How Do I?

Interesting conversation about old money/new money and their respective preference for their understated cars versus new money bling bling cars. Gary Cooper:  A lister Hollywood superstar sex symbol actor of the 1920s.  Would be considered new money for his day?  I would believe so. He owned this Duesenberg And this Duesenberg.  1 of 2 built   Clark Gable, another A lister Hollywood superstar hunk of the 1920s owned the 2nd Duesenberg roadster. With a splash more blingy paint job. Red with grey.  Id like to think that Duesenbergs were the bling bling cars of their day.  I guess cars were always a center of talk and attention.  I would like to encounter a Duesenberg SSJ one day in person.  I have both the sedan and coupe versions in my diecast collection. 

Reminds me of reading about actor Christian Bale (Batman) who drives a 90s Tacoma around Hollywood. 

Kia is on a hot streak, taking over times square for the New Year Count Down. KIA AMERICA CELEBRATES THE ALL-NEW 2027 TELLURIDE WITH NEW YEAR’S EVE TIMES SQUARE TAKEOVER College graduates are asking Dude where is my Job as Growth goes up, jobs go down. The weakest labor market since 2011 has BofA asking, 'Dude, where’s my job?'

Too funny  

It's also an old money / new money thing.  New money goes for bling. Old money is fine with an older Benz e-class wagon, or a Toyota Land Cruiser. But even celebrities often have blend-in cars, basic old Prius or something to go out in under cover.
