Just because

A 1934 Packard 12 Speedster



Via the marvelous Seraphic Secret blog.

Update: Inspired by friend and commenter Jonah's observations in the comment section, here's a 1949 Delahaye. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

  1. What about those Delahayes? I know they're French, but swap in a 302 Ford, a mild chop and some phat rims YO! Pimpin' bro.

  2. Wow, that Delahaye is something else! Have I seen it in an old Merrie Melody cartoon? It looks familiar, and I know I've never seen one in real life . . .

    1. The Delahaye looks like something from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

  3. Anon: It does look a little like something from a cartoon, doesn't it?

  4. 'Because' is all the reason that's needed.

  5. Beautiful cars, and I do understand they were state of the art mechanically in their day. But all my practical self can think is points, tie rod ends, valve adjustment, lubing the chassis. I absolutely loved my used 70 911s when I was 25 to 36 years old but I've dropped my last motor and changed out my last clutch. It's all AC, auto trans and electric windows from here on out.
