!936 Cord 810 Cabriolet, click on image for a full page view.What set the Cord 810 apart from other cars of that era was its distinctive appearance. The styling was defined by a hood that took on the appearance of a coffin, large front fenders, retracting headlamps, center hinged doors, a v-shaped split paned front windshield and the obvious absence of running boards. The 810 was powered by a 125 hp Lycoming 8 cylinder engine along with a front wheel drive system. Inside of the Cord was an aircraft designed engine turned metal instrument panel and bucket seats. This Cord Cabriolet shown here has 22,000 original miles and even though there has been substantial detailing the car has never been taken apart for a complete restoration effort yet.
