"Pedal to the metal Clyde!"
“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
In 1930 three dollars is enough for a fine movie and posh dinner for two. Under a sawbuck with change to spare for 5 cent popcorn.
Some members may recall of my boasting of driving a modified black 1937 Packard Hearse 4x4 with a flaming skull on the hood and a big black pirate flag hanging off the CB Antennae. That is my alter ego’s choice. It's what can happen when you have dual personalities.
Call me old fashioned, my dream wheels.
As for myself I prefer a more refined choice as my dream car. Something a little more stately, a touch of class without being too opulent, and a little reputation as a bad boy.
At 125 HP, dats Horse Power giving these wheels more pep for dat quick get-away and with the same engine will purrr smoothly and easily on a slow cruise down Rodeo Drive.
When this baby came out into the streets just after the world was cast into an Economic upheaval. America was plunged into The Great Depression. And the cost of some basic goods in 1930... get a load of dis.

If I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb, she can be dressed down with fewer details and appointments. For the night out I'll ditch the flapper outfit and dress up in something more up to date.
🍹 I'll put a link in the notes below. Coats from $9 to $24, shoes typically around $1. This website does give me an ideal of fashion style and prices at those times.
Put this number all together with black Opera gloves and fedora I am set for a fine Night out in vintage style with the boys.
And the music written on my Heart?
Of course my dream car will be fitted with a modern playlist USB port. They are a divided into genre favorite playlists. Gospel, Post-punk,punk,alt-rock, and select Symphony Orchestral selections from my favorite composers Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen of TSFH; Two Steps from Hell.

It's not just memorizing the words but knowing each note, the role each instrument, nuances and textures, the flow and ebb of the harmonies intertwined with the melodies into surges and swells of delightful poetic auditory energy.
Before I finish this post, I will share this pirate themed favorite: Cannon in D Minor
