577 Yonge Street is on the East side of the street and is now Boutique Seduction Love. All the myths of Duesenberg J103 stolen from the O'Donnell and Mackie dealership after Van Horne?s death are related to this location. If anyone knows when O'Donnell and Mackie moved to the Bay St. location, I'm interested.

CORDially, Mike


So it is. How did I miss that???? I blame finals. Need sleep.

Hi, I could not find the image JBA363 in the Auburn section of the collection.

I found JBA792 on page 3 of the Auburn gallery and it looks like a 810 Cord right front quarter with sidemounts.

Member Robert Armstrong of Waterloo, Ontario, pointed out to me that he thought the O'Donnell-Mackie dealership looked familiar.

Type "577 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON" into Google Maps to see the building as it stands today. Home to, as far as I can tell, a tattoo parlor, a travel agency, and a health food store. Google Maps says it's home to "Boutique Seduction Love." <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

1027 Bay Street apparently no longer exists; there is a plaza where it should be.

Jim,

There is a photo of both O'Donnell and Mackie in the J Brockman Collection - L29 Archive, Photo JBA363. You will find a photo of the dealership in the Misc Archive, Photo JBA12.

Thanks very much Mike, that adds another piece to the puzzle. I'm glad you remember all this stuff that was in the Newsletter, I'll start digging a reread the article.

Know Name or address??? was created by
I recently purchased a piece of Cord literature with the name
AD ODonnell (I'm not sure on the middle initial)
1027 Bay Street

Does anyone have any idea who Mr. ODonnell was?
Or where the address may have been?
