1931 Chevrolet Sport Coupe, with vintage hats to match!

The Literary Digest from January 24, 1931  had an ad for The Chevrolet Sport Coupe with rumble seat.
Look at all the action in this picture! The guy with the suitcase and the lady in the rumble seat make me wonder if they are coming or going.  Love the guy ringing the dinner bell--wearing the white jacket.
Price on the sport coupe with rumble seat--$575, Standard Five Window Coupe-- $545.



I have a couple of hats in The Vintage Hat Shop that would fit right in this scene.  And a couple more to be added to the shop soon.

1931 Chevy and a brown cloche

I bought the January 24, 1931 issue of The Literary Digest specifically for the Chevy advertisements. Yes, my guy is a Chevy man. The photo of The Chevrolet Standard Sedan is such a classic!





But when I looked carefully I saw some advertisements that  match perfectly with some vintage hats currently listed in The Vintage Hat Shop.  

Look at the women getting out of the car. That brown cloche is perfect! It reminded me of the 30s cloche that I recently offered for sale in the shop.






The little guy running toward the car has such motion. And what about the man holding the suitcases-- wearing a striped vest! This simple picture tells a whole story.

I don't know if you can read the fine print that tells the prices of the cars--- Roadster $475; Sport Roadster (with rumble seat) $495;  Phaeton $510;  Coach, $545; Sport Coupe (with rumble seat) $575; Coach, $545; Standard Five-Window Coupe, $545.
