AN EYE-POPPING STATEMENT OF BEAUTY AND LUXURY.

Tom Lyle Williams, had an eye for exquisite motor cars and purchased cars that are today considered some of the best of the classic era.

Tom Lyle's car's (pictured below in earlier posts) include..... a 1916 Paige Detroit roadster..... a 1926 Kissel Gold Bug Speedster..... a 1934 Packard Individual Custom Dietrich V-windshield V-12 Sport Sedan..... a 1939 Packard Super 8 Convertible coupe..... and the 1940 Packard Bohman & Schwartz Convertible Victoria we see today.

So ends my 10 day, mini- documentary, on Tom Lyle Williams and his extraordinary, gorgeous, custom automobiles..... hope you enjoyed the ride with us. 

Stay tuned tomorrow for more fun, fascinating stories from The Maybelline Story and the Spirited Family Dynasty Behindt It.

Tom Lyle's flashy little yellow 1926 Kissel, what a head turner.

          Tom Lyle Williams 1926 Kissel,

Here is a picture of Tom Lyle's sister, Mabel Williams.....Maybelline's namesake.....with her new husband, Chet Hewes, on their wedding day, in 1926. The Newlywed's are posing next to Tom Lyle's new yellow 1926 Kissel.  I believe TL eventually, gave this car to his partner Emery Shaver, who in turn, gave it to Tom Lyle Jr. in 1932, when TL Jr, was a student and captain of the football team, at Duke University. 

If only Tom Lyle, had kept his beautiful cars..... there might be a Maybelline car collection today.
