Sweet ride! You don't often see the Cord sedans, especially not in supercharged form, and I particularly like that color.

If I had the spare change. I'd bet that'll drop $50k before all is said and done. Beast sedan!

That should pay for a spare tire.

A tire, thanks to Coker Tire reproductions, probably not so bad. A rim... different story price-wise but at least doable thanks to a large and devoted owner's club.
My big concern would be the frequency and cost of maintenance for the driveline, specifically the outer constant velocity joints. I searched and couldn't even find a new or old picture of a CV joint for a Cord.

Gorgeous car!
I love Cords.
The color is very nice, first time I've ever noticed it, though I'm partial to the yellow and green pastels I've seen them in.
Though not a ragtop man, I'd give them a slight edge over the sedan.
The most beautiful car in the world.
Or one of a very few.
