Here’s @saffisara’s contest prompt post for all ya guys and dolls link here I knows its getting late for da low down on dis initiative ya knows what I’m saying hon?
"Pedal to the metal Clyde!"
“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
In 1930 three dollars is enough for a fine movie and posh dinner for two. Under a sawbuck with change to spare for 5 cent popcorn.
Some members may recall of my boasting of driving a modified black 1937 Packard Hearse 4x4 with a flaming skull on the hood and a big black pirate flag hanging off the CB Antennae. That is my alter ego’s choice. It's what can happen when you have dual personalities.
Call me old fashioned, my dream wheels.
As for myself I prefer a more refined choice as my dream car. Something a little more stately, a touch of class without being too opulent, and a little reputation as a bad boy.
At 125 HP, dats Horse Power giving these wheels more pep for dat quick get-away and with the same engine will purrr smoothly and easily on a slow cruise down Rodeo Drive.
When this baby came out into the streets just after the world was cast into an Economic upheaval. America was plunged into The Great Depression. And the cost of some basic goods in 1930... get a load of dis.
Roast Prime rib or T-bone steak Entrée: $0.40 USD.
Up to a $1.00 at more lavish restaurants in Manhattan.
Movie ticket price; $0.20 to $0.25.
Most Pleb cars cost $640.
Average household income: $1,970.
Average Home Price: $7,145
Cost of a gallon of Gas: $0.20.
Loaf of bread $0.09.
1 dozen eggs: $0.45.
1 lb. Round Steak: $0.43.
½ Gallon fresh milk: $0.28.
If I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb, she can be dressed down with fewer details and appointments. For the night out I'll ditch the flapper outfit and dress up in something more up to date.
🍹 I'll put a link in the notes below. Coats from $9 to $24, shoes typically around $1. This website does give me an ideal of fashion style and prices at those times.
Put this number all together with black Opera gloves and fedora I am set for a fine Night out in vintage style with the boys.
And the music written on my Heart?
Of course my dream car will be fitted with a modern playlist USB port. They are a divided into genre favorite playlists. Gospel, Post-punk,punk,alt-rock, and select Symphony Orchestral selections from my favorite composers Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen of TSFH; Two Steps from Hell.
Blackheart on YouTube by THSF.
Shiver my Timpanis on YouTube by THSF.
Flight of the Silver bird on YouTube by THSF.
The American Dream on YouTube by THSF.
It's not just memorizing the words but knowing each note, the role each instrument, nuances and textures, the flow and ebb of the harmonies intertwined with the melodies into surges and swells of delightful poetic auditory energy.
Before I finish this post, I will share this pirate themed favorite: Cannon in D Minor
With da bad times coming we gotta prepare so we can make out like a gangster. So pay off dem debts, stack real and sound money, food, maybe a heater like a Tommy-gun or two. Get your wealth outta da system while da goin's good.☠️
The #piratesunday tag is the scurvy scheme of Captain @stokjockey for #silvergoldstackers gangster pirates to proudly showcase their shiny booty and plunder for all to see. Landlubbers arrrh… welcomed to participate and be a Pirate at heart so open yer treasure chests an’ show us what booty yea got!

Physical precious metals bullion stacking is only a part of my personal overall financial strategy. Meanwhile, collecting numismatics have a different set of objectives and strategy. Please, Do your research before deciding to buying any bullion or coin products.
WOAW... You sure made lots of cool stuff into this post 😁 loved it.
That Pirate Cannon is awsomeness and I can picture you in a car like that and you would own the Streets 😉👍
I saw one like that in a Autoseum that I went to with my parents, lots of old cars and I agree with you. The older ones are badass.
When I was at the Autoseum with my parents I saw many really cool old ones and those 2 pictures are my favorite cars from that day and the red one is really cool 😁 lol
Old cars just have such character and details that you don’t see today, as for many other things as well.
The dress and shoes you mentioned on your night out is insane, love it and I know you would turn heads wherever you would be 😍
Love the way you write and see things, and ofcourse wise as a godess. To get prepared for whats coming is important and to Stack up in metals and food.
Loved your post alot and you managed to squeeze lots of good things in.
Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Much love 🤗🩷🌷
Well the ideal was slow coming at first until it finally became a brainstorm yesterday morning. Then I took a crash course in Gangsta slang.
They may be low tech but vintage classic automobiles have a special charm to them that reflect quality products, innovation solid cultural values, dependability and tradition in a sense.
Then end with the message from the past Great Depression to everyone today; that we’re on the cusp of another looming depression so prepare. Scout’s honor.✋
As ladies back in those days say. “You’re all Aces girl!”

