Remus ran the Woodpile Report every Tuesday. He died in Summer of 2020, a few months after his wife. The site is still up (http://www.woodpilereport.com/), but Remus didn't archive old posts.

Deletestyling & engineering place Cord and Tucker as two of the more advanced production autos of the '30's-'40's. Cord is a hands down beauty.
ReplyDeleteIf you dig cars like this, a trip to the LeMay Museum in Tacoma, WA should be on your bucket list.
