When I was in college back in the early '70s there was a fellow student with a '33 Essex Terraplane coupe that he had driven the 800 miles from his home in California. The car was completely original and handled the long drive without trouble. Having fiddled with the quirky Chevrolets of that era, I was amazed that such an exotic car could be somebody's daily driver. He parked it in the lot with all the student cars and treated it like any other old car. At the end of the year it went back to California and I never saw it again.
