The advertising drawings from that era have a distinct art-deco look. The car is generally placed within a well-to-do setting, and great attention is played to the clothing. The sets might be a golf scene, in front of a portico, on even in back of a wealthy dowager on a porch. The chauffeur mechanic gloves, greatcoat, and cap and goggles were pretty much gone by that point.

Over here the place to go in the 1920s as far as motoring and motor racing was Brooklands;

I also associate the era with the monster Bentley racing cars that did so well in the Le Mans 24 hour races.
