Looks interesting how someone adapted the front suspension from a differant car to the original stub frames. May have cut off the trans mount are. I wonder if the trans cover was part of this modification too. I sure would have liked to see this car about 40 years ago when hopefully it had most of the bright parts. Time has really worn down this once great car. Not sure is any amount of money can "bring this one back". I will always remember this car and try to save all these pics to my hard drive and on paper. History should never be destroyed or forgotten.

Thanks for the great pic of the original Aerotherm name tag too.I do not have one on my original heater so will be looking for one. I recall Stan has one in the catalog.
My heater came off the firewall with a thick piece of cardboard under it with a hole template of where to drill holes to mount it. I posted pics of this a few years ago.
Still very sad to see ANY car look like this. I would have been interested in the cowl vent area but.. I saw a cowl vent on the rear trunk area and guess this "came off" with very little action. So the cowl between the windshield and hood probably is rusted thru and not any good to me. But insterested to see pics of it anyway.

I had an opportunity to see this Cord this past weekend. It isn't a restorable Cord. I was unable to find the ID plate for the serial number and believe it has been removed.
The car is a 1937 Cord SC Beverly Sedan. (It had a 150 mph speedometer.) I suspect this was a custom Beverly as there is evidence of a divider in the interior and two of the door sills were much longer. The color was Orchard Green with a green interior. It has a Chrysler 324 Spitfire engine (complete) and rear wheel drive. I could not find anything of the SC engine nor transmission. It had to be a stunning Cord 812 in it's day.
The owner of the car would like it removed from the property. It is sitting next to a 1950's Kaiser that is mostly complete and restorable. The gentleman that has the car has made arrangements for a salvage/scrapyard to come in about two months to haul the cars away, once the leaves have dropped for fall. If you have a serious interest in removing this car, I am more than happy to pass on the contact information. Some of the body panels may be useful, the front stub frame appears intact, and the B pillars are present.
What the gentleman who owns the car does not want is someone calling just to see the car or inquires in reference to a specific part. He is very serious about having someone come and remove the car from the property. If you have such an interest, please let me know and I will pass on the contact information.
Hope the attached photos are useful. This Cord was at one time a truly beautiful Cord.
Cheers,
John Meredith

Already got an email off to him and hope to hear soon. Do you know where the car is located? This could really help with the restoration.
Cheers,
John

Hi Mike:
I don't have any interest as I am an Auburn guy. I can post this on the ACD website for you with your email address.
Cheers
