About ten years ago I came across this film by chance on You Tube. I was absolutely delighted to see a grey Cord sedan with dark blue fenders glide across the screen instantly recognizing it as my car. It also appears a few more times in the film. A Canadian by the name of William Horning owned it at the time. Contacting Garth Brooks for further information on the event he supplied a copy of the booklet put out on it. Included was a picture of my Cord coming off the ferry at Manitowoc. The one way trip from West Nyack to Milwaukie was 1,300 miles ....................... with FREE gas. No wonder people refer to the Good Old Days.I wonder how many of the other cars participating in the event have survived?I'm located in Australia. I imported the Cord in 2007, then eventually restored it.The second picture was taken in Auburn Indiana during the Second Reunion in 1957, the best part it that the Cord's famous body designer Gordon Buehrig was there too. https://youtu.be/1F5Fy72fmG8?si=vkw2PB000JIiZGKZ

The top picture looks like the 1 of 1 Brewster Henley on the PIII chassis.
