A few years ago, we made the informal decision to stop including most prewar cars in the Lost and Found department in Hemmings Classic Car. While we have nothing against prewar cars, we discovered that entries featuring them tended to draw fewer responses than entries featuring newer cars.

But that’s not to say that we stopped receiving prewar L&F submissions; in fact, we’ve received a rather steady diet of them, and it’s disappointing to see them go unanswered in a file folder here. But while we essentially have no place to put them in the print magazine, that doesn’t mean we can’t run some of them online to see if they generate any responses.

So let’s start with the top image, submitted by Jerry Hawk of Chicago.
