The 1930s might have been the greatest 10-year period in the history of the American automobile. Even in the face of a suffocating Depression, American cars continued to .evolve with beautiful designs that had never been seen before: General Motors began "face lifting" its vehicles with new styles for every model year Hard -rubber tires were replaced by balloon tires, impressive 16-cylinder engines began showing up -Under massive hoods and hydraulic brakes became the norm. The synchromesh transmission, independent suspension, heaters and radios made automotive journeys more comfortable than ever.
It was truly a decade of advancement and achievement for U.S. car makers. In just '30s, the publisher of Old Cars Weekly, Old Cars Report Price Guide, and www.OldCarsReport.com celebrates this fabulous decade with a look back at the cars, and car companies, that gave us such great memories.
