SC38dls Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Xander please tell me what you were drinking that night as I want to see if it is possible to have an experience like that. Maybe my Studebaker will look like a Bentley or some other magnificent machine. Dave S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The Same thing that is drunk by every guy at 2 AM when those # 1's. Start looking like a #10. Don't you remember the girls all get prettier at closing time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I never drank or drink to this day, so I never had the experience. But I did save alot of money not doing so for more old cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Xander Wildeisen said: I called the ad on the Cords, I wanted to know what it would take to buy both cars. Seller said 25K buys them both. The open car is a cab/sportsman, missing the top bows, floor cut out for RWD trans tunnel, unknown rear end, unknown front suspension and a chopped up/missing dash. Car is missing the body tag, and titled with the number stamped on the frame(OR title). The sedan is what you see in the pictures. I thought about just driving the 4 hours to go and see the cars, I would have to let go of one of my projects to pick up those. It would take both cars to make a incomplete sportsman. Money would be better spent buying the Auburn Cab that was the all the ////////talk awhile back If I was to buy the Cords, I know that I could not help myself, I would build a custom out of the two. A custom open Cord would be really cool, until a person went to sell it. Something about under water automotive scuba diving??? From a custom car guy at heart, I just do not see how you can improve on the 36-37 Cord design. A removable hard top could be made out of the sedan roof, and reshaped to fit the Sportsman, and restore the car from there. But it would need to have the exhaust out the side of the hood, It just sounds like a lot of money going into something that you would get hammered on when you went to sell. I did get my courtesy car on the road. And after a night of really heavy drinking, the two cars look just about the same. 25k for both cars is not unreasonable at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Xander and I could split it. 20G for the Open car and I'll take the sedan for 5,000. See that makes perfect sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Oh come on. I could probably give you a pile of parts to help finish it off. Alteast I could clean that front room out, they have been hogging up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC38dls Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Auburn the only way that looks like it will happen is if you get XW drinking that happy juice again Edited January 11, 2018 by SC38DLS (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the Jeepster could start looking like a Cord also! It is the last of the real Phaetons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
