Stuck on Stockings

The elegantly dressed woman appears to be wearing nylon stockings. Weren't nylon stockings invented years later?

[Before nylon there was silk. -tterrace]

The folks who drove them are gone too

I enjoy your fun and usually alliterative intros of bygone auto makes and got to thinking of how much I prefer them to the recent dozen years or so of front ends of expensive cars looking like Massive Mack Machines or Bloated, Bulging Beatles. Would that I could afford a 1932 Packard 2 seater sporty 12 cylinder with maybe a rumble seat thrown in - Could this have anything to do with my being born that year , I wonder - - - ?

The early days of ghost riding.

When it was done with style and verve.

Elegant car

Very elegant lady, perfectly dressed for the part.
