[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3596530, member: 40561"] Welp here's a few to wet your whistle. Many of the cars moving forward are million+ dollar cars. Auburn Cord Duesenberg has a very cool history that many dont know about but if you like the looks of the cars, you should look it up. They were innovators and ahead of their time in many aspects. Some of their creations are still in use today. Last tidbit, is the company folded in 1937 but the factory remained in Auburn, IN and was filled with parts. In 1963, Glenn Pray bought everything they had and moved it to Broken Arrow, OK and began building continuation cars from leftover parts (there were 700,000lb of parts). They are still operational, although Glenn has passed...his son Doug now runs the operation...so there is somewhat of a quirky Oklahoma connection here. [ATTACH=full]210625[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210626[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210630[/ATTACH] The 812 coupe here was owned by Robert Stranahan of the Champion Spark Plug Co. and the developer of the idea of full-service gas stations. (The Stranahan car) has external headlights and round ports on the exhaust rather than the long trim as on the other 812s. Side note, Cord 812's with side pipes on the hood were Supercharged versions. [ATTACH=full]210631[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
