1936 Cord 810 Sportsman

Chassis Number: 810 2533 F
Engine Number: 1879

This Cabriolet Sportsman was discovered behind a gas station in North Portland in 1971. It was given a restoration and finished in Cigarette Cream over black leather. The car was fitted with the improved front axle U-Joints that allowed for comfort and reliability on long-distance journeys. The car has its original bronze windshield frame, a correct accessory ashtray, and a rebuilt original radio. The original engine, FB 1742, was changed out for another many years ago. The original serial number tag remains on the car.

A prior owner enjoyed this Cabriolet Sportsman for 44 years.
