Duesenberg, controlled by Cord Corp., is reported to be planning a new line but the exhibits last week were the famed custom models, some with exposed exhausts, all priced above $13,500. Reaching down below the $1,000 class were Auburns, not much changed from last year. But Auburn's trump was the new front-wheel drive Cord, the only completely new car at the Show...

I rushed into the house with the baby, calling for hot water and warm blankets. In the kitchen, I tied the cord, placed the baby in a warm, bath and cleaned off the brown dirt clinging to the body.
