Forty-two years ago, Jim Weddle moved to Connersville, Ind., with his wife Stacey to open a branch office of the investment company Edward Jones, and discovered an amazing automotive history.⠀
⠀
In the 1920s and '30s, an industrialist named Errett Lobban (E.L.) Cord built Auburn and Duesenberg cars in Indiana. In 1929, he set out to build a car with his own name on it. Cord created a state-of-the-art car factory in Connersville to produce Cord and Auburn cars. Historians have called the small town Indiana's "Little Detroit."⠀
⠀
Cord cars were luxurious and ahead of their time in terms of styling and engineering. Unfortunately, the Great Depression had a devastating effect on Indiana's auto business. Auburn, Duesenberg and Cord all ended production during the Depression. But the people of Indiana still celebrate these cars. The Weddles would see Cords at July 4th parades in Connersville, and Jim remembers saying to his wife years ago, "someday we are going to own one of those cars."⠀
⠀
Ten years ago, Jim and his wife fulfilled their goal when they found the 812 Phaeton pictured above through a classic car broker for $200,000. The car has front-wheel drive, retractable headlights controlled by cranks on either side of the dashboard, and a V-8 engine built by E.L. Cord's Lycoming company. The car had already been restored, and Jim said it is a delight to drive once you figure out its quirks. ⠀
