1937 Cord 812 Westchester
This 1937 Cord 812 is a striking example of pre-war automotive innovation, featuring an iconic streamlined design with hidden headlights, a signature coffin-nose grille, and front-wheel drive. Powered by a 288.6 cubic-inch (4.7L) Lycoming V8 producing 125 hp, it is paired with a 4-speed semi-automatic transmission with a Bendix pre-selector, offering advanced engineering for its era.
Cord was a subsidiary of the Auburn Automobile Company, led by E.L. Cord, who also controlled Duesenberg. The Cord 810/812 shared its lineage with the legendary Duesenberg Model J, embodying the same spirit of innovation, style, and performance. Like Duesenberg, Cord pushed the boundaries of automotive engineering, introducing groundbreaking features such as front-wheel drive and independent suspension—technologies that were far ahead of their time.
Finished in deep blue with chrome accents, this example exudes elegance and sophistication. The plush blue interior, complemented by a machine-turned dashboard, highlights its luxury and forward-thinking design, making it one of the most iconic American classics ever built.
