In 1936 the British motoring magazine, The Autocar, called the new Cord 'the most unorthodox car in the world today.' The Cord 810/812 had its origins in an abandoned design for a smaller, less pricey version of the Model J Duesenberg from 1933. Designer Gordon Buehrig adapted it for a new front-wheel drive model named after company chairman E.L. Cord. This was not the first model named for him - that was the L-29, but the Cord 810 and 812s of 1936-1937 became the most associated with this classic marque. The example shown represents Buehrig's purest form of his iconic design elements, the 'coffin nose', because it lacks the external exhaust pipes.Also photographed at :     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
