Answer
Defiantly not a VW. I think Packard might have done a swan at one time. Many of the 1920s and 1930s luxury car makes like Packard and Peirce Arrow had really big hood ornaments that can weigh up to several pounds and cost hundreds of dollar.

what are the differences between the poor/rich/middle class during the depression?

Answer
If your talking about the 1920s/1930s

then the Rich Class bought the fanciest of clothes, car, any luxury goodies to show in public that they were the Upper Class. They also attended parties, premieres, theatrical plays and college, mostly private or high end.

Middle Class was the majority of the population. Not making enough to enjoy all the luxuries the Upper Class could but not in poverty. Most could afford the everyday consumer goods. Usually attended public schooling

The Poor(lower class) were usually immigrants and Native-born Americans that the whole family were working low wage jobs under poorer conditions. They lived paycheck to paycheck basically. Usually lived in poorly kept apartments, or housing. Some of the lower class would also include farmers and other agricultural workers. They bought enough to survive with the little wages they had.

Now the depression caused for these classes to downgrade a bit, but it the 3 classes never disappeared. Some became more of a lower class but it wasn't as if the whole population lost everything. The lower class suffered the most, the middle class suffered, and the upper class may have not been able to afford all the luxury items but were better off than the other two classes
