Its an interesting Chrome and Black treatment on the quadrant in the dash.

I've not seen one like that. As a long-time Oakland Raiders fan, I kinda like it.

Rock,
You should have a lot of info in your email inbox by now re: 2375F. I hope this sheds some light and gives you ways to research for additional info. For those of you reading this, I'd upload a photo of this Cord but, don't know how to do it.

Hi Hank,

I heard that you sold your "Sportsman"! True? Sure was a nice car. I've not seen a nicer one!

Thanks for the email address and I'll get those pics of the "Sportsman" #2375F to you over the weekend (2/18 - 2/19/2012). I just have to root around and find them in their secret hiding places,,,shall I say the "archives"?

Posting for Jim Davis.

Factory materials did refer to the car as a Sportsman's Convertible Coupe, of which the above article is a variation, but "Sportsman's Convertible Coupe" or "sportsman's coupe" and "Sportsman" are not the same thing.

Regardless, a rose by any other name smells as sweet. I hope you are getting some enjoyment out of the car, Rock, although I doubt the weather in Indy is letting it out on the roads this time of year.

For those of you that have Reunion Book Two, Dr. John Baeke printed an article I sent him from the November 22nd 1936 issue of the Minneapolis Tribune and claimed that this article proved that it is indeed correct to call a Cord Cabriolet a Sportsman. His words, not mine. I have asked Chris Summers to post the article here for me.

Rock,
Just came across your inquiry regarding #2375F. I had owned this vehicle from 1985 (or 86?) and sold it to a retired hotel chain owner in Tennessee in the early part of 1989... as memory serves. The dates are a little fuzzy. My ownership was a a special lease through MBNA which the title history may show and I'd terminated the lease early with a buyout.
I had acquired the Cord through a dealer in Long Island who was brokering the sale for the owner, a retired Postman located in upstate New York. As it was told to me the Postman had owned this Cord for many years and I think I still have a picture of it outside his garage.
There was an original sales brochure (general in nature, not specific to this vehicle) that had come with the car which I still have. There is an ink stamp on it from the Long Island dealer where I assume it was purchased new. Also, I have several pictures of the car from my ownership days. I can email these to you if you'd like.
Let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance. Im located in Colorado.

Don't want to pick at an old wound, and West is right when he says we should concentrate on the important issues. But every time I look at this thread the title "Sportsman" grates. Fact is, if this club is not committed to accurate history, then it loses much of its reason for existence. And accurate history tells us that the 2-passenger open Cord 810 was referred to just once, in a brochure, as the "Sportsman's Convertible Coupe". So I will continue my curmudgeonly ways and state again, for the record, that it was correctly called, by the factory, a convertible coupe or a cabriolet. Not a Sportsman. By cracky.

In that case, my best advice is for the owner to join the Club and bring it to this year's Reunion in Auburn (September 2-6). With all the Cord guys that swarm the event, [i:2zd03p4z]someone[/i:2zd03p4z] is bound to recognize the car. Most Club members are generous with tips and knowledge relating to Cord care and maintenance as well.

Then I had a gray Porsche... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" />

Sportsman is the nickname given to the Cord cabriolets. I've learned to live with it. When someone mentions "Sportsman," I know exactly what they're talking about, so it's not a big deal.
Let's not be like the Porsche fanatics, who get upset when someone says, "Porsh."

The car is a Cabriolet, described in some ads as a "Sportsman's Convertible Coupe." Common mistake, don't worry about it.

Rock, I'd be interested to know about the car, too. I got to look it over at Kruse's Auburn auction last fall and really liked it.
