What is a Full Classic® Car? A Full Classic® as defined by the Classic Car Club of America is a “fine” or “distinctive” auto- mobile, American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948. Generally a CCCA Classic was high priced when new and was built in limited quantities. Other factors including engine displacement, custom coachwork and luxury accessories such as power brakes, power clutch, and automatic lubrication systems, help determine whether a car is considered to be a “Full Clas- sic®”. The complete list of recognized classics may be obtained from the Classic Car Club. of America, P.O. Box 346160, Chica- go, IL 60634. Purpose of the Classic Car Club of America, (CCCA): for the development, publication and interchange of technical, histori- cal and other information for and among members and other persons who own or are interested in fine or unusual foreign or do- mestic motor cars built between and including the years 1925 and 1948, and distinguished for their respective fine design, high engineering standards and superior workmanship, and to promote social intercourse and fellowship among the members; and to maintain references upon and encourage the maintenance, restoration and preservation of all such Classic cars.

He was mortified that I would drive it in the Copperstate, not really knowing anything about the car and specifically not able to use 4th gear. Fortunately I figured it out be- fore the tour and Bruce came to the send-off to meet me and see my Cord. It was the first Cord to attend the Copperstate and he was rooting for me, although I am not sure he thought I would make it. I called him when I succeeded and we have been friends since then. He was always helpful finding parts and giving advice for keeping it running well. His own Cord was clearly one of the best restored Cords in the world, winning many awards more than once. Ironically I have entered the Cord for the 2019 Cop- perstate and I am sure he will be smiling. I will miss him.
