Cross Country Trip

I was with somebody who was planning a cross country trip by car.  She had a car picked out and we went down to look at it.  It was a new car but looked like it was from the 1930's.  It was grey and had running boards.  I looked at it and it did not have any springs but was on a suspension like a baby buggy.  I thought how uncomfortable it would be to drive cross country in.  When I started to tell my friend about the springs she was already in the car and getting ready to leave.  I looked in the car and it did not have a back seat.  It was a two seat roadster.
