History dates back to 1950 when it was purchased by Len Gutterson of Pasadena, California. In 1953, the Cord was sold to Andrew and Christina Roos, who owned it until 1969.
The next owner was Lee R. Richardson of Carefree, Arizona, who owned the Cord for 28 years. Mr. Richardson was well known as one of the early founders of the Disney Corporation. In his years at Disney, he is credited for inventing a variety of high tech camera equipment. Lee was also an avid Cord enthusiast and in 1940 became the second owner of the Robin ' s Egg Blue Barbara Stanwyck Phaeton. Being an engineer, it was in Richardson ' s nature to look for ways to improve mechanical things; during his ownership, Richardson made numerous improvements to the Sportsman.
In 1997, the Sportsman was purchased by Harold P. Bjorkland of Castle Rock, Colorado. During Bjorkland ' s ownership, the Cord was fully restored, which included repainting the car burgundy and installing a light brown interior. The current owner acquired the Sportsman in 2006 and has carefully maintained its highly presentable condition. Today it remains a very usable Cord, and with its supercharged Lycoming V8 certainly lives up to its name - Sportsman.
