1936 Cord 810 Navigation
The Cord 810 featured disappearing headlights, a 'coffin nose' hood, and an aircraft-style instrument panel. Thanks to its low profile, it did not have running boards. It was built by the Auburn Automobile Company, which was owned by E.L. Cord.
The 810 was powered by a V-eight motor by Lycoming Motors (another Cord-controlled company) that developed 125 horsepower.
Four body styles were available on the 810: a Beverly sedan, a Sportsman, a Phaeton, and the Westchester sedan. The base price of the Westchester sedan was $1,995.
This Cord 810 is especially significant since it was formerly owned by its original designer, Gordon M. Buehrig, who also designed automobiles for Auburn and Duesenberg. Many years after its original introduction, this car was presented to him by his wife as a birthday gift. Following his death, the car was donated to the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana.
