Tim Wolfe didn’t want his ’30 Chrysler to be a “30-footer.” If he and his wife Julia were ever going to be truly happy with their stunning rumblseat coupe, he knew the car was going to have to look as great close up as it did from across the street.

I appreciate the fluids under it. It's a pretty car, I like it a lot. I also like that it leaks... Makes me feel better about my 300 footers

Very nice!

I'd love to see one in Black, as this car originally was. With those artillery wheels, it'd be stunning.

Well then, you would be fond of mine. It's dripped trans fluid since the day I put it in. Leaky front pump seal....
