I'm putting a DVD in the mail to you today showing a side trip to Carbon, Wyoming that Don Mates and Lee Foldenauer and I took in my Cord 810 a few years ago, on our way to Auburn from California.
Please return when you're done.
Is this the famous movie that was played downtown that I missed <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->

It's especially gratifying when younger folk ask questions and express their love of the design and asthetics, as well as interest in the cars' history. Most younsters are fans of modern compact cars and as us older folk literally die off, many cars and information die with us.
I have laminated a written brief history of Cords and their contribution to the modern cars of today, and always display this with my car. Many people have thanked me for this, saying that they wish more people would do so with other vintage and classic cars. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Its a pity you can't join us this next weekend in Auburn, I suspect you'd enjoy it, especially the Ninth & Main festivities.
Perhaps we'll see you there one year.

On my way home from a cruise in last Monday, while at a stop light, I had a woman ask if the car was a Rolls Royce. Took me a bit aback, as I'd never had anyone mistake it for one of those before.
I will allow I found it preferable to the usual "what model Ford is that?"!

It is important to make them visible as a benefit to American culture and a broader historical context. Our nation's economy for the 20th century was largely automotive.
I'll never forget seeing and hearing a Duesenberg for the first time. It was a Phaeton. It drove by at about 60 mph. My dad threw me into the Rambler and we followed, watching, listening. A few miles down the road, the driver stopped for ice cream and showed us the engine and features of the car. Then, and only then, did I truly understand the difference between it and our neighbor's Model A Ford, aside from size. I was only 6 at the time.
To quote Dennis Adler, in his book, Duesenberg,
A Duesenberg is a chassis and engine...the coachwork was no different than a bespoke suit on ones own body.
Such appreciation I'd apply to Auburns and Cords as well. Two weeks ago I experienced the same feeling in Carmel, seeing and hearing a '31 L-29, '36 Auburn 852 Speedster, and a Murphy Convertible Coupe. That supercharger whine and low engine hum...unforgettably wonderful.

Regarding the comment made above about being the only ACD car at a local show. Three weeks ago we had a local show (a rather large one) and we had 17 ACD cars on the field.

There's Pebble Beach Cars and ACD "correct" cars, then Trailer Queens and drivers. There are cars that appeal to all different types of owners.
Some guys like cars that are beautiful works-of-art that are never driven while others like to drive their cars cross-country year after year.
That beings up the notion of "saving something for the next guy." In my opinion cars should be driven but not to the point that they are needlessly being worn out. I think they should be on the road around town so everyone can enjoy them. Other than the once-in-a-lifetime cross-country trip, I don't think that our 70-year old cars should be worn out with highway miles. Let's leave something for the next guy! The ACD members a 100 years from now are really going to have their hands full...
We have about 2000 members, so there are 2000 opinions out there. I want to hear yours! I'll be on 9th street on Friday to hear your opinions firsthand, but in the meantime, why not answer our poll?
See you all at the 51st Reunion!
