Esquire's Preview Of 1935 Automobiles

This post has appeared on other sites since The Jalopy Journal, inspired by its earlier review of GM cars in the mid-1930's, first posted Esquire's preview of the 1935 automobile models in all of its sophisticated, art deco glory.  It is worth circulating again.  In addition to the well-known marques from the Big 3, there are offerings from Auburn, Duesenberg, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, Nash, Packard, Studebaker and more!
