Spiro Pappas, Chuck Samuel etc.
Correct on all counts.

You can see Chuck's Camaro in the background. That's Eric Van Berkum (the blonde guy - aka "Eric the Chef") in front of the car.

My cousin's husband had a small collection of '20s Buicks of which I have driven a couple. My favorite was a '28 5 window coupe with rumble seat.

I also drove his '29 Lincoln dual cowl phaeton. The Lincoln had a 396 ci flat head V8. Gobs of torque, smooth and quiet, with a feeling like you owned the road. - Bill W

Acceleration, braking, steering effort and just the ride itself. As compared to a modern car like a Lincoln or a Caddy.
