1959 Pontiac Bonneville Tri-Power Convertible

This 1959 Bonneville Convertible Coupe occupied a coveted niche at the top of the company catalogue. At $3,478, only the Custom Safari Station Wagon cost more. Unmistakable in Cameo Ivory, it has eye-opening leather upholstery in copper, silver, and white, with silver starbursts on each seat. The dashboard has copper padding, and the Copper-hued carpets are sprinkled with glitter that matches the extensive interior bright work. A tan top with a copper boot cover sedately completes the motif.

The engine is the 315 brake horsepower Tri-Power version of Pontiac’s venerable and sturdy 389-cubic inch V-8. With 10.0:1 compression and three Rochester carburetors, it offers up an amazing 425 foot-pounds of torque, and it is coupled to a four-speed Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic transmission. Accessories include the very rare bucket seats, a power top, power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory air conditioning, tri-color leather interior, a day/night mirror,  side view mirror, windshield washers, and a Wonderbar signal-seeking AM radio with power antenna and rear seat speaker.

This Pontiac is much rarer than it 50′s predecessors with only a hand full surviving with tri-power and factory air conditioning. This California Yellow Plate beauty received a correct restoration a few years ago and  is still in show condition.    A true blue chip investment!

1965 Cord 8/10

The brainchild of Glenn Pray, the Cord 810 was developed over several years and first sold to the public in 1966.

The Cord was designed by Gordon Buehrig in his basement as a secret project as to not interfere with his job at Ford Motor Company.  At the request of Henry Ford III, Buehrig abandoned the project and Pray worked directly with US Rubber on the molds.

This is one of six prototype bodies built by US Rubber in 1963. “Royalite” a form of ABS rubber was the product for the project and was used for all production cars from Cord.

A new 1964 Corvair turbocharged engine was mounted in front on the new chassis to accomplish the front wheel drive system like the original Cord. Pray’s partner was a Chevrolet Dealer and sourced the engines from GM for the project.

The complete story is available in the new book  “Glen Pray- The Man who brought the legend to life” by Josh B. Malks

Only 66 cars were built. A true piece of Cord history!!

1911 Packard Model-30 Limousine

This  fabulous 1911 Packard Model-30 Town Car is 101 Years old  It is the ultimate brass era car! All Original!   This amazing car has only had 3 owners since new. Originally owned by the Whitney banking family in New York, the Packard was then given to the family chauffeur who drove it to New Orleans  where the third owner, a 19 year old college student, saw it in a carriage house/barn. He tracked the second owner to a bar in the French Quarter where he acquired it on the spot in 1947.  He said he took his time and spent the next 5 days traveling in the Packard to Houston  with no overheating problems or break downs of any kind. He stated even in 1948 it drew a crowd everywhere he stopped,

The Town Car has been in central Texas ever since,  having been placed in a climate controlled museum. The engine was rebuilt prior to museum display. The upholstery, carpet and paint are all original, except the chauffeurs compartment leather.  It was worn beyond use and was replaced with period black leather. The  mahogany wood work is beautiful and when looking at the undercarriage it’s hard to imagine this car was built over 100 years ago!

The Brass is what sets this car apart from all the rest, when viewing the photos notice all the hinges and most fittings are  Brass, as are the door and grab handles. This car starts with ease and is a pleasure to drive. The car has its license plates from 1914 and 1915 from New York and Louisiana.  In addition the New Orleans city plate from 1914 is attached.

I invite anyone to inspect this great piece of history.
