Car is mostly sorted now. Just a lot of hours. Comes down to good vacuum and voltage.
Back when the 810/812 was introduced, technology wise it must have been like a space shuttle compared to other cars.
It really was. It was Buck Rogers in an automobile.

Car needs an exorcism.
If you feel that way, send yours over. I will give it a good home and get it working.

Ed, you know I had like 200 hours in before I gave up and brought it to the shop. A man has to know his limitations.
That is great advice from Harry Callahan.

I drove a 37 Custom Beverly on my drivers permit to the DMV on my 16th bday. It was a Saturday and we got there too late. I had to wait 2 days to obtain my freedom. A cord is a never ending sorting process. Most bipolar car ever. Runs perfect, depending on the day.
You need a better mechanic.

Actually Eddy it was 11 days ago we got 5 inches of snow. Super annoying.
I want to point out to anyone that has never driven one that a 810/812 Cord is a very speedy car. Maybe I'm just used to my Stearns but the Cord absolutely flies.
You are correct. The Cord wants to go. When you get to 4th they want to run down the road 60 mph or more. The Cord is a pleasure to drive. Anybody who says a Cord is not an excellent road car has never driven a good one.

They used to have a wonderful building of their own. What a shame.

I have a friend who builds some serious hot rods. Usually when he calls it means something good is going to happen. Help road test a new build. Get invited to go to a show. Things of that nature. So, he calls me and says he is in a barn near Mansfield Ohio. He tells me he is buying a 32 Ford Coupe but there is another car that I might want. He says it has been there for over 60 years. It has all brass trim, two seats and a huge fuel tank. The engine is a giant 4-cylinder. I asked if there was any name on it. He says the farmer is trying to rub the tarnish off so they can read it. Then he says it has some racing numbers on the sides of the fuel tank and hood. I asked how much is this car? To which he replied oh we can read the name, it says Stutz. Then he asks me what is a Stutz and oh the farmer says $10,000 takes it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I said I am on my way, what is the address. This is when my friend said April Fools.

I am starting to think I should buy an old farm and just rotate cars every couple months.
Extra barn find value might offset land purchase price.
I would get real barn dust in the deal too.
Don't forget to let the mice and pigeons in for extra patina.

Heard there's a guy in the Columbus area that has five 32 Ford 3 window coupes in his barn. Wants 500 bucks a piece.
I went and looked they were just roadsters and he wants 550 each, unless you don't want the Ardun heads.

Today was a great day to take the 1956 Cadillac for a ride to the Blue Bridge and to the Standardsburg Bridge.

What did LaFrance call for? That would be a good start.

Apparently a judge got into this car and took it out of gear... Not owner fault, nor mechanical fault.
Should have handed the judge the bill. Maybe concours shouldn't allow cars to be parked pointed at water in the first place.

Shop rates are only going to go up. With inflation and more regulations everything including classic cars will cost more.

While the front door on the Buick is similar to the 1908 Olds Prototype they are not the same. The Olds is sitting about 30' from me this morning and it is a very unique door and looks to be smaller than the Buick and certainly shaped a bit different.
They are the same idea.

What's more comical, or cartoonish, is seeing a giant next to a single-cylinder car. While the Packard is a step below in size to the Olds Limited, these "Mutt 'n Jeff" photos of a 1911 le Zebre and a 1910 Packard is fun to see.
That Packard is killer... Wow!

The Limiteds might have the tallest wheels and fenders of any car made, but the early Limiteds might also have the shortest front doors in the industry!!
The Olds and the 1911 Buick Model 26 Runabout shared very similar doors.

Today was a prefect day to get out the 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe deVille. This car is an absolute pleasure to drive and everyone who sees it loves it.
