Well, I want to "cleanse my palate" after looking at the Brutalism thread.... and I love art deco!
So let's see some lovely images.

Never gave any thought to the HSc being an Art Deco design, but damn, yeah it is.

It seems like nearly everything from the 30s and 40s had Art Deco design elements. The future was going to be flying cars, and space travel... but what we actually got was people pooping in the streets and virtue signalling abortions. :'(

Quotable. I might steal that for the Book of Faces.
The Savage pistol predates what Wikipedia says is the beginning of Art Deco. But anyway

Looks like the Coronado (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronado_Theatre) in Rockford, IL. Was just a movie place when I was a kid, but it's been refurbed into the "Coronado Performing Arts Center".

Pop had an Indie. Used to commute to the Brooklyn Navy Yard on it. As a critical worker, he had an extra gas ration, so he'd fill up the car, then use the gas in the 'cycle for economic commuting*. Thus we had plenty of gas for extra travel. Mom hated the motorcycle. I'm not sure if she coined the word "murdercycle," but she might have.
She also made him get rid of the DEWAT machine gun he had mounted in the back of the '29 Ford pickup truck.

* I don't think that word had been invented yet.

I prefer Art Nouveau. Prettier.

Just about every Chicago suburb had/has a movie house that was built in the Art Deco era. Some have been torn down, quite a few have been restored (to various degrees) and others are still awaiting restoration.

I always liked buildings with those glass bricks you couldn't really see through.
I miss the drive-ins. Yowza.
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who after necking and wooing, has not said
When leaving the drive in, with face red,
I left the speaker on the window, my dear Mildred.

Another one.
The Stout Scarab (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout_Scarab). Never went in to production, alas.
