I would appreciate any comments on this so that I can make a good reproduction.

Curt I hope you received the private email I sent you.
Regarding the tool bag roughly scaling it the Cord wheel wrench probably just fitted diagonally in the bag along with the rest of the tools supplied and quite possibly the jack mechanism. The jack base and shaft were strapped in place under the back of the spare wheel in the trunk. For economics it makes sense to put the tools in one bag and the Factory was certainly counting the pennys.
Thanks again,
Terry

Thanks Curt, I may have pressed the wrong button as an UNTHANK YOU note came up.
It would make sense to use the same tool bag as the Auburn.
Cheers,
Terry

Pete I am only going by the printed information I have. Check out the reply further down the page. This sheet came from Newsletter No 2, 1972 and it says early type jack. A bottle jack was supplied with later cars.
One can only conclude that the Custom Beverly was an early late production car or maybe somebody just added the jack along the way ............................................. who knows?
Besides so far nobody seems to know what was definitely inside the Cord tool kit.

From Terry
Terry says the "early Cord jack" was of the threaded rod variety but only used on the early cars. That pic he shows is of my jack that came from a very original S/C custom beverly.

This is an original 34-36 Auburn tool bag. I would suspect Cords would be the same.

Thanks Terry. So the canvas tool bag was made from the same material as the gas filler neck. That helps...

Hi Gary, I do not think the wrench you have had anything to do with a Cord except that it just happens to fit the wheel bolts.
Attached is another information sheet that I have. It describes the jack and wrench as being supplied to early production cars and then a screw jack was supplied to later cars.

Well it fits but...Appearantly this probably is NOY an original wrench.I power wire buffed it to find these numbers and part maker.Might be towards the end of ACD "they " had to find another company that would supply parts waiting for payment later. Who knows. Mine looks different from this one you posted pics of Terry.

Terry here are the lug wrnch demensions as found. Am not positive this is an original but... It came with the car and fits the lug bolts. Untill I saw what you posted pics of I always thought the wrench HAD to be longer for leverage. Enjoy.


Gary Parsons

Just finished some digging thru my collection of pictures from ACD members about original bumper jacks. Found this..

Terry I can post a picture with demensions later today about my lug wrench. I believe I have the exact wrench you have pictured. I thought the lug wrench was actually much longer and had a chiesel end to it.

Cord Tool Kit and Roll was created by Terry Cockerell
After finding the attached picture of a Cord tool kit and roll on the Internet I decided to replicate one however I have a few questions.
1. What are the overall dimensions of an original tool roll when laid out flat?
2. Are the tools shown in the attached picture correct ?
3 What does the outside of the tool roll look like?
4. The wheel bolt spanner in the middle of the roll appears to be about 1 ft long. Where as I have other information that shows the spanner to be 16" long.
I would appreciate any comments on this so that I can make a good reproduction.
Thanks,
