    That right there would qualify as a chic magnet

    Had the pleasure to drive the replica version with a big block Ford in it. Too say it was fun to drive was an understatement, but getting in was apain in the a$$. I would assume that goes for the original also.

    That has suicide doors which for some reason make it seem awkward for me to get in and out.

    I was hoping for shots of the engine bay and was not disappointed. If I had to choose between the Cord and the most beautiful woman in the world, I'd pick the Cord.

    I would not be surprised, Ben.

    I remember seeing a movie wherein a teen works hard, amassing money, buys a Cord and his family pretty much disowns him for such a "foolish" purchase. Well, he keeps that Cord in pristine condition and sells it for 1 Million $ in a few decades. Thus, he goes from being On The Bottom to being On The Top.

    Can't remeber that movie. IIRC he collected paintings, books, etc that at the time weren't worth a lot.

    Yeah, sounds like the one. I've never run across it and cannot remember who starred in it or the title.
