Addams & Aston

Charles Addams was the cartoonist whose work was the basis for "The Addams Family" TV show.  Addams was also a rabid car guy.  In the late 1960's, he bought the 1933 Aston Martin LeMans that had belonged to my friend Charlie Turner.  I had the good fortune to later meet Addams at an Aston Martin club meet in Pennsylvania.  This depicts Addams and the Aston at his house on Long Island.

The 1st Squire of Zethrin

In the mid 1930's, Adrian Squire built seven exquisite automobiles before going bankrupt.  Enter Val Zethrin, one of Squires original buyers.  Zethrin bought the company and assembled three more cars.  This is the first of those cars.  Coachwork was by Corsica Body Works.  This car sold at auction last year at Amelia Island for just under a million dollars.
