This path leads to the lake. We can barely see the Alps in the background. Geneva and the Saleve are located at the right of the image at the opposite side of the lake.

1935 Auburn 851 boat-tailed speedster, in not subtle YELLOW.
To emphasize the smooth transfer from the previous 5 black and red images of the Cadillac V-16 four door convertible, sharp eyed viewers will find it in the Auburn's headlight. Both cars are major conspicuous consumption during the depths of the Great Depression but thank God that this spectacular rolling art was saved and not used to make battle ships, or left to rust in some back yard.
We hoi palloi with cameras are allowed to share (but not touch) though most of us would find it difficult to pay for the paint jobs (up to and sometimes exceeding $100,000) of these beauties.
It was the ninth time a Mercedes has taken home the prestigious award, a record number that is shared with Bugatti.
This particular 540K, currently part of the The Keller Collection of Petaluma, California, is a rare fastback coupe known as the Autobahn-Kurier. Just three were built, and this one is the only survivor. It's the example Mercedes first presented during the 1938 Berlin Motor Show.
This one was created in-house at Mercedes' Sindelfingen factory near Stuttgart, Germany, on the supercharged 540K chassis. The chassis boasts independent double-wishbone suspension up front and a swing axle setup at the rear. The engine is a 5.4-liter supercharged inline-8 good for about 180 hp, and paired with a 4-speed manual.

Two of the four external chrome exhaust pipes from the 1937 Cord 812.Instead of fastening these pipes to an underbody exhaust,there were on the hood in all their glory.One of the most distinctive vehicles of the 20th Century,supercharging was an option on the 812 which also featured retractable headlamps and front wheel drive.Only 1000 were produced in the two years it was available...
This car is part of a nearly 70 car collection that is the Tampa Auto Museum.Most of the cars featured are foreign made classics in engineering and design from the 1920's and '30s.

1937 CORD 812 Supercharged Sportsman Coupe
The new Cord 810’s front-wheel drive was a decided improvement over previous systems, replacing double universal joints with constant-velocity units that enabled independent transverse springing, an industry first. So too were the Lycoming 288 CI V-8 engine and Bendix preselector gearbox. Fitted with a 2-barrel carburetor, aluminum heads, intake and pistons, and rated at 125 HP in naturally aspirated form, the Lycoming V-8’s output leapt to 170 HP with supercharging.
With a new “812” designation, the 1937 Cord offered a new optional Schwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger giving up to 6 PSI boost and increasing peak output to upwards of 190 HP and 272 lb-ft of torque, figures that contributed to a series of Bonneville records set by racer Ab Jenkins in 1937, including a 24-hour average speed of 101.72 MPH that stood for 16 years.
