1937 Cord 812 Phaeton The Cord was so advanced for its day that today collectors treasure them not only for their beautiful sculpture but for the joy of actually driving one. The engine is a flat head V8 with plenty of power connected directly to the front wheel drive and a four speed transmission.

Take a look at the wonderful platoon fenders and the famous hood known as the â??Coffin Noseâ??; the headlights are flush with the fenders and can be raised up out of the fenders at night, are all part of the iconic design. The dashboard is engine turned like you would find in a pre-war airplane and the gauges also resemble airplane gauges.

The Lycoming V8 125 HP engine starts up and runs perfectly.
