If you read Old Cars Weekly, you know we recently featured Glenn Pray's Auburn and Cord business in Old Cars Weekly. Unfortunately, we just learned from Pray's right-hand man that Pray passed away last night, March 23. According to De Geyter, services will be held at Christ United Methodist Church, 3515 S Harvard, Tulsa, Okla., on Monday, March 28 at 11 a.m. at Fitzgerald Funeral Home, 3612 E 91st in Tulsa.

According to De Geyter, "Glenn always said he wanted to go to sleep and not wake up, and that is what he did. He had a major stroke."

With Pray's passing, we're unsure if his Auburn Cord Duesenberg Co. will continue to offer parts to the public, but we'll keep you up-to-date on the business' future activities.
