If you are into these kind of cars, a good place to start looking things up is.

There are a few clubs that want you to join even if you don't have a fixer car yet.
Those 35 business coupes are pretty rare. I'll bet there were less than 3000 ever made. The pictures I posted are from one found in France.

When I was a kid growing up in the late 40's and 50's these coups made by every manufacture were often nicknamed salesmans coups. The Fuller Brush man and other traveling sales man loaded up the trunks with there sales goods and traveled small town and county roads peddling the items. Always had candy for us kids. Fun times

Ah yes I remember them as well. During the summer months as a young lad I would stay at grandma's house on the farm and the Fuller Brush man, Watkins man, and others would come around peddling their wares. My favorite was the guy selling the different syrups for making orange drinks and such. We never had those 'luxuries' in the city. Good times indeed.

36 is about the same car.
They have a bunch of wood in them, the 36 is the last year with wood.
My brother has the shell of one, he will never get it going, though.
It's a pain to move, since the axle is locked.
Thanks for the pic's J.

Here is a pre-war Oldsmobile for sale not too far from me. If I was finished with the 71 I might consider looking at it for a frame off resto. Those 30s cars are something else. You don't seem them often.
