Ford Model T
It is with some trepidation that I enter into this post. Following my recent excursion into early 20th century racing my interest was piqued in some of the cars from that era, roughly the period before WWII, but really pre-1930s. This is a new area for me since my interest in cars has mainly been restricted to the post-war years generally, and largely only the 1960s and later. Like many, I have a somewhat limited knowledge of pre-war cars. First there are the high-end models that we see annually at Pebble Beach and other concours d’Elegance-level car shows–the Duesenbergs, the Bugattis, etc. I have little expertise in this area, but the cars I usually see seem to have been expensive to begin with and have just increased in value since. Most of these cars have inhabited the rarefied air of the rich and famous since their initial purchase and hence us common folks can only eye them from afar with something of a detached interest.
