Yeah, I did read the story. That’s why I asked the question. The article says the car went missing in 1937, but doesn’t give any info about where it’s been since that time, or how it ended up in the present owner’s possession. The article is poorly written.

She went missing in 1937,not the car.

Thanks for your reply. Too bad the author couldn’t be bothered to do the proper research in order to write an article worthy of publication.

Wake me up when they find her Lockheed Electra and Cord Convertible.

1932 Terraplane

Long ago I knew a mechanic who was WW2 vet who spent most of the war working on US and British army vehicles in Europe. He said they called the Terraplanes that came out later just before the war TERRIBLE pains, because the clutch and shift mechanisms were a vacuum-electric set up, like a precursor to automatic transmissions. It looked good on paper, but in practice not very reliable.

We saw some of those Cords at the Auburn Museum in Indiana. They were beautiful cars years ahead of their time, and went for over 4k a YYYYUUUGE amount of $$$$ back then.

That’s a beauty. Glad they recovered it.
