-<h1>Gatsby's Ride</h1>
-
-It's almost the end of 2022. That means Jay Gatsby lived and died 100 years ago
-within F. Scott Fitzgerald's _The Great Gatsby_. I first read the roaring
-twenties classic in high school, right before the 2013 film with Leonardo
-DiCaprio came out. It was one of the only reading assignments that my friend
-group really enjoyed. It was fun having the film trailers to help visualize what
-we were reading. As a historic vehicle enthusiast, one of the attractions of the
-story was the time period and, more specifically, its cars.
-
-The characters drive a variety of classics from the late teens and early
-twenties. Gatsby's car plays an important role in the plot (which I won't spoil
-but come on, it's been around longer than you or I have). But I find this car's
-description and its recreation in film over the years to be wildly different and
-fascinating. So let's take a closer look at Gatsby's ride.
-
-## Rolls-Royce _40/50_: the novel
-
-This is what Fitzgerald has to say about Gatsby's car through Nick:
-
-> I'd seen it. Everybody had seen it. It was a rich cream color, bright with
-> nickel, swollen here and there in its monstrous length with triumphant
-> hatboxes and supper-boxes and tool-boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of
-> windshields that mirrored a dozen suns. Sitting down behind many layers of
-> glass in a sort of green leather conservatory we started to town.
-
-What an awesome description. And it's exactly what you'd expect from cars of the
-rich and famous from the early to mid twenties: nickel plating, multiple
-windshields or even cowls, probably open-air, and lots of accessory boxes. This
-is the first time the car is mentioned and the only time it's described as
-"cream-colored." The rest of the small snippets throughout describe it as a
-topless car with yellow paint and green leather upholstery.
-
-> ‘Shall we all go in my car?’ suggested Gatsby. He felt the hot, green leather
-> of the seat. ‘I ought to have left it in the shade...’
-
-> 'It was a yellow car,' he said, 'big yellow car. New... No, but the car passed
-> me down the road, going faster'n forty. Going fifty, sixty.'
-
-There's not much more to go on except the color is repeated a few more times.
-And it's fast, considering your typical Model T Ford topped out at about 40-45
-MPH. We also get a brief description of two of Gatsby's cars, one of which has a
-specific make and model.
-
-> On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from
-> the city, between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his sta-
-> tion wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains.
-
-It's not surprising that a millionaire bootlegger like Gatsby has more than one
-car. The first is a Rolls-Royce, the typecast rich man's car. The other, a
-station wagon, is literally used as a depot shuttle for party guests. We can
-safely assume that the station wagon is not Gatsby's personal car being used to
-shuttle guests around, even though it's also colored yellow. If these are the
-only two cars Gatsby owns, then the Rolls must be the cream-colored "circus
-wagon", although more likely than not Gatsby has more than just a couple of cars
-in his garage.
-
-Assuming it is a new model, top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, Gatsby was most likely
-driving around in a yellow Rolls-Royce _40/50_, produced from late 1906 to 1926.
-Starting in 1908 it was the only model produced by Rolls during this time until
-the introduction of the smaller, cheaper _22_ in 1922. The engine and chassis
-remained mostly unchanged but the body style varied somewhat as years went by,
-becoming sleeker and more streamlined.

-
-Coincidentally, by 1922 the _40/50_ sales were languishing compared to newer,
-faster automobiles being produced by Rolls' competitors. The description of the
-car certainly fits however, with the nickel-plated grill and accessories,
-dual-cowl touring bodies, and leather upholstery.

-## Rolls-Royce Phantom: _The Great Gatsby (1974)_
-
-Fast-forward to the early 1970s and film producers are sourcing props and
-vehicles for another _The Great Gatsby_, this time starring Robert Redford.

-## Model J Dusenberg: _The Great Gatsby (1946, 2013)_
-
-A silent film was produced for Fitzgerald's book in 1926 but no known copies of
-it exist. The earliest watchable adaptation was released in 1946. Now Gatsby
-(Alan Ladd) was driving around in a supercharged Model J Dusenberg.

-
-The choice of a Dusenberg Model J was and continues to be an interesting one.
-For one, the Model J wasn't produced until 1928. All chassis were produced
-between 1928 and 1929 and then bodied and sold throughout the early 1930s during
-the Depression. If you're concerned about historical accuracy, there's zero
-chance of Gatsby driving a Model J in 1922. Heck, the novel itself was published
-in 1926, two years prior to production. Couple that with the specific mention of
-Rolls-Royce by name in the text, and it's a hard sell.
-
-If you're less concerned like me, however, this is a much more appropriate car
-for Gatsby to drive.

-Keep in mind this is a man who wears suits of silver and gold. His mansion is
-not traditional; it's castle-like and filled with rowdy parties. He's West Egg,
-he's "New Money", and he drives the millionaire-playboy's Dusenberg Model J. The
-car for the rich man who wants to present as wealthy and popular, not
-traditional and subdued. Gatsby is not chauffeured
