Bakersfield yesterday and bring one back. 10 hrs in a jeep on hwy 5 is not good for the back or the teeth!
Wes, I always liked that picture of your in your Cord. But do send Bill the other ones you sent me. The ones on the grass. I'm going to need some new ones for the updated web-page. I would like to use some of yours. Also, Wes, don't let the "lookie loos" get your goat! Like Chris said: Most folks don't know what their looking at. I always have to smile when I tell them that its a Cord replica, and they come back with, "oh, you mean like a Honda!" If you want to have some fun, go to a grocery store parking lot, take two spaces, put the top down and get out your cell phone and maybe a map and pretend you're lost. Watch the crowd gather, while their ice cream melts, and listen to the positive remarks. Some of the woman may even want to sit in the car. I think its a Ladies car anyway.

Good looking Cord! Perhaps it's the wide stance of the wheels or the height of the car that gives it away. More likely, the reason is that these cars are SO rare that folks are just plain curious. They may believe it to be real and just want to see the transmission, etc.
We are always interested in the many flavors of Cords around here. More than a few of our Club's members have experimented with replicas and fiberglass replacement parts over the years. The Club has no problem with replicas as long as they are not mis-represented.
Why not send some pictures of your Dad's Cord to us and we'll get them posted.
We're lucky to have cars that folks want to copy! How many Nash replicas have you seen lately
Send your photos to: <a href="mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url] Be sure to send some under the hood photos too.

I never expect anyone to be an expert on the cars at a car show and almost always have a 8"x10" form on the windshield telling about the car. I always try to inform people about the car and as our cars are fairly close representations of the originals, the public gets to see what they look like up close.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's getting to drive the cars, working on the cars, and hearing the stories about the cars that makes me want to take them out. I can understand not wanting to take something worth sooo much out. We've had some pretty hairy experiences driving our "modern" ACD cars around--there are some really bad drivers out there. One of the reasons we have the cars we have is they can be driven, and above all, they aren't your run-of-the-mill 32 Ford!

As for the inspectors... :rolleyes: It may be a replica but HEY, at least you're actually DRIVING it...which is more than can be said for some owners of the real thing.

I don't have the picture on my computer, but there are a couple of people "inspecting" the car!
