dealer from Flint, Michigan, boughtsome of the remaining assets whichincluded the complete parts inventoryof for Auburn, Duesenbergs and Cordautomobiles. The price was $85,000plus an additional $25,000 for the Au-burn administration building. Thus, theAuburn-Cord-Duesenberg Companywas formed. ACD Co. continued tooffer parts and service from the Au-burn, Indiana facility throughout the1940s and 50s.
In 1960, Glenn Pray, a school teacherwho was a big Cord enthusiast, boughtthe remaining assets of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company from DallasWinslow and moved them to a vacantpickle factory in Broken Arrow, Okla-homa. This would continue to bePray's base of operations into the fu-ture. The venture was financed in partby an associate named WayneMcKinley.
Glenn Pray probably could have pros-pered by simply selling parts for theseclassic cars, but he had higher ambi-tions. He wanted to begin building rep-licas of them for paying customers.And to make his dream come true, hepicked the boldest, most beautiful ofthem all. The Cord 810. While retain-

headlights added to its sleek appear-ance. The back of the car was equallyclean, with flush mounted tail lights.The aerial for the radio was a grid,mounted on the bottom of the car whereit couldn't be seen. The fuel cap anddoor hinges were hidden. And insteadof a conventional chrome grill for theradiator, it had horizontal slats wrap-ping around its box-shaped hood. Itbecame known as the "coffin-nose"Cord. The styling team was led byGordon Buehrig, whose career spannedinto the 1960s and who is also creditedfor his work on the 1956-57 LincolnMark II coupe.
Like most radical designs, the Cord 810had teething problems that sullied itsreputation. It was offered for only twoyears, 1936 and 1937. In its secondyear, it was accompanied by a super-charged version - the Cord 812, butsales remained in the tank. The Reces-sion of 1937-38 didn't help. Productionwas suspended and the body dies weresold. But the coffin-nose Cord was notforgotten. It was an instant classic.
Glenn Pray’s Dream.
When the Auburn Automobile Com-pany declared bankruptcy in 1937, aman named Dallas Winslow, a Buick
This is a short story about the Corvair-powered Cord 8/10 Sportsman replicar,announced to the press in September1964 and manufactured by the CordAutomobile Company through 1966. Itwas an 8/10ths scale replica of the im-mortal coffin-nose Cords producedback in the 1930s.
The Sensational Cord 810 of 1936.
The original Cord 810 created a sensa-tion when it first appeared at the NewYork Auto Show in November 1935.Unlike earlier classic American cars,this was not a limousine to be pilotedby a haughty chauffeur. That kind ofcar went out of fashion with the GreatDepression. No, the Cord 810 wasmeant to be driven by the owner; adriver's car.
Like the wildly successful Miller Indycars, it had front wheel drive. It waspowered by a Lycoming V8 - a sistercompany that made aircraft engines. Ithad an electrically-operated Wilsonpre-selector gearbox. The instrumentpanel was filled with gauges. And itwas so sleek, so low.
Nobody had ever seen a car like this.In the front, it had pontoon fenders,much like an airplane. Retractable

Glenn Pray used NOS Cord parts for his 8/10 replicas. Rock-n-roll promoter Dick Clark owned a Cord 8/10!
Many but not all Cord 8/10’s had side pipes. All Cord 8/10s were two-seaters. 100 inch wheelbase.

suspension, and pads for the body. Theframe weighed about 400 pounds.Nevertheless, the entire car was ratherlight in weight at 2,100 pounds.
Plastic Body Beauty.
It would have been more authentic ifthe 8/10's body was made of steel, likethe original. But there was no way thiswould be financially feasible for asmall upstart like Glenn Pray. He had
by upper and lower control arms. Pon-toon fenders don't leave much space forsprings, so Pray's engineers specifiedlongitudinal torsion bars, just like thoseon Chrysler products of that time. Atthe rear, there was a beam axle locatedby trailing arms and a Panhard rod.
Like its predecessor, the 8/10 had aconventional steel frame consisting oflong box sections running front to rear,cross-members, mounting points for the
ing his interests in ACD, Glenn Prayand several inventors established a newentity to design, manufacture and sellthe replicas.
What's Inside?
It was important to Glenn Pray that hisreplica be a front-wheel drive car, justlike the original. But during the plan-ning stages, no front wheel drive carswere being built in America. TheOldsmobile Toronado had not yet ar-rived. Mr. Pray had to get creative.Luckily, Chevrolet was still producingCorvairs at that time.
The original Cord 810 had a unitarypower train, meaning that the engine,transmission and differential were allbolted together as a single assembly,with the transmission in the front, dif-ferential in the middle and engine at therear, just like the Corvair Uni-Packpower train. So, it was natural thatGlenn Pray would select the Corvairpower train as the basis for his replicaof the original car. It was simply a mat-ter of positioning the Corvair powertrain up-front instead of at the rear.
The next challenge was to design thesuspension. The original Cord 810 hadindependent front suspension with halfshaft axles. To enable the front wheelsto steer as well as transmit power to theroad, the axles were equipped with Car-dan joints instead of simple universaljoints. Aside from that, the suspensionwas simple: Nothing but one trailingarm on each side. Springing was pro-vided by a transverse leaf secured to thechassis in the middle and connected tothe outboard ends of the right and lefttrailing arms. It could be argued that aDeDion setup as found on the earlier L-29 Cord may have been a sturdier ar-rangement. In the rear, the originalCord 810 had a simple beam axle sus-pended on semi-elliptic leaf springs,like a Dodge minivan.
Glenn Pray's replica was more modernin the suspension department. Like theoriginal, it had independent front sus-pension with half shafts, but instead oftrailing arms, each wheel was located

