He rescued it 12 years ago after nine previous owners tried their hand at “customizing” the vehicle. One nearly destroyed the automobile, leaving the ailing Cord outside in a field up on blocks. It took White almost three years to tear the automobile down to the frame and build it back to its original showroom glory. His book, “The Tom Mix Cord,” is the most definitive research history of Mix and his vehicle ownership today.
