Cord was manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company from 1929 through 1932 and again in 1936 and 1937. Cord was noted for its innovative technology and streamlined designs. The 1929-32 L-29, was the first American front-wheel drive car. The second model, the 1936 810 and 1937 812, were also front wheel drive, designed by Gordon Buehrig, were the first cars to get hidden headlights, they got a 125hp 289 cu in V8. they also got hidden door hinges and a rear hinged hood, which was unusual for the time. The most famous feature was the coffin nose, a louvered wraparound grille. Supercharging was available on the 1937 812 model, distinguished from the normally aspirated 812s by the chrome-plated external exhaust pipes, horsepower was raised to 170. The 812 was available in 2 door Convertible, 4 door Beverley Sedan, 4 door Westchester Sedan and 4 door Phaeton. Only 21 of these Custom Berlines were built, usually to special order, the main difference, they were 7 inches longer than lesser models to give rear passengers more leg room, also featuring a wind up glass divider between front and rear passengers. Bing Crosby originally owned this car. |
