Classic Cars of the Roaring ’20s

The classic cars of the roaring ’20s featured many of the innovations that we think are new today, like electric powered cars, four wheel drive, front wheel drive, and even hybrid fuel/electric cars. These automotive innovations were in fact all introduced in the 1920’s.

You may not be familiar with all of the cars, but you will remember the flowing curves, rakish lines, bright paint colors and dual tone color schemes that were features of many of the classic cars of the Great Gatsby era. Here are a few memorable cars we’ve recently seen.
