The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Looking at the production figures sheet that Curt supplied makes me wonder exactly when my Cord which has serial No 810 1586A was assembled ?
The first 810 Cord came off the production line on January 31st 1936, this car had Serial No 810 1101
From the production sheet 450 cars were made between January and the end of March. If the ID plates were added numerically the last one assembled in March was Serial No 810 1551. My car was sold on April 9th in Toronto. I can't believe that my car was assembled in early April then sold in Toronto on April 9th but maybe it was ?
We celebrate its birthday on April 9th. My Cord has Serial No 810 1586A

I suppose the key point is the foundry. As the engine factory continued to machine the blocks and assemble engines were they just using up the inventory of blocks or were more cast elsewhere. There must have been a considerable lead time casting engine blocks, hence a reasonable stock pile. I sent a request to the Williamsport Museum but have not received any information of significance.

What type of engines were being made until 1938 ?
