1949 MG TC

The MG-TC was the first Engish sportscar to win the hearts of the  American public.  Many of the TC's were purchased after WW II by American soldiers and imported to the States.  This MG is an export model (XPAG 9050) and was destined for export. 
Finished in BRG (British racing green) and restored over 20 years ago, it is still in excellent condition and shows very little wear.  The only exception being that the tan top has faded.
The TC starts on the first try and drives very well. Every collection should have a TC !!

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!!

1936 Packard 8 cylinder 1404 Phaeton

This very solid Packard 8 Phaeton is benefiting from a BODY-OFF every nut and bolt restoration.  The project was started several years ago by a well known restoration shop.  Sadly, the previous owner of the car could not complete the project. Over $100,000 has been spent to date (invoices available) and that does not include the $100,000 paid for a "ready to drive" great Classic from the late Dee Howard Collection in Texas.
I have simply placed the body on the chassis, bolted it securely, added the fenders, running boards, hood and grille shipment to make shipment easy.  It would take several hours to remove the above.
Please note the chassis is done and beautiful, including a new wiring harness. The body and all panels have been stripped and primed by the restoration shop.  All panels and door fit perfectly.  This was NOT a rusty old car !!!  All chrome is tagged and perfectly redone- ready to mount.  Even the dash was removed and sent out to be regrained. All of the body and door interior wood is original and excellent. A freshly chromed DUAL WINDSHIELD setup is also with the project.
This is an easy project and deserves to be finished.
The enigne is FRESH, and completely rebuilt by a Packard specialist.
Note the 6 wheels have been sandblasted and painted in a beautiful deep green with new tires installed.  Assembly is straight forward because every piece and part of the car- including the bolts are clearly marked and boxed.  The Packard can actually be driven out of my garage for a test drive.  Please call with questions.  Priced to sell NOW at $99,500.

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.