name of the new company was SportsAutomobile Manufacturing Company.SAMCO produced 13 more Cord 8/10Sportsman cars, probably to use up ex-isting supplies, and then introduced twonew Cord replicars. Known as theCord Warrior and Cord Royale, theywere nowhere near as faithful to theoriginal Cord design of the 1930s. Ap-parently, the car-buying public didn'tcare. They bought 400 of the them, sosales were much better than GlennPray's 8/10 Sportsman. Nevertheless,around 1974, SAMCO made a decisionwas made to produce motorhomes in-stead of Cords and Cords were pro-duced no more.
Meanwhile, after leaving the CordCompany, Glenn Pray started yet an-other venture - to build replicas of Au-burn Speedsters. Production continuedfrom 1968 into 1981. Concurrently,Pray's Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Com-pany continued to sell parts and ser-vices for the original cars built in the1930s. Glenn Pray passed away in2011. ACD Co. is now owned by hisson, Doug Pray.
From time to time, investors announcedplans to introduce yet another versionof the classic Cord 810, but none wereever built in any quantities. On orabout November 25, 2016, another en-trepreneur announced plans to buildCord replicas. Maybe so, but they cer-tainly won't be powered by Corvair!

they were fixed to rolling chassis unitsthat were assembled by Pray's staff.The rest of the work was performedthere, at Pray's workshop.
Glenn Pray and his people did their bestto use commonly-available partsthroughout to ease maintenance andrepair for future owners. Of course,some of the parts were unique, like theNOS Cord instrument panel with itsfull complement of gauges. Aside fromit's smaller size, the Cord 8/10 was afitting tribute to the original car.
Rave Reviews.
Car magazines like Motor Trend andAutomobile Quarterly gave reviewswhen the Cord 8/10 arrived on thescene. In addition to being faithful tothe original styling, they were well-trimmed with quality components. Al-though the body was made of plastic,this was no kit car.
The magazines praised them for theircomfort, handling and acceleration.Pray didn't skimp with the engines -Cord 8/10s came with the high-performance 140 Corvair engine, withthe turbo 180 being optional.
Whether they were that good is open todebate. Some folks who have driventhem aren't too impressed with theirroadability. But nobody can debate thatthey attract attention. They are trulyhandsome cars.
Aftermath.
Glenn Pray and Wayne McKinley werenot alone in financing the Cord Auto-mobile Company. There were otherinvestors and a dispute arose whensales failed to meet expectations. InJanuary of 1966, Pray was ousted andsix months later, in July of 1966, theCord Automobile Company stoppedproducing cars after building just 97.
But that's not the end of the Cord story.In March 1967, the assets of the CordAutomobile Company were purchasedby a new outfit underwritten by Wil-liam P. Lear of Lear Jet fame. The
to think outside the box.
Around the same time, U.S. RubberCompany was promoting a productnamed "Expanded Royalite" as a suit-able material for boat hulls and heavyduty truck cabs. A specialty car madeof Royalite would be a good promo-tional tool for U.S. Rubber. And so itcame to be.
Expanded Royalite comes in largesheets. It's a laminated ABS-basedplastic that has a cellular inner coresandwiched between inner and outerskins. (ABS stands for acrylonitrilebutadiene styrene). Nowadays, thereare probably dozens of plastics thatwould be suitable for molding car bod-ies, but back in the 1960s, ExpandedRoyalite had a unique combination ofcharacteristics. It was advertised asbeing exceptionally rigid, light inweight, and resistant to weather, salts,alkalis and most chemicals. But it'smain selling point was that it was easyto form into shapes using conventionalvacuum molding techniques. Thatmeant low tooling costs for low-volumeproduction.
To get the ball rolling, Glenn Pray pro-vided an original Cord convertible to U.S. Royal to serve as a pattern for the8/10 replica. U.S. Royal's Consumerand Industrial Products Division inMishawaka, Indiana took it from there.To get the dimensions right, they madean 8/10th scale clay mockup of Glenn'sdonor car. Then, to accommodate thesizes and properties of Royalite sheet,they made a five-piece plaster mold.Finally, for production purposes, theyprepared an epoxy vacuum-formingmold in which Royalite sheets wereformed into individual body parts. Ittook about five minutes to mold eachpiece. The pieces were assembled intoa complete shell using epoxy-based ad-hesives and standard mechanical fasten-ers. The complete body assemblyweighed only 200 pounds.
U.S. Rubber manufactured the bodyshells for all Cord 8/10s at their Misha-waka plant and shipped them to GlennPray's facility in Oklahoma. There,

