad it did not survive WW2. Everything looks like a running shoe now and to get to that every form of ugliness has been tried. Pity.
La Salle quit in the year of my birth but there were still many around when I started noticing cars.
Take a look at the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum site. Tiny cars for tiny houses!
Appears to be a 1941 Hupmobile Skylark. Only 319 were produced. Modeled after the 1937 Cord but less expensive.
Most likely a 1940-41 Graham Hollywood Sedan since both grilles seems to be chromed.
The similar Hupmobile Skylark had only the lower grill in chrome and the upper parts in bodycolour.
Thanks for the correction, Anonymous. (I thought it was a La Salle.)
Michael J., Thanks for tip on Microcar Museum. Great! I've always loved the Messerschmitts, but was not aware of all those other tiny cars.
The Graham was a less expensive version of the Cord. Same parts with a few changes here and there: for example, rear wheel drive instead of front wheel. Check out this link for some insights into the Cord and, by extension, into the Graham.
