GLENN PRAY GROUP NEWSLETTER JULY 2011
Everything is settling down here in Broken Arrow. The Factory is still selling
parts, and we
are still buying and selling a few cars.
Doug Pray is now the President of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company, and I'm
still
working the parts. The Family seems to have most things under control.
We plan to go to Auburn this year to Honor Glenn. So if you can come and help
Honor
him, that would be GREAT. The dates this year (2011) are Sept 1 (Thursday to
Sunday)
Sept 4th. We have rooms at the Holiday Inn Express, in Kendallville, In. Its
about 9 miles
North west of Auburn. The Rates start at $126 non-refundable, and $136
refundable. The
address is 1917 Dowling St, Kendallville, In. Local phone 260 343 0000. If you
book on
line at the Holiday Inn Website, you will get the rates above. We have about 30
people so
far, that I know of going to Auburn.
We have a place to have an early Dinner on Friday, before we go downtown and
gather in
the streets. If you plan to go, please e-mail, or call me so we can have a head
count.
I'll have a spot in the swap meet on Friday morning to sell a few Auburn and
Cord Parts
behind the Museum.
We plan to do our Glenn Pray Car Show in May or June 2012. Sorry I have not
sent News-
letters out, but sometimes no news is better than the news you have to give
out. At times
when you are that close to what happened its hard to talk or write about it for
a while.
The Family is going to sell the following cars of Glenn's. If interested, it
would be cheaper
to buy them here in Broken Arrow, than at the Auction in Auburn on Labor Day
Weekend.
The 36 Cord Westchester, original, the 32 Auburn Speedster that Glenn Built, the
L-29
Cord that Glenn Built, the 40 Ford with the Jaguar Engine, that was Walt
Carlton's car,
he was our Engineer. They have 898 Auburn Cab, that has been restored. For
information
and pictures on these cars, call or e-mail me. Also, if you have a Glenn Pray
Auburn or
Cord, I have a buyer looking for one. I know of a Nice Samco that is for sale.
I bought a
69 Mustang Conv. for my wife, but she can drive it, She can't see over the
dash. I guess
I will have to buy her a 65, the dashes were lower. This car has V-8,
Automatic, Power
Steering, power brakes, POWER TOP. It has new paint, interior, top, tires, and
I think
the engine was rebuilt not very long ago. The paint on the block still looks
fresh. The car
drives good.
If anyone has any questions on the cars, Auburn, or anything else, feel free to
e-mail or call me.

Hope everyone is Having Fun, as Glenn would say, and see if you can come to the
Auburn Meet
this year if not we'll see you in May or June of 2012.
Thanks
