Wow! It's all news to me, although replicas of the Cord have been built in the not too distant past. It's easy to say that selling my Cord was not one of my best decisions, although it was clear to me that I'd likely never get it restored. Anyone involved in this hobby (true classic car ownership) understands the cost.

Thanks for the link, Bill. I'm going to keep watch on this project to see how it shakes out.

For what ever reason, I hadn't clicked on the link previously. It was nice to refresh the old information, for it has been years since I last read anything about E.L. Cord and his business dealings. I was still active in the hobby when Glenn Pray started production on the Cord reproduction.

Again, thanks, Bill. It's been fun revisiting those wonderful old cars.
