During the final dinner the Mayor of Connersville presented me with The Key to the City of Connersville for my contributions. I came close to having a heart attack and being buried in Connersville. That wonderful key and the love shared through it is one of my most treasured posessions. And to top off the celebrations the Mayor also gave me a Connersville City flag which is proudly dispayed in my garage.

It was found by chance earlier this year for sale in Spain on Ebay. It was made by a company called Juvenia in Switzerland in the 1930s. To increase sales they used a number of made up brand names. They is no connection with EL Cord, it was just a coincidence. It is a man's watch. Men's watches have become progressively bigger over time.
What is the time? Cord time ............................ to go for a ride of course!
It really is a GEM.

A few years ago I came across the attached pictures on the Internet which were listed as being a 1940 Hupmobile hand made prototype.

on the pictured car the cord hood looks to be integrated very well into the rest of body. much better done than amateur work.

Attached is a picture of a similar Cord in the Brockman Collection.
It may possibly be the same car with further hood vent modifications?

I found this little GEM on the Internet recently. On the front it says "CONNERSVILLE INDIANA" and on the opposite side it says "AUTO PARTS CO". We don't know exactly when it was made however it has some age to it.
I suppose it could also be used by Auburn owners who love their cars.

i found these listed on ebay. apparently, a few of each were hand created by altering the familiar pressed steel cars. the company was called new era toys. marvin silverstein was the owner. these were created 20 years back.

i found this on the central michigan craigslist (sept 2019). although, it is a bit of an ugly duckling, you can see considerable time was put in here. obviously, a cord fan.
it is built up from a chevy s-10 .

Gordon Buehrig and his team got it right the first time. The world would be a boring place with out our 810 and 812 Cords.
I rest my case.
