DE. Proof certificate of vignette, title and text without border. Vignette has a tri-motor airplane flying over speedboats, Dusenberg and Auburn Automobiles. Cord, the head of the Cord Corporation, owned two aviation companies, Stinson Aircraft and Lycoming Motors, two automoblie companies, Auburn and Dusenberg, and five other engine manufacturers. In January 1932, Cord formed the Airplane Development Corporation as a subsidiary of the Cord Corporation, with Vultee as chief engineer, to begin work on the Vultee V-1 transport. In early 1932, Cord faced labor problems with his airlines pilots and he sold both airlines to American Airways in exchange for seven percent of the stock of American's parent company, the Aviation Corporation. By late 1932, Cord had purchased 30 percent of the stock in the Aviation Corporation and after a bitter stockholder's battle, Cord gained control of the company. In 1934, Aviation Corporation was required to divest American Airways which was promptly renamed American Airlines. Facsimile signature of E.L. Cord. Rare and historic certificate. SBNC. Fine.
