This Cord was purchased by a long-time collector in the Pacific Northwest from the previous owner in Michigan in 1983. Over the next 20+ years it was the subject of a full frame-off restoration to concours show level. This was literally a no-expense-spared project with all components being restored, ebuilt or replaced. A carton of receipts, hotos and documents related to the process testify to the thoroughness of the restoration and enormous amount of money spent to return it to showroom condition. Once completed, he Cord was shown at the Silver Falls, ashington Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Gathering. Other than a few other showings it remained in the owner's climate-controlled garage with his large automobile collection. Today, he odometer shows just 40 miles since restoration. The car appears fresh in all respects. The body, aint and chrome are beautiful. The interior is stunning and looks as if it rolled out of the Cord factory yesterday. The thousand-and-one details that make an exceptional Cord have all been attended-to and the car is a standout on the road and the show field. Mechanically it is excellent.
