My dad drove his 812 SC from Massachusetts to Auburn 3 straight years from 68-70. Never had a problem.

Last weekend I put a couple of miles on my 1937 Cord SC Custom Beverly! It hasn't been on the road for over 50 years. What an experience.

Excellent! Are you planning to bring at least one to Auburn next year?

My mechanic had my supercharged Cord running and drove it ten miles before putting it away for the winter. Progress is being made!

Talk to Josh Malks about his "Moonshadow" (and its predecessors). It's a '36 but same difference.

I like to drive my cars. Packard's, Cadillacs and others are all a joy to drive. Can 37 Cords be made the same? I have two that have been in the family for years and would love to get them on the road, provided they won't regularly leave me stranded. I'm looking for your input, warnings, horror stories, advice and vendors for parts and repairs to get these wonderful cars on the road again.
