    Those Ruxtons are crazy cars. Gotta go find that picture of the crazy striped one.

    I couldn't find the one I was thinking of (multiple horizontal stripes of different colors), but here's another one:

    Incredibly sleek for its day. And a car I've barely heard of.

      Ruxtons are CCCA ™ Full ™ Classics ™.
      Just think of the fun to be had pulling into a CCCA event full of Rolls Royces, Packards, V12 and V16 Cadillacs. The striped paint job would be a poke in the eyes, and considering how few still exist (20? 30? nothing definitive on the net, just estimates) it's not like you're going to see a dozen of your same car at the event…
      I love, love, love the tall skinny Woodlite turn signals that match the headlights. There's gotta be a barn with an unknown and restorable survivor Ruxton inside, somewhere out there…
