Amelia Earhart’s Car Was Almost Lost ! #ameliaearhart

Video Description

This car owned by Amelia Earhart was almost lost forever! Earhart owned this 1937 Cord for a short time before her final flight, when she and her navigator dissapeared over the South Pacific in 1937. Over the years, her Cord fell into obscurity, passing through several owners and eventually the parts were split up among multiple cars across the country. After decades of research, travel, and acquiring the original components, in 2004, the car's body, frame, and engine were finally reunited by collector Ray Foster who sold it to its current owner, The JBS Collection. In 2018, The JBS Collection commissioned noted marque experts LaVine Restorations, Inc. to return the car to its original specifications with a restoration that has captured numerous awards. You can see this remarkable automobile on public display at @TheHenryFord in Dearborn, Michigan from November 2024 to May 2025!
