We took the shop's 1930 L-29 Cord Cabriolet to the Pacific Northwest Concours D'Elegance at the LeMay museum in Tacoma today and came home with 3rd in class (Cord) and the People's Choice award.

Gorgeous. Is that a vintage hydroplane in the background?

I see the Tacoma Dome in the background.

Yeah, I want to see pics of first and 2nd. 3rd place looks so good.

1st and second must make the skies open up and angels weep openly because that car is beautiful.

Yes, that's the Bardahl merlin-powered hydroplane in the back.

First and second went to a couple absolutely stunning Cord 810/812 cabriolets.

Our car photographs well and looks good on the field but it does have a few little things that we're working on. It's held up well for about a 30 year-old restoration.

We've probably got about 100 hours in cleaning, detailing and repairing little things. The car was in good condition but very dirty when we got it.

The headlights make it look a little camera shy as though it's looking away. Awesome car.
