Rare 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton (w/ startup)
A rare white 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton arriving at and leaving the Early Rodders Car Meet at United Artists Theatres. Introduced at the 1935 New York Auto Show, the 810/812 was first American car with both front-wheel drive and independent front suspension. It featured styling by Gordon Miller Buehrig with numerous innovative and unique elements including a wraparound grille with horizontal louvers (commonly known as the "coffin nose"), a rear-hinged hood, hidden door hinges, and an absence of running boards. It was also the first car to feature pop-up/hidden headlights. Due to mechanical problems and reliability issues, sales were lower than expected and some 1936 810s were re-numbered and sold as 1937 812s. Around 2,900 examples of the 810/812 were built before production ceased in 1937.
