CORD 810/812
Sedan, berline, convertible coupé, convertible phaeton.
The incredible Coffin Nose with its alligator bonnet innocent of conventional grille, manually retractable headlamps, aircraft style dash, trailing-arm front suspension, and temperamental four-speed over-drive 'box with electro-vacuum shift. Wonderful when it's running right, but a full-time job to keep it that way. Too many have been re-engined, and some have even been converted to rear drive. Long-chassis berlines on '37 812 only.
