Cord-Cord 810
The Cord 810 Classic is a classic American automobile that was produced from 1936 to 1937 by the Cord Corporation. The 810 was the first front-wheel drive car to be mass produced in the United States. It was also the first car to feature hidden headlights, and the first American car to feature a disappearing top. The 810 was a revolutionary car for its time, and it set the standard for modern cars.
The 810 was designed by Gordon Buehrig, one of the most renowned automobile designers of the 20th century. Buehrig was known for his innovative designs and his attention to detail. He was also known for his ability to create a car that was both stylish and practical. The 810 was no exception.
The 810 featured a sleek, aerodynamic body that was made of steel and aluminum. The car also featured a unit body construction, which was a revolutionary concept at the time. This construction method allowed the car to be lighter and more rigid than conventional cars of the time.
The 810 was powered by a Lycoming V8 engine that produced 125 horsepower. The engine was mated to a three-speed manual transmission that sent power to the front wheels. The 810 had a top speed of around 85 mph, which was impressive for the time.
The 810 was available in both a two-door and four-door body style. The two-door version featured a disappearing top, which was a revolutionary feature for the time. The disappearing top allowed the car to be converted from a coupe to a convertible in a matter of minutes. The four-door version featured a fixed roof and a longer wheelbase.
The 810 was a luxurious car for its time, and it was well-equipped with many modern features. The car featured a vacuum-assisted clutch, power brakes, and an adjustable steering wheel. It also featured a state-of-the-art dashboard with a clock, a radio, and an oil pressure gauge.
The 810 was a popular car in its day, and it was even featured in the movie “Gone with the Wind.” However, the car was not a financial success for the Cord Corporation, and it was discontinued after only two years of production. Today, the 810 is a highly sought-after collector’s item, and it is considered to be one of the most iconic American cars of all time.
