Depression Era Automobiles.
I am running out of subjects, and open to suggestions. This week’s subject was suggested by TrooperTY
There are some modelers that model only the steam era and need motor vehicles from that era.
The most popular modeled era is the late steam, early diesel period in the 1950s
Many automobiles from the depression era were still in use in the early to mid ‘50s. By the late ‘50s they were mostly in scrap yards.
