The next chapter in the story

This blog will be the "official" statement of record for the restoration of my 1937 Cord Custom Beverly, Serial # FB2191.

I purchased the car in late 2008 from Bill Hummel, oldest grandson of E.L. Cord. Bill is the web master of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg club and has been wonderful in helping me source parts.

Originally, FB2191 was Geneva Blue, but was painted Rich Maroon with burgundy interior during its latest restoration.

Bill was thoughtful enough to take many pictures of FB2191, which I have posted here. As I begin the repair and restoration, I will update the archive with additional pictures.

Scott, I am glad that you have given my Custom Beverly a new lease on life. It is a significant car and will provide you with many years of enjoyment.

As a side note: I am the oldest of the Grandchildren of E.L. and Virginia Cord.

Thanks Bill -- I've corrected the entry.
