The Dengler Domain: Cars – Part II

Cars are an amazing creation. Each one provides a different flavor than the next, but together these cars make up a wonderful ecosystem. Some go fast, some go slow, and some go just right. Last time, I wrote about the Lincoln Continental, Ford Thunderbird, and the Shelby Mustang. These are all amazing cars, and writing about more cars is even more fun. This time, I am keeping it to odd decades in choosing cars.

The first vehicle is a 1934 Buick Sedan. This is a beautiful car because the wheels stick out from the front end frame. The car’s look reminds me of The Great Gatsby, and the front seat appears farther back from the headlights than today’s cars. The frame of the car has an amazing, crisp look. The headlights are perfect eyes to the head of the car. I have never seen horns stick out on the front end like they do on this Sedan. With the engine tucked in between the lights, this appearance gives the car a tight look. This car is like a tuxedo because it looks classy. Nothing about this car says, “Look at my fancy bells and whistles.”

The second vehicle is a 1952 Dodge Coronet. The lights are spread out further, and the frame is not as crisp as the Sedan. It is bulkier with its wide front end. The front seat is closer to the headlights, and the engine is not as narrow. This car does not appear to be thrilling because it does not look like a speed demon. It looks like it would be good at hauling groceries. Part of the rear wheels are covered which is unique, and the rear side squares off the vehicle. This look is not appealing. The Coronet looks like most cars. Nothing about it stands out. There is a cool hood ornament stretching the length of the hood, but this does not make up for the lack of individuality.

The last vehicle is a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro. This muscle car is beautiful. The stripes provide an amazing look, and as a convertible the experience would be the best. This car’s front end is the definition of an amazing. It is long, sleek, and close to the ground. The car is built for speed. While I would rather drive a Shelby Mustang, a Chevy Camaro is not far behind. Driving this car would make my heart race. These vehicles are hot commodities in today’s world, whether old or new. These vehicles are a part of the American lifeblood, and they will continue to be with their dominant look.

Each one of these cars are amazing creations. While the Sedan and Camaro stand heads and toes above the Coronet, all these vehicles would be fun to drive. They each have their unique challenges, but these cars are a part of history. Camaro’s are easier to come by, but I would love to hop in a Sedan from the ’30s. The headlights and the unique horns placement are a big part of why I would want to be caught driving this car. It would be amazing to ride in this car with no technology, and the car is at the mercy of me. Plus, I am not buying groceries.
