✨ Legendary Wheels & Western Lore! ✨
Did you know silent film cowboy icon Tom Mix cruised the open roads in a dazzling, custom 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton? This bright-yellow beauty boasted hand-tooled leather fender guards, a revolver holster on the steering wheel, and Mix’s signature “TM” initials—a true showstopper of its era.
But this car holds a somber place in history. On October 12, 1940, while speeding north from Tucson, Tom Mix tragically lost control near Florence, Arizona, after missing warning signs for a washed-out bridge. Though he survived the crash, a heavy aluminum suitcase from the back seat struck him, ending the legend’s life instantly. The site is now known as Tom Mix Wash.
Decades later, the battered Cord was rescued from a Missouri junkyard and lovingly restored to its original glory. Today, it turns heads at prestigious auto shows, while the infamous “suitcase of death” and other Mix memorabilia are on display at the Tom Mix Museum in Dewey, Oklahoma.

Want to step into history? During this year’s Dewey Western Heritage Roundup—Saturday, October 10th—you can tour the Tom Mix Museum and the historic Dewey Hotel! Plus, rumor has it Tom Mix’s grandson will be joining the festivities. Mark your calendars and saddle up for a day where is our middle name! 🤠
