Fabulous detail 1930 Duesenberg Beverley sedan.

1936 Cord 810 Armchair Beverly owned by Rich and Debbie Fass.

Quality in every detail. That was the Cord promise and now, with the passage of the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015, that promise could once again be fulfilled. Congress has loosened the reins that have kept small manufacturers, like Cord, from recreating vintage classics from a bygone era. The redacted regulations will allow for a potential small increase in classic replica reproductions and could lead to a bright future for the brand. The quality of the Cord automobile is no longer relegated to the past.

The Auburn Hotel, then and now!

Before the Duesy was fully restored including coachwork, I brought her to several meets including the Auburn Reunion and managed to convince a couple of lovely ladies to join the fun!

This child-size Auburn was parked at the entrance Eckhart Park at the 56th Annual Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club Car Show. I never heard the background story of when and why this was made....

Anyone know more details?

A 1934 Auburn Taxi Cab. Parked in downtown Auburn, Indiana during the 2013 ACD Festival.

"In 1933 E.L. Cord and his associates gained control of the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company and subsidiaries, including the Yellow Cab Co., Checker Taxi Company, Parmalee Transfer and Parmalee Transportation. Thus he owned the largest taxicab factory in the country."