This is my dream car https://ecency.com/thealliance/@silversaver888/i-want-this:
Is there something you want to have for no reason at all except that you like it?
A long time ago, I was on the verge of purchasing one in an auction, but I was ignorant of basic auto maintenance. In order to purchase it, I even desired to train for it. It's the Model T Roadster from Ford.
Much !LUV, sis 🤗😍😘

I vaguely remember that post.
A genuine Model T,
At least we still learned how to change an air filter, do an oil and oil filter change, and know how to put on the emergency spare tire.
But I can’t find the air filter or the oil filter in my electric car.
Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

I’ve seen classic vintage cars similar to this style used in all kinds of special occasions, mostly for weddings. There used to be an annual Car & auto fare in Vancouver. I didn’t remember what each were called but I liked the old vintage cars and they had a charm to them.
Ha ha, dfinney in the next comment replied with her wedding picture with a vintage car. 👇

Loving the Pirate Cannon in D and the car. Both seem great for a night out.
When we got married we had a car,
similar to this one (except the color was taupe-y brown) that drove us from the church to the reception. The driver even wore a zoot suit. 😍
Cannon in D minor is far different than Pacabel's Canon.
You look abs gorgeous as a bride @dfinney I bet every moment of your wedding is cherished forever, including an exhilarating ride in a vintage automobile.

I should add a gun rack in the back with a pair of Thompson M1928 Machine guns before I install the BOSE Boomer and satellite speaker system.

Prices continue to go up with the debasement of our currency and few people actually understand this……..
Keep stacking the silver and gold !😊

Why did I picture you with such a car before I even saw it 😂... It screams your name girl! Plus it's such a beautiful car, one you enter and immediately starts oozing royalty 😌
Classy ride! I’d enter and exit this limousine like a Roaring 1920s movie star. The back doors open in a special way by the Chauffeur. And I can make some money renting this baby out for special events and movie shoots. Passive Income!

That is a very cool car, sis, and I love the shoes! I remember gas at $.20 per gallon, but it was quite a number of years after the '30's!
Love the shoes, too! You are so right; it's time to take care of our financial plans, as no one else will! The governments certainly won't - they just look for ways to spend out money!
Take care sis and enjoy the evening!🤗💜🎄🎁 !LADY !DIY

It was only a year later in 1931 the Government did a switcheroo and pulled the rug under gold ownership pushing everyone into fiat. Only one gang of bankers could have pull off a heist like this.

A government rug pull? What a surprise... Not! Our government took away everyone's gold under President Franklin Roosevelt, government at it's worst. If you ask me all bankers are crooks!

The shoes sure give you some height, goes nice with the outfit though.
PD
I like shoes that make my feet look bigger, just like some anime characters. It's sort off counter culture to the Chinese Lotus foot fad that 19th and 20th century when Chinese ladies did in bandaging their feet to look smaller.

You are not old-fashioned, I think that each individual decides what he prefers or not, the important thing is that the person is happy with himself, it is impossible to make everyone happy, so it is better to be happy yourself, you liked that car and its details, respectable in my opinion.
Well said, I do like old fashioned vintage things.
Nowadays consumer products are not built to last and often fail not long after the warranty. My perception of Vintage encompasses products like this auto was built with quality in mind. Easy to fix when needed. Built rugged to withstand decades of use. The philosophy of company that builds a reputation as a trusted name behind a product with a long termed vision.
Many companies now simply maximize for profit.
