Have you driven a CORD lately?

One of my favorite cars.... a 1929 L-29 Cord
Seen in Auburn, Indiana on a chilly October/November afternoon

In front of the Local Library - Eckhart Library


A private home in a Frank Lloyd Wright style


Spencerville, Indiana covered bridge


Rather not have the NEW vehicle in the shot...


Inside the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum


another L-29 in the Museum

Cygnus Studios

That is a sweet ride.

Again I have to say, I am sooooooooo not into cars,
but every now and then one really takes my eye,
and this is one of those occassions

Very stylish.... yup I could see many a bride on her way to her wedding in that car.
Now I'd like to see that one parked in my garage I like it so much
I love the second shot .... Skippy

That shot is just killer. The contrast between old and modern. The colors of the leaves. The use of foreground.

Very good photos David

I'm still thinking about the hawks and being camera-less :cry :cry :cry

Thanks! I'm glad we took the photo early on during the day. It started to rain later and the whitewalls became blackwalls with the dirt and grime.

I entered 3 photos from that shoot at a local contest. They entered me in group shots and I think I took home a 2nd place. Should have done a bigger print of the L-29 and entered it by itself.

Ditto to merc's comment--that old/modern shot is outstanding! Can definitely see it in large print on a wall--like in that library in your first shot!

Thanks for sharing--this was fun!

Thank you for the comments! I should order a big print of it, right now all I have is a 5x7 sitting by my computer to daydream at.

Great shots! I've always loved that era in automibile manufactureing. #1 could have come straight from 1929 if the newer cars weren't visible in the left background. #2 is definitely the best .
