1937 Prosperity

The year is 1937. America and most of the world is experiencing the Great Depression. Rural Americans often relied on interurbans that were fairly prevalent from the turn of the century. Wisconsin especially had many lines connecting not only the larger cities, but many of the smaller towns in between. This is my interpretation of that era. While I dont wish to make accusations without the facts, it would appear the driver of the Cord 810 is rather well off for the times. The only time a car like that appears is when it's headed to one of the resorts up north frequented by the many gangsters from Chicago.

 

Scratchbuilt interurban. Vehicles by Franklin/Danbury Mint.
