I opted to travel light this afternoon and took these with my phone's camera...I have a Droid Razor MaxxHD with an 8.2mp camera and was shooting with the HDR mode. My apologies to all P&Sers' and DSLRers'... Hope you enjoy them.

The one you did not know but want one anyway, is a Cord. I think a 1936 or 37 Cord 810/812?

Nice work, great photos. :thumbup:

The 'longest car" is a "60 or '61 Caddy. And yes the other question car is a Cord.

My guess too, or maybe a replica; I used to see a few of them around NYC when I worked there.

Thanks for looking. The car in question was an original, although I'm sure there was some restoration involved. There were a lot of great cars there. The car in question and the '56 Cadillac Eldorado were my favorites. There were some beautiful Bel Airs too, including a 'wagon' model.

The 5th photo down is that of a 1937 Cord Supercharged Beverly sedan, but from its appearance I believe itis a replica rather than an original car.

We were at a car show recently and the '56 Caddy caught my wife's attention. She liked the reflection in the bumper bullet.
