Art Deco cars are beautiful in form and architecture. They are works of art from times gone by. Their beauty rivals most art. One look and it breaks my heart that we live in the world of today.
It really shows when you had a talented designer in charge as compared to what passes nowadays for "design", which means some recent college grad who knows how to push a button and steer a mouse to let the machine do the design. Cars really were beautiful creations at one time. They rarely are today.
What a brilliant use of my time. I have always had a leaning for Art Deco, that extends to everything architecture, design and fashion. Makes one think!
Best car showcase ever! This is my favorite era of automotive excellence! There was even a couple of names I didn't remember or recognize like Horch, DePaul, & Riley! I hate Bucialli wasn't represented though.
Wow! That '33 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow was pretty "Modern" looking, for it's day! We (my Mom and Dad) used to drive a '39 Cad Series 75, when we lived at Lake Tahoe. Duel spare tires and all. But I could see that '31 Alfa 6C 1750 GS parked in my garage!!!
Oh they were lovely, people say they were terrible, well, I don't know what geniuses think 85 years does to an automobile but it doesn't give them a kiss of youth. They were great back in the day, my pal had a Desoto Airflow 1936.
There was something special about that era of sideboards and flowing wings, evident from the huge popularity of the '32-'35 era cars for the hot rod brigade.
Those are "running boards". Sideboards are furniture items used to display food and store dishes. The thing about the hot rods of the late 4s and into the 50s is that they were built from old cars that were basically worthless and available in vast numbers. Those flowing fenders? Hotrodders mostly cut them off, and chopped the body to get the lines they wanted.
No, you really have to wonder how many PEOPLE were destroyed. You don't have to wonder about automobile losses during the greatest event of human destruction in the history of the species. Really, you don't.
@@jamespfitz actually, more people have died from the Spanish Flu in the early 1900's, along with other horrible diseases (Malaria, Polio, Scarlet Fever, et al), than have died in wars. But, that doesn't mean that we can't appreciate art. I was born during WW II, lived through Korea, Viet Nam, and about 100 years of war in the middle east (okay, not 100), and am sorry that so many have been killed and wounded. But I still like to visit art museums, and look at classic automobiles. Lighten up mi amigo.
... but were gasoline greedy, death traps when in an accident and pollution nightmares too. You can't have it all. If we still had the standards of the time with the amount of cars on the roads nowadays in the world, we would live in a permanent smog... and the price of petrol would hit the roof, if there were even some left.
@@haraldpettersen3649 Maybe... or maybe that's reality which is boring. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate the aesthetics or that I would turn down the opportunity to drive one once, but I admit they were (and still are) not viable for masses, either economically, environmentally or safety wise.
@@19Edurne glad you know nothing. Try being born then before you think you have the god spread overhauling opinion over everyone. Crazy idea, the internet is not a fact of answer.
😱 there were actually 2-3 cars shown here that I hadn't seen before! There's 1 brand that I was sure I'd see here wasn't shown at all (Bucciali)¿?! & surprisingly some of the most flamboyant of the era wasn't rep'd - the garish but majestic 'pontoon like enclosed front tire' models. Still a real treat👍
a great collection, thanks. The Cord models are espacially beautiful. When I had a second look on the Chrysler Airflow, I was jusr wonndering, to what extend the Beetle was influenced by Art Deco.
Unfortunately with the exception of Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler, and Packard, the great American marques shown here- due to the Great Depression- did not survive much longer. Piece Arrow lasted until 1938, and Graham produced a small number of Cord-based cars in 1940 and '41. That was it.
I love the cars, however, the 1939 Cadillac is a 60s, not a 75 series. I had a 1939 60s and i liked the styling better than the 75. You can tell the difference by the chrome channels making up the top of the doors.
All of the Duesenberg chassis and running gear were built in a single year. It just took them 10 years to sell them all. Coach work wasn't necessarily part of the deal; the buyer went to a coach maker for the body, which explains why an early body Duesie looks so much different from a late body car.
Very beautiful however I imagine these were only owned by the rich & famous. It is a shame that today styling seems to be the same on most makers. Individuality seems to have disappeared, I wish some would come back.
Too bad you have the totally wrong era music playing. The music you picked is WW2, these cars are from 10 to 15 years prior, ragtime, although not perfect would have been more appropriate.
i never intended the music to be in the same era as the automobiles. i liked the sound track, and most viewers liked it too. Try to get past your opinion and just enjoy the post.

*SUPERB...BRILLIANT... MUSIC CHOICE AND THE CARS...STUPENDOUS COMBINATION AND I LOOOOOOVE IT!*
Absolutely wonderful automobiles..and..fantastic music!!!
Got that right, brother! The music was great!!!!!
The cars? Speechless. Words do not do justice.
They're duesies!
Fantastic! The older I get, the more I appreciate pre-WWII cars. More, please.
First time I've let the music play on a picture video like this.
Great pix, great music.
Art Deco is the last mainstream style of architecture or design that I would really consider "beautyful".
Or perhaps even beautiful?
If you could only spell.......
Binyon H perhaps
@@cooldaddy232 now... now... now. Don't be mean!

