Aaah, I really would have loved the white car to go away but there was no use waiting. So the only thing I could do was to put its rear window parallel to the wing of the hood thingie (ornament?). Thank you so much!
That hood ornament stumped me for a time, but I found it. It is from a 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. Markus is wrong. That was a terrible time. The whole world was in a depression, and WW II was about to get really ugly.
But the 1930s cars were sculptural, filled with curves that had more to do with style than function.
I didn’t find the hood ornament … but I think I know more about hood ornaments of American cars by now than any other German … I have seen them all …. in google images …. ;-). The ornament was – beside the sign I thought was a Chevrolet sign – the only distinctive hint I had got from the car — but … I did not find it. Nope.
Ah, those were the good times, back then… and everything was better, even weather and politics!
And the cars were much more beautiful ;-) – not like nowadays were every car looks the same.
I’ve been away for a couple of months on a very long sweetwayfaring trip but I am back now and able to visit blogs again.
I love vintage cars, take photos of them whenever I see them but can’t quite fiture waht to do with them.
Yes, I have read what you have been up to – at least some of the posts :-)
You should read a novel where a vintage car plays an important role – at least for my blog this works and now I have a reason to show the photos.
lovely. Just what the designer saw. Goes great with the quote. The counter of the modern, squared off car in the background is perfect.

Thingie? You are getting so fluent:-)
Haha. Oh. I said thingie. Don’t tell anyone, yes? ;-) Of course I know the right thing (sic!) to say would have been thingamajig ….
