An era describes context; it is not a claim that every surviving example was built in the same year. Individual profiles explain presentation dates, reference seasons and production periods where those distinctions matter.

Cadillac 1930
The 1930 Cadillac V-16 Series 452 roadster reduces the passenger body while keeping the early sixteen-cylinder car’s long front end. It is an especially revealing way to study proportion: the large bonnet…
Cadillac 1930
The 1930 Cadillac V-16 Series 452 Sport Phaeton spreads the early sixteen-cylinder car’s luxury across an open touring body. Its attraction is the relationship between the long mechanical front and a passenger…
Cadillac 1931
The 1931 Cadillac V-12 Series 370A dual-cowl phaeton makes passenger separation part of an open-car design. A second cowl gives the rear seating area its own visual boundary, while the long bonnet…
Cadillac 1931
The 1931 Cadillac V-12 Series 370A roadster gives the twelve-cylinder Cadillac a compact, open passenger body. The selected Greenwich concours photograph identifies the V-12 model directly and shows the two-door body clearly.…
Cadillac 1931

Chevrolet 1934
The 1934 Chevrolet Master Sports Roadster by Holden brings an Australian coachwork story into the Chevrolet archive. Its rarity belongs to the named Holden roadster body, while its Chevrolet chassis gives it…
Citroën 1934
The 1934 Citroën Traction Avant 7A is the opening chapter of a famous engineering story. Its collector identity lies in a brief early specification, before later Tractions turned the basic idea into…
Ford 1934
Edsel Ford’s 1934 Model 40 Special Speedster turned an executive’s personal interest in design into a remarkable physical automobile.
Renault 1934
The 1934 Renault Nervasport des Records is a study in sustained speed: a long, streamlined body wrapped around a straight-eight powertrain. Its modern heritage presence also tells a second story, because Renault…
