Beautiful, beautiful car...a work of art.

I love how the name "Twenty Grand" referred to the price of the car at the time. Sounds cheap...until you realise that at the time in 1933 a Ford V8 sedan could be had for about $700. It was the Bugatti Veyron of it's day...in price if not exactly performance...
