Our 1936 Cord 810 Westchester Sedan is our newest project.  This is an original survivor.  We purchased this car in January of 2006 from Mr. Hal Klassen of British Columbia, Canada.  He had owned it since 1972.  Cords were made by the Auburn Automobile Company, as were Auburns and the famed Duesenbergs.  The 1936-37 "Coffin-nose" Cords are true classics and have earned the title as one of the ten most beautiful cars ever produced.  Fewer that 3000 of these Cords were built (with only about 2400 staying in the U.S.) before the company quit the car business during the Depression.  Cords were remarkable in that they have hidden flip-up headlights, front wheel drive and offered superchargers for their Lycoming V-8 motors.  Originally owned by movie stars and the CEOs of large companies, fewer than a thousand of these rolling pieces of art remain.  Most are in museums.  This one is driven at least once a week and has made many runs to church, the post office and even Wal-Mart.

1936 Cord 810 Westchester

Our 1934 Auburn 652Y sedan was originally sold in York, Penn.  The first buyer owned the car until 1983.  We bought the car from Mike Haley four years ago.  It was brought to Texas from Ohio in January of 2005.  Auburns were known for their flashy paint and dynamic styling.  This car has a 6-cylinder Lycoming engine, a three-speed transmission and dual-ratio rear end.  It is one of twenty-six 652Y sedans left in the world.  It is driven at least once a week.
