Not a bad model and far more accurate than Signature's.... 😉 😉 😉 ...and yes, Ertl's gold "aftermarket" air cleaner is quite correct.

I like the blue one a lot Chris! Nice detailing, panel gaps, fit & finish! LOVE the diorama with blue and white cars!!

@perrone1 Agreed, that blue & "pebble beige" look very classy, some-what glamourous. 😎 😎

I have the 1/18 Ertl Cord in a beautiful cream color and a neat Signature version in 1/32 scale and top-up form. They are both gorgeous replica automobiles.

I have always wished someone would do the '37 as the supercharged Beverly coupe.

Was the factory air cleaner an oil bath and then converted to a paper filter system?

I don't know Rich - and I never owned a Cord - but practically every Cord engine has some sort of round "modern air cleaner." Perhaps most have been converted? 🤔 🤔 🤔