cam in position, the weights had flungout far enough to rub the distributorhousing.
So, should you remove a rotor, be sureto give it a little twist when you re-install it. If you feel no movementagainst the springs, remove the breakerplate to check the position of the me-chanical advance parts.
NECC UPDATE
2016 was a good year for NortheastCorvair Council (NECC). Our eventattendance was up and we're well awareyour support is the reason for our suc-cess. To all who joined us on the track,and those who considered coming butcouldn't, a sincere thank you!
Recently the NECC executive commit-tee met to map out our speed schedulefor next year. Get a bunch of speedfreaks together in one room, feed thempizza, and great ideas are bound to hap-pen!
We talked about different venues, howmany events to stage in 2017, possiblypartnering with other sanctioning bod-ies, whether to offer time trials, andmuch more. It was a very productiveexchange.
Right now on our radar is a possiblereturn to New York Safety Track for acar-only event. We are also consider-ing a car only event at Pocono, whichoffers a number of challenging trackconfigurations. Many of you expressedan interest in Pocono when we took asurvey in September. We are alsolooking at other tracks in the region.
NECC is already working hard on thesepossibilities, and we'll absolutely keepyou in the loop as things develop.Meantime thank you again for yoursupport.
We wish all of you a wonderful holidayseason and a happy new year!
carbs.
The mystery was solved! I grabbed mywrenches, loosened the fuel line, re-aligned it, and retightened the nuts.The problem has not reappeared since Idid it.
I think the Corvair fuel system by itsdesign is prone to this kind of malady,so it's good to check this first if vaporlock occurs.
Since making the above repair, I havealso fitted a firewall grommet, whichshould give the car more protectionagainst the possibility of a reoccur-rence.
TUNE-UP TIPby Harry Jensen, CCEMay 1986 CORSA Communique
I read in my February Communiqueabout Bill Reider's trip to the nationalconvention in Houston and his distribu-tor that self-destructed on the waythere. He probably had done the samething I had the last time I did a tune-up.
I had changed the plugs, points, andcondenser. I gave the rotor a slight tugto remove it, but it seemed stuck; I gaveit a good yank and it came off. I put ona new one, set the timing, and went fora test drive. The car was slow, veryslow. It would idle fine at low RPMokay, but as the RPM increased, themotor did not develop the power it hadbefore the tune-up.
I took it back into the garage to checkthe timing - it was still right on themark. I popped off the distributor capand checked the mechanical advance bytrying to turn the rotor. It wouldn'tmove, indicating a problem.
That "yank" on the stuck rotor hadcaused the point cam to pull above theadvance weights, rendering the entiremechanical advance inoperative. I hadalso bent the retaining bracket thatkeeps the point cam and weightsaligned. Without the base of the point

MISROUTED FUEL LINESCAN CAUSE VAPOR LOCKby John Covell, San Francisco, CA.May 1986 CORSA Communique
For a long time, my Corvair wasplagued with vapor lock problems. Ihad no trouble with starting and run-ning the car from cold, but if I shut itoff and then tried to run it again withoutgiving the car time to cool down com-pletely, it would manifest vapor lockwithin a hundred yards of driving off.And of course, the problem was worsein hot weather.
One day, while I was staring at mystalled engine and tearing my hair out, Inoticed that my main fuel feed line hadsomehow gotten bent away from itscorrect path between the firewall andthe fuel pump so that it was lying di-rectly alongside and in contract with theleft-hand cylinder head, down by the
