One of the books on the collection mentions that Fritz Schlumpf [i:188boz6r]hated[/i:188boz6r] American cars, hence...none in the collection.

Hello all : I just visited the Schlumpf museum in Mulhouse, France. They are not closed for lunch; as a matter of fact, we had lunch at the museum.
It is not the easiest place to find, but once in the area, the signage to the museum is good. Parking is confusing as it is a good one hundred yards, and across a stream via long bridge to the main entrance.
I kept asking locals about the best way to get to Mulhouse. Now, I was using the U.S. Pronunciation......Mul as in "mulling it over" and house as in dwelling. They could not figure out where I wanted to go until the light came on. The proper French pronunciation is "moolooze." We had a good laugh!
The car collection is excellent and well displayed. I did not see one American car, save for a Harley-Davidson motor bike with sidecar. They have an excellent Formula 1 display starting in the 1950s thru the mid 90s.
Put on your bucket list if you are in the area.
CORDially, Tim.

Now in the Cord special on this same post I see the complete panel is maron painted. I'm thinking the maron panel is not correct but it does look nice. Anyone know if the black is the correct color to paint that part of the panel. Thanks everyone.

I?am not sure, if I can understand well, but the black one is unoriginal repaint on this part.

I don't have this panel and wondered if it was an acessary or a standard piece. If its required whats its name. Is it an engine splash gaurd. Thanks again. Its pictured on page 19 or 27.

Yes, both sides of egine have 100% original splash guard. I?ll take a picture of them.

These are some great pictures on an unmolested Cord. I see the asbestos brick on the exhaust legs. What a hazard that stuff is way back then. Sad looking engine too with the passenger side block pushed outwards from the freeze. Too bad we didn't have freeze plugs in these blocks. May have saved a few/ The Special sure is a nice looking restoration. I'm not sure we its called a Special. Can anyone explain why its that way..

Hi,

Great pictures to help with my re-assembly of 1509A. Not everything looks familiar though--has all the relay hardware been redesigned and replaced?

Thank you for posting!!

I have heard this place can be a bit problematic to see. Understand they close for a couple of hours @ mid-day and that there isn't much in the way of amenities nearby.

That said, I would not miss it if I had the opportunity.

Hello,

I would guess these old-fashioned opening times are history.

B.t.w.: the scenic german Black Forrest (with its popular cuckoo clocks <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> ) is only 20 mls eastward across the Rhine river.


Cheers

Agree with Mike. You will never see a more unusual venue. Beyond the Bugattis the cars are an eclectic European mix. It is in an industrial area as this was once a woollen factory. Alsatians take lunch very seriously as was pointed out, however the food in the small local restaurants is memorable as is the local wine and cheese!

Can anyone confirm?

If any of you get a chance to go to France, don't miss this collection. The signage is all in Frence, of course, but the cars speak for themselves.
CORDially Mike
