   Why aren’t we rich? A $550,000 Lambo leaves me cold, but something like this……

   I prefer the 1931 Chrysler CG Imperial convertible.

       Makes the Lambo look like a flattened sardine tin.

   Each to his own I guess but a Lambo (or any other supercar) and these are not really comparable – you need to look at Rolls / Bentley / Maybach type stuff. I like innovation but these, pretty as they are, were just extravagant extensions of existing technology. Something out there, like the Citroen DS perhaps, which really moved things on appeals more to the engineer and artist in me.

     I guess we’re really talking about aesthetics, Brown. No modern car comes close in that department. And in my book a Rolls never came anywhere near anyway, no matter what vintage. Maybe one or two Bentleys…
     The old Alfa and Buggati saloons certainly did.
     The engineer in me appreciates simplicity, reliability and longevity. Bridges and cars have something in common there.

       The engineer in me is why Duesenbergs have so much appeal.The Duesenberg brothers were at the forefront of engine developement and produced a couple designs that weren’t implemented in production cars for decades.They for instance had the first reliable dual over head cam engine.This at a time when nearly everything else were L or F head engines.