I dunno Phyl, the Aston Martin DB9 is pretty close to perfect to me!
Today's designers are so constrained by safety rules that it's just not a comparable thing. But the cars in this video really are works of art.
THANK YOU IN EVERY WAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. This was terrific.
And from the bottom of my oil pan.No🐃just beautiful cars.
Lindsey, thank you for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it !
I LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR PRODUCTION! *BRAVO, MY GOOD MAN!!!*
@@ShogunHull Morgan, thanks so much for your comment
A lovely era that has passed.

The ‘31 streamlined Alfa 😳 and anything by Cord, Auburn, Duesenberg, beautiful.

All gorgeous
I love Art Deco design. Some of these cars fit in well but I really like the building and interior design elements.
I've never seen so many beautiful cars and the music was also spot on.
Actually, music is '40s
@@The35speedster Damn Straight. The Speeder speaks the truth!
Cars ran through 1939 music Started approximately 1942,?
I didn't care for the music. It sounded too new.

My favs are the Bearcats, the 1935 Alpha and the 1937 Cord. Custom cars straight from the factory. Love the cars from the '30s.
I love those "Super Bearcats" too.
Lovely. Thank you for posting this.
I LOVE IT!!! GREAT VIDEO & GREAT SOUNDTRACK!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Chrysler Airflows were always interesting to me.

if nothing else all these beauties had personalities
Gotta love when cars had some REAL style to them. I could be real happy with a '33 Ford three-window...or a '40 Ford coupe in my possession!
Ford did not make a 3- window after 36.
Great show, with great music
Every single one a stunner! And unique!
Beautiful cars and great music 👍👍
Supurb ... thank you for this perfect combo.
Very well done, and great music selection.
Photos don’t go too fast, just about right.
Some stunning cars ❗️

Absolutely beautiful
You have to wonder how many gorgeous French cars were destroyed during the war years?
And other fine cars, as well, but yes the French really had a way of making blueprints into REAL automotive Art.

6.32 That 1934 Chrysler Airflow sure looks like it may had inspired the VW bug.
Duesenberg!
Come to the museum in Auburn Indiana!
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy was WII. But great vid. 1930s Packards are my favorites. true works of art!

Awesome cars and the backround music was spot on......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I want one
One of each
Too late, too expensive.
Excellent! Missing is perhaps the best- the 1939 Lincoln Continental
The song is from the 40s not the 30s
Brilliant
Love the impossible to find "wood" headlights...
Woodbine?
@@jacqeusmouton4005
Woodlites.
@@joeschlotthauer840 Quite correct.
@@jacqeusmouton4005
I have to admit, that I had to look it up. My fiends son (30) thought they were made out of wood...
Great; simply wonderful; not a damn computer chip to go to s t in a sec. . these were autos!
Extraordinaria la coleccion. Todos los autos podriamos decir de rara belleza, algunos con largisimas narices
Ruxtons, short lived but very cool when dumping the running boards by channeling!
Nice cars and nice music but unfortunately the eras don´t match.
I was not trying to match music with the images. But I think its a good musical bed for the video.
@@oceanartimages6688 It would have been just as easy to correctly match the eras
Great video. Unless I missed them, where was the Citroen Light 15 (Traction Avant) & Tatra?
Awesome cars, some I've never seen before. One mistake though, 10:10 the 1936 Packard Roadster is actually is a 1941.
Clyde, your correct, the Packard got past me.
That 38 buick Y car was a concept car and was never a production vehicle.
Theres a difference between works of art and a car. We went from this to a Chevette, Toyota crap box...
The thumbs down people probably drive Toyotas and wouldn't know a good looking car if they were run over by one.
Art Deco the general category. Many are most specifically Streamline Moderne.

No Hudson Terraplane cars My dad had two of them in his 20's.
Maybe in my next video
@@oceanartimages6688 Thanks They are worth it.
And where is the utmost Art Deco automobile, the Panhard Dynamic...?

How to I put in my order for a 1929 Duesenberg?

Coach work wasn't necessarily part of the deal; the buyer went to a coach maker for the body, which explains why an early body Duesie looks so much different from a late body car.
And to this day some people still sat " It's a Duesy " Now you know why.
Dobrze to
any Alfa will do me nicely

Stupendous. Its the bees knees, whatever that means. 😂
i wish the auto companies would unleash raymond lowery talent on to days jelleybean designs.
After this clip i whant to play mafia
Where’s Delahaye????? It was the single most Art Deco car brand ever!
Who was doing the singing? She had a real Gwen Stefani vibe going on.
@Tim Mentzer Actually it's not. It's the Star Sisters performing an Andrews Sisters tribute medley recorded in the early 1980s.
@@patdthomas The Star Sisters sound damn good!
Certainly not all Art Deco inspired.
