Nice, Cord's are stunning cars
Love the Hidden headlamps, decades ahead of the pack.
Is this a 1940's ?i thought the hupmobiles didn't have the headlights. this would have to be a 37 because cord went out of business after building 3000 of these
(a good number of which were supercharged - the first such car)

Hi
I am not a petrolhead, but you are right, it's a 1937 Berverly Supercharged.
From my limited knowledge of these things I think Daimler Benz did incorporate a "Kompressor", as they called it, into some supercharged models late in the 19th century.
As I said, not a petrolhead, but I do like these old cars. I only have a two car garage, can you imagine if i had a three... I could...

Thanks and greetings

Hi
Thanks. The big bulbous mudguards were just begging to be photographed from a worm perspective.

Thanks and greetings

It was a 3 day antique car expo organised by the RACV (Royal Automobil Club of Victoria). The venue: Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne. The building itself is an antique.
