Yup - 

how many of these cuties did Cord produce / sell ??

Andy - about 5000 were built. About 150 still exist. The car I am modelling is the only one in this body style and it "disappeared". I have not been able to find out how it disappeared. Returned to the factory and used to be rebuilt in a different body style? Stolen? Big mystery. Two replicas of it have been built.

Woodlites! These are the only thing I did not design. They were purchased from Ditomaso147 on Cults3d: 🚗 Woodlite headlight with separated lense・ STL File for 3D printing・Cults . However, they were not correct - the lens had too sharp a "V" at the bottom. I emailed the designer about changing it to a better design and within an hour he responded. The next day he sent me the improved design - a broader, fuller lower "bucket" and an "eyebrow" over the lens. It was much improved. He has several thousand designs, check them out; I'm certain you will be satisfied with his service, too.

It is time for a bit of touchup and light sanding.

Lovely looking classic car.thread

I have been following this thread and it makes a nice change from all those customised and rodded models that dominate on this forum.
