Let's See Some Glue Bombs!

Monogram '37 Cord, unpainted white molded version ancient buildup, most likely the '60s - 1970 issue judging from how it took me 45 minutes to clean who knows how many years of tobacco tar film off it. A penny short of $15 with shipping, not too far into gluebomb territory. Those headlight covers must have been quite a frustration for the long-ago builder.

Certainly ripe for customizing. Did you guys know Henry Cord's son Edsel Lincoln Cord (everybody called him E.L. for short) secretly made his hot rod Lincoln 1939 prototype as a front wheel drive? I didn't know that, either, but I'll be able to prove it by altering this thing that way.

 

Very cool!

I found this one at last year's Desert Scale Classic, probably the same kit.

 

I'm currently in the process of building it.

Here's a link to the WIP thread if you're interested.

 

 

I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.

Yep, same as a newer re-issue. Been informally following your WIP and Carl Roberts' "Cord with an Audi engine" WIP, too, you guys both sorta reawakened the Edsel Cord idea I'd had rattling around in my head for a while. Eyeballed some of the details in both WIPs to sort out whether the eBay lister of this cheap one was offering a Monogram or the lesser quality Pyro kit version.

Cool.

I'll keep an eye out for it. You always come up with the most fascinating customization ideas.
