Cool Cars - Number Uncertain

It's been so long since I added to this series that I've forgotten where I was up to, so, to right matters, I'm doubling up and presenting two beauties that were snapped by my brother in Los  Angeles. The top car remains a mystery to me. I've lost my notes so any car experts looking at this will have to do their own guesswork.

This little cutie meanwhile, is a 1953 Ford F100 and after chatting with the owner, my brother Murray assures me the engine and transmission (with overdrive) are original. If you'd like to check out some of the many classic cars I've featured previously on this blog, just click on Cool Cars in the label line below.  There are dozens of them to discover.

Cool Cars - Special Edition

You won't see one of these every day. That may not bother some of you but for classic car fans, it's a rare and real treat. My American car sleuth - my Los Angeles-based eldest brother was on the prowl (probably showing off his latest Porsche), when he ground to halt to get these photographs for me.

"It's a 1938 Cadillac Limousine. Apparently the seating was a special and rare factory option, together with an optional bar fitted when the car was built. I wonder if it was a celebration of the end of the Prohibition Era?" he ponders.

I love it from the outside - a big, bold hulk of a thing but I'm not so enamoured of the red, velvety interior. I think that looks kind of slutty and gives a whole to meaning to the term 'pimp my car.' That said, I'd love to see it cruising the streets of Christchurch. I can just see our City Mayor using it as his official mayoral vehicle.
