  2. I will have a car load of good Cord parts for sale in spaces RNG 15-16. A very small sample of the parts I’m bringing include rebuilt fuel pump, EE15carb, 3 startix including 1 rebuilt, hood prop, 3 TC regulators, good shift switch, rotor and pencil, another complete shift arm, rebuilt water pump, pair stone guards, original ignition switch, and a spread light as seen on Duesenbergs and other classic. You can email at cordseller1@gmail if you are looking for something in particular. Thanks, Cliff

  3. Driving onto a long exit ramp off of I84 in west hartford traveling at 68 mph in a 1936 Cord and applied my brakes and nothing,  no brakes and right down to the toe board and pumping brakes didn’t help. Luckily was able to stop using the emergency brake. Drove rest of way home using emergency brake. Apparently the left front brake line had moved slightly and the steering arm put a hole in the original copper brake line.

  4. When just getting started in the old car hobby, I drove my best friends 851 Auburn Speedster from Ct. to the ACD meet in Williamsport Pa.  My  best friend was driving his S/C Cord convertible coupe. I must say with the top up, my feet roasted on a hot day with the exhaust crossing under the drivers floor boards. It was a thrill driving the Auburn both ways and it was a year or two before I completed the restoration on my first Cord.

  5. Edinmass: with what you said about pure  provenance, it’s surprising that the one owner Duesenberg that belong to Coburn in West Hartford Ct. that sold about 3 or 4 years ago didn’t bring more money. From my understanding it was all original except for a White truck transmission.

  6. Appears to be a early 1936 Westchester  with the flat back trunk and it would not have pleated interior seats. I say it’s a early 1936 because the way the firewall was patched, it may have had the cowl oil and filter tubes coming from the passenger cowl vent. I don’t see the finger grip indentation on the cowl vent but that wouldn’t rule out it has been changed. If it was a   1936 arm chair Beverly with the flat back trunk, the seats would be all together different.

  7. Nizen machine is alive and well and operating out of Bethlehem, Ct. they recently did all the engine machine work on my Cord. Next time I talk to Pete Nizen, I’ll ask him about the dusenberg engine. Reminds me of another story I heard about Pratt and Whitney aircraft in East Hartford Ct. the story I heard is that they had  two dusenberg engines running some type of turbins during World War Two.  I don’t know the accuracy of that story.

  8. Best I can tell its a 1936 flat back westchester. The body tags indicate it’s a westchester with the letter A. It has the early cowl water and oil filler. I believe it’s standard wheelbase and 6 louver grille. It’s a odd ball it that it had pleated interior but does not appear to be an armchair Beverly. Can’t  see enough of the seats to accurately determine. If it is, that would make it rare with only about 12 of the arm chair beverly’s produced. Car belongs to a restoration shop in Castle Rock Colorado that had restored about 20 Cords.
