Three Cords and a Tucker. The Cords were made in the late 1930s, the Tucker in the mid 1940. I used a 18mm lens to exaggerated the front of the Tucker.

A guy by name of Glen prey. Bought out all rights to Auburn Cord Deusenberg in the 60" s brought every thing back to broken arrow okla. Until 2002 you could still get one built. I think it was 2002. They were having get together about once every 5 years. Glen passed about 5 6 years back. American pickers came there. You maybe able to find an archive of it. Glen was really a great guy to just be around. Really miss him.

Nice shots. Cars would have to be my favorite "non-nature" photo subject.

Thank you so very very much, I greatly enjoyed reading it, especially since I had no idea of their History.

Thank you very much Dennis, I love to go to Car Shows and take pictures, especially the front grills, they are a piece of art in my eyes.
