Cord Deusenburg front headlights

PostPost by: gino1 » Fri May 18, 2012 8:35 am

Hi All,
Browsing on the web after seeing a documentary on tv regarding Deusenberg automobiles I came accross this very interesting web page where you can see the headlights on this particular Cord Deusenberg (1936) car that appear to be indentical to those of the baby elan :shock:

Hi Gino,

Yes, the design was believed, by some, to have inspired Ron Hickman...

Sorry Gino I don't know what car you are talking about? There is the Elan, an Elan Plus 2 and an Elan M100 (if you must) :twisted:

And the car is a Cord, not a Cord Deusenberg, or Duesenberg, to spell it correctly.

O.K., Anorak off now.

Italians would abbreviate "bambino" or "bambina" in Bimba or Bimbo :)

I was gonna ask what the English translation was for the vid, but I guess it doesn't really matter now, does it? :wink:

nebogipfel is not the only member of the society......... "Elan" should NEVER be preceded by the B word. :!:
