Since he wants MOD status in the "other" Cord Forum, I'd say a fair trade is in order.

Do we still not know which car this is? I'm guessing J-232/2261 or J-490X/2519, which was sold to John Troka in Chicago in 1952.

Your being way to kind to me Josh. I thought I'd get more of a backlash than that. But it was a quick response.
By the way I think there should be a change in moderators for the 810-812 forum. I think I would have a lot to offer as moderator. I would be able to give a true and unbiased opinion to the forum readers.

Auburn called the Model 810 "The New Cord". They modestly left out the word "Improved" between "New" and "Cord". :-)

Chris,
When you are referring to a 810-812 you should say "The Other Cord"

Sorry, I meant 810 or 812.

Randy, do you have an ID on this one? I can't find anything in my files that matches up to the dates.

If you are talking about a L-29 Cord Cab. the answer is no. Window is to tall.

Cool picture!

Is that part of the top from a Cord Cabriolet on the floor by the Duesenberg's running board?

The car next to the Duesenberg is an 810 or 812 Cord sedan.

Duesenberg sedan, ca 1951 was created by Angelo Van Bogart
Found this and a couple other Duesenberg photos in Minnesota last fall. I have it filed away, but if I remember correctly, the back of the photo says "Chicago, 1951" (might be 1948, so don't hold me to it). Methinks it's a Derham Arlington-style sedan. What's the car next to it?
Anyways, I thought other ACD-ers might enjoy seeing it. I hope it pastes in OK. If not, send me hate mail. I hope to put some of the other pics on my blog at www.oldcarsweekly.com and here in the future.
