The lower level of my train layout is a pre-World War II setting. The streets are filled with cars from the era - a tan '39 Graham Paige Sharknose sedan, a maroon and black Model A Ford and a green 1940 Packard Darrin. The parking area contains a Cord, an maroon Chrysler Airflow and two Ford woodies - a '35 and a '40.
The cool, art-deco styled, gray and blue, full-skirted sedan behind the lamppost is a 1937 Panhard Dynamic Berline, something not often seen in the U.S. I placed it there because it looks very fancifully Thirties Aero, like you might see in a Disney or Merrie Melodies cartoon from the period.
Union Station has waiting taxis and a navy blue 1934 Chrysler Airflow. There's even a Christmas parade with Santa atop a 1930 Aherens-Fox fire engine.
