Description
A work of art, the Cord 810 was a sensation from its first unveiling in 1935. Erret Lobban Cord, head of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg (ACD) Corporation, got the best designers to create a car for the future. Designed by Gordon Buehrig, the car looked unique. Instead of a traditional grille and high bonnet, it had a low-slung engine cover, with horizontal slats to admit cooling air. It had no running-boards, no visible door hinges. The petrol filler lived under a little hatch on the rear flank and headlamps were concealed. The Cord family crest was the only means of identification. It also had front wheel drive and a preselector gearbox.
