1935 Auburn SC 851 Speedster (supercharged). Like #1,348 above, a very early example of auto industry trying to sell a "lifestyle" (typically using women to sell to men) along with their new product features.
Pretty soon they were all doing it, worldwide, and still are to this day.
Any purists ... stuop reading now I like this '57 Olds Supper 88 Coupe.
While I'd never take apart complete original (so assuming a suitable starting point,, e.g., a clean roller fixer uppper) I'd fill it up with the stoutest, torqy-est, most streetable powertrain (I love that 502)I could, and other cool touches (not necessarily all the things these folks did)
