The Prototype
Auburn Motor Company succumbed to the Great Depression, and so the 1937 Cord was the last one ever made. The car was designed by Duesenberg with a target audience of the well-to-do. These cars were top-of-the-line in their time.

The Model
This Ertl Collectibles item is a kit of the car (part number 30301) produced in 2000. The kit was easy to assemble, with no glue required. This should also make it easy to disassemble again, should I want to repaint the body.
(it only took about 15 minutes to build the kit)
