		Gordon Buehrig, 85, designer of the magnificent coffin-nose Cord, the dashing Auburn Speedster and a number of incredible Duesenbergs, designer of the legendary Stutz and, more modernly, of the '51 Ford Victoria hardtop coupe, could not be there for his night of honor.
		Buehrig was such an admirer of the Honda that he designed a couple of special Hondas, one a sportster with a rumble seat (which he called the "Rumble"), the other a high-performance 150-mph speedster (called the "Competitor").
		Buehrig was born in 1904 in Mason City, Ill., and began his automotive career in 1924 at Gotfredson Body Co. in Wayne, Mich., which made bodies for the Wills St. Clair, Peerless and Jewett cars, among others.

	The Showroom of Automotive History: 1937 Cord
		Gordon Buehrig crossed paths with E.L. Cord in the summer of 1929 when Buehrig was hired as chief stylist at Duesenberg.
		Far different from the standard look of the time, Buehrig's design had a coffin-shaped nose and horizontal hood louvers that contrasted sharply with the upright grilles that were then typical.
		Buehrig's Cord could not save E.L.'s empire, but automotive enthusiasts would come to regard it as one of the great classics of all time.

		Buehrig's fellow stylists thought his design the winner, but Earl and the other GM executives placed Buehrig's radical car last.

		Buehrig's GM design contest entry became the basis of the "baby Duesenberg" design.

		This is incredible to me since several years later, he would completely scoff at a design by Gordon M. Buehrig that would become the Cord 810--a design that clearly drew a lot of influence from this one-off.
		The 810's shape came from his mind and no one else's, and it was left for the rest of the world to emulate, simulate, and outright copy his work of genius afterward.
		Buehrig was a maestro in metal, and the Cord was his greatest symphony.

		It was within the walls of what is now the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum that Buehrig finalized the design for this "rolling sculpture." The Buehrig Cord was presented to Gordon on his 75th birthday and was later donated to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum by his wife, Kay Buehrig.
		The Studebaker Museum was particularly interested in having the Buehrig Cord, because Gordon Buerhrig was once the head of the Raymond Loewey Studio in South Bend after his days at Auburn Automobile Company.

		The second generation of front-wheel drive Cords, the 1936 Model 810 and 1937 Model 812, were designed by Gordon M. Buehrig; Buehrig had designed custom bodies for Model J Duesenbergs as well as the 1935 supercharged Auburn Boattail Speedster!
		The 810/812 design was a radical styling departure characterized by a massive coffin-nosed hood with an integrated wrap-around grille/louver assembly, pontoon front fenders, the first disappearing headlamps (retracted by hand-crank and cable-operated mechanisms), center hinged doors and lower body sills that eliminated traditional running boards.
		In June 1937 race driver Ab Jenkins established a 24-hour record by driving a Cord Beverly Sedan at an average speed of 79.6 mph.

		This Gordon Buehrig Design was an update of the '34 Auburn, which was not received well by the public or Company Management, although structurally and mechanically, it was a very advanced car for its time.
		Buehrig came up with a tour de force of Streamlining and Art Deco design cues which is legendary and is generally considered the best Auburn of all time design wise and quite frankly one of the most beautiful cars of the Pre War era.
		These cars are hard to find in this condition- a car that runs and drives well and shows equally well.
