Bruce, your 550 would look great beside these cars. When do you think it will be on the road?

Paul...I'm sorry that I don't have a good handle on completion time yet. Once Greg finishes up the front and rear suspension, then he (and I) will have a better handle on this. Obviously I have anxiety leaking out my pores right now but at the same time, I'm trying to enjoy it as an adult by making believe as though I was 6 yrs old waiting for Christmas Day ! Ha Ha ! I will bring it home on a truck to do a lot of the detail work such as fitment of all the exterior stuff and all the wiring. Then it will go back to Greg and then back to Outfront for final dyno tuning and check out. I'm still deciding on the brakes and color right now. I still have plenty of time for that. ......Bruce

Wow, lots of busy work. Great fun though.

That is one eclectic assortment of exquisite automobiles! The one that stands out the most (to me anyway) is the Cord 810/812.

I’ve always admired those. Something about a HUGE pre-WWII steel behemoth with a front wheel drive V-8 never disappoints!

I have no idea how to tell if the Cord is a replica or not. Maybe it has a pull up handbrake and the speedometer is in the wrong place.

The Samco Cord replicas had different headlights that were exposed and the windshield was different.

Nice flames on the black one.
