Most Beautiful Cars Of The 1930s And '40s

Over at The Jalopy Journal, there is a great pair of posts ranking great automotive designs from the '30s and 40's (the series also continues into the '50s and '60s).  I have to agree with many of the picks, including the 1939 Graham (a/k/a "Sharknose") convertible pictured here.
