Seriously, all this vehicle needs is a Benz Badge!

Hmmm - try 4 rings instead of intertwined laurel....

Well, I decided to look up the details of this particular Horch 930V. It is obviously an old thread and I must admit to never having seen it previously. So I went looking, and I came up with this beauty - how gorgeous is it ?

I wonder what sort of money it would fetch ? The styling and grace ? Extraordinary. BTW, I'll find a couple more for us to indulge in. Regards Styria

How good, what price this Buick ? The styling, the amount of chrome - simply mindblowing. Regards Styria

I spotted the Oldsmobile version at Eastern Creek back in 2012 (?). The owner - wonderful chap. Just so happy to talk about his car. I believe it may in fact have been for sale at about $115K. Oz money. Anyway, enjoy this Buick of 1949.

Fussy styling, it's different, it's quite spectacular. You be the judge.

Three very special and beautiful cars - each one pulls at the heart strings in a way nothing from today can do. Sad really.

Hi Styria the Horsch sold for just over $1 million US . Alas I cannot open most links at the moment as internet speed is to slow it has been restricted. I posted a lot of threads like this with no replies.

Whilst it is a Ford, it almost reminds me of a Cadillac or Chevrolet of round about that era. Nice and nice. Regards Styria

The rear view treatment, with its spare wheel location and coachwork is simply outstanding.

Interesting and one I would quite happily own but it does not have the line of the others does it?
I wonder if what we call beauty is simply the application of the Golden Ratio of Architecture?

Fraser Nash Coupe - the outside, with its Italian (?) styling cues, certainly looks better than the interior. Still, isn't it nice - the exterior styling - quite exquisite. Regards Styria

Posting cars from my favourite site to post I think I posted some of the cars recently but as I cannot open links in under half an hour so who knows.

In their day, these Panhards were absolutely sensational. As a snotty nosed kid, I used to see those cars parked inthe street, and I swear that each and everytime I saw one, I seemed to leave a moist print of my nose in one of the side windows. This was in the days of very basic Volkswagens, Puch replicas of the Fiat 500 Bambino and the very classy looking Fiat 1900 - all in about 1957-1958, the year I migrated to Australia. Regards Styria

I suspect the interior might work well in reality - rather like the Flaminia interior does.
The headlamps are un-resolved but the remainder of the lines flow smoothly and with some real interest in the way the second roof pillar kicks back in a Kamm tail.

I reluctantly say that this one is for our BenzBoy. Am I right, am I wrong ? I know what it is that he may not like, but still, a Rolls Royce from Henry Chapron? Impossible to ignore. Regards Styria

Just as an aside, I did have a peep at the upholstery and carpet - why, oh why, have green piping and green stitching ? I know that the two tone combination of leather and stitching are a $7K. option on a new Rolls Royce, but really, with the resto of an old car, why pursue that finish ? I think it is inappropriate.

Again there is evidence of design innovation in every aspect of this car - from the way the nose droops and then sweeps back to the A pillar to the consistent design of the nacelle. Oh what a pity design is now done by a committee and a computer and then checked to ensure it fits the 90 percentile. Artistry has been sacrificed for fear of offending the consumer!

I know the Panhard car but I will just take your word for it as I cannot see at the moment.

Hi Geoff, maybe that's a good thing..........How say you ? Agree or disagree ? Regards Styria

It's not a resolved design - just another lumpy limousine. However, without the build papers we don't know if the green binding is original or not - it may well have been so.
