Here's a very nice accessory only for the person who "really loves" his or her Cord.
It was found by chance earlier this year for sale in Spain on Ebay. It was made by a company called Juvenia in Switzerland in the 1930s. To increase sales they used a number of made up brand names. They is no connection with EL Cord, it was just a coincidence. It is a man's watch. Men's watches have become progressively bigger over time.
What is the time? Cord time ............................ to go for a ride of course!
It really is a GEM.

Steven another little GEM I found on Ebay to use on my Cord which I dearly love is a period tyre or tire pressure gauge from Connersville. Originally it was probably a key ring accessory but what better way to check the tyres of your Cord?

Steve for the "Real Love of Cords and the history of the Auburn Automobile Company" back in 2018 I helped to organise a special meet in Connersville which was the first held there in many years. It was a wonderful success.
During the final dinner the Mayor of Connersville presented me with The Key to the City of Connersville for my contributions. I came close to having a heart attack and being buried in Connersville. That wonderful key and the love shared through it is one of my most treasured posessions. And to top off the celebrations the Mayor also gave me a Connersville City flag which is proudly dispayed in my garage.
