the cars between the wars look very attractive to the eye, if slightly early bling in some cases. But are these cars just glitzy museum fodder or are they real quality cars that can be used. And how on earth do owners find spares?

The quality was very high, the luxury marques were more than a match for europes finest, compare a Duesenberg with an Hispano-Suiza, or a Cadillac with a Tatra V12 or Rolls-Royce. All superb. The bread & butter American marques were far better than their european counterparts, compare a Ford model 'A' with an Austin seven for example.

Completely the opposite now though.
