Cord In A Junkyard

Alsancle, I do not know, as I could not get closer to the cars due to 4 hungry dogs which were on duty, and I cannot check it anymore as I am in Switzerland and was in OKC in September visiting friends (after having been at the Auburn reunion). If you want to know you could phone the ROD shop at 405 631 3544. Mario

Is that a Samco next to it?

Does anyone know if this one has been saved?

Hi.

This being a bump-trunk, wouldn't Bendix brakes be expected? Isn't Bendix braking a '37 standard issue item? Other than re-numered cars, of course.

Notice the Bendix rear backing plates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To my understanding, this is a current picture, not from the past. It would be a shame to see this Cord destroyed.

What in in the body under the hood? Looks like there may be a few doors buried there.

Did anyone notice the S/C hood inside the body shell???????????????

The thing is these yards went so quickly. When we would browse over the hundreds of Packards and Buicks and no one wanted them, I went back and they were all sold for metal to send Japan.

There is a picture of a Cord Sedan in a Junkyard over on the Hamb Board.

Sounds like it's about to be destroyed and it doesn't look all that bad.

This old yard is NOW in the early stages of winding down. (That usually starts slowly, THEN suddenly ALL the yard is gone!)
