The Most Recognized Car in U.S. Automobile History1937 Cord 812 SuperchargedThe Last of the Baby Duesenbergs
In 1929 E.L. Cord decided to add a namesake car to his line of Auburn's and Duesenberg's. The 1930 Cord was designed and engineered to be a Baby Duesenberg. Unfortunately the Depression hit and there was no demand. In 1932 only 58 Cord's were made. But Cord tried again in 1936 with the new coffin-nose styling by Gordon Buehrig. These Model 810 and 812's were the most recognized cars in U.S. history. In all only 6004 Cords were made in their brief history.
The 1937 Supercharged 812 is chock full of the details die-cast collectors love. The headlights can be hidden. The engine is a sea of supercharged chrome. The suicide doors open to an accurate interior with a gear shift lever on the steering wheel and a metallic dashboard. Both the interior and trunk are carpeted. A true collectors dream.
