On Black Tuesday, the last day of the stock market crash, bankrupt investor Walter Thornton attempts to sell his luxury Chrysler Imperial 75 Roadster for $100 on the streets of NYC, October 29, 1929.
The Wall Street Crash marked the beginning of the Great Depression which lasted until the late 1930s. During this time, businesses were wiped out and unemployment peaked at 25% in 1933. Al Capone was the first person to open a soup kitchen to feed the poor. His kitchens served three meals a day to ensure that everyone who had lost a job could get a meal. Soon, every city and town had a soup kitchen.
Not everyone experienced misfortune during this time. JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, realized that it was time to get out of the market when a shoe-shine boy offered him some trading advice. During the Great Depression, Kennedy increased his fortune by investing his money in real estate. In 1929, his net worth was around $4 million ($59.6 million today). By 1935, his wealth had increased to $180 million ($3.36 billion today).

In 1963 only 199 Z06 Corvettes were produced, usually intended for racing, and of the 199 total six were built specifically for Le Mans racing by Chevrolet. One of six 1963 Z06 Sting Rays built in late 1962 to race at Riverside on October 13, 1962. They were destined to compete in a different type of racing for sports cars, a NASCAR- sanctioned event at the famed Daytona Oval, the Daytona 250 – American Challenge Cup. This means the cars need to be set up for a different set of rules, just as for large Grand National stock cars. The chassis was extensively modified and an experimental 427 cu in (7,000 cc) engine was installed. The car was lightened in every possible way and weighed over 2,800 lb (1,300 kg). Further preparations were made by Mickey Thompson. Among other changes, Thompson replaced the Z06 "Big Tank" fiberglass tank with a larger 50 US gal (189.3 L; 41.6 imp gal) metal tank. Driven by Junior Johnson, interrupted by rain in the race, stunt driver Billy Krause finished third behind Paul Goldsmith's Pontiac Tempest and AJ Foyt in the other Corvette.
