Hi guys and gals. I am the owner of Serial #1 of the Glenn Pray Cord. My Granddad was one of the initial investors in said company. He was the owner of #3, which is still in my family, unfortunately on blocks somewhere in Dallas, and belongs to my uncle. My car was bought at the Kruse auction in '73, with 3000 miles or so on it!!! My car is not currently running, but do plan on getting it together this winter. I have the powerplant out, rebuild coming soon. It's gonna get paint too it looks like, needs it bad, as it's just flaking off the wonderful plastic body!!! Granddad wrote what is probably the ultimate history of the Pray/Mckinley Cord that was published in the August 1972 issue of Cars and Parts magazine. I have copies if anyone is interested. Please feel free to contact me, as I get this little piece of history back in motion. It's kind of neat to see the pictures of me and my little sister on the fenders of Grandad's car when I was six years old, in front of the house the me and my family live in today!!! I look forward to talking to you all in the cord, and/or corvair community Jeff Bauer 618-780-2380 waterskz@sbcglobal.net
A friend has an 8/10 Cord (Turbo Corvair)up here in Washington -the state- I keep suggesting he trade for one of my cars. Hasn't happened yet. I'll look for a picture and post it.
