FLASHBACK: One of the trinity of Duesenberg, Auburn and Cord. I took this pic long ago, of Ertl's 1/18 Cord outdoors in front of a 16x20 enlarged, B&W photograph of the Pennsylvania RR station in Scranton.

A long-time favorite in my collection as well. Since the background is B&W:

A superb image of this Cord diecast, Patty ! I have the same color replica from Ertl and it is an all-time favorite. One can only imagine driving around in a real one back in the day .......

Nice ! A real time-warp image and certainly a beautiful automobile that you don't often see driving around out on the roads.
