edinmass Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Having been in the market for one of these cars for about five years, I can say the strong prices that were common are now not so prevalent. I think the market on them is back to 2010 numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I "know" my Cord, because early on I was advised to learn about it, do the work myself, and so forth. I understand how it works, more importantly I understand how it DOESN'T work and have been successful in fixing it to run. I traded a 1934 Pierce production Silver Arrow V-12 for my Cord. I've always said that I traded mechanical excellence for timeless beauty. As with most things beautiful, the upkeep is usually a higher realm of maintenance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I come from, that’s a poor decision. Just saying. Did you buy a tow truck for the Cord? 😏 The good news........you will only regret that trade once...........which will be continuously! 😛 Edited July 8, 2021 by edinmass (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Well, Ed, I was young and foolish, my new wife and I had gone to a CCCA Grand Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas. There we rode in a Cord phaeton and we both agreed we needed one. One soon became available, I had no money, but did have the unrestored V-12 (though it ran great). Thus the decision was made. And yes, I'm still looking for the Pierce Arrow tow truck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
