Vehicle Description
1937 Cord 810 Westchester� Cadet Grey exterior and dark blue
interior with grey accents 289 CID Lycoming L-head V-8 engine
Four-speed semi-automatic transmission with Bendix pre-selector
Four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes Independent front suspension with
trailing arms and transverse leaf spring; live rear axle with
semi-elliptic leaf springs Correct chrome and trim There are few
American original cars left but we have one here at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars. We are quite proud to present this 1937 Cord 810
Winchester sedan. Dressed in Cadet Grey, this car's paint and trim
are in overall excellent condition, after a restoration to high
standards, however there are minor blemishes visible at the
driver's side A-pillar and at the fuel filler door. The windows are
in very good order and the lights are as well. This Cord rides on
16-inch steel wheels with vented factory wheel covers surrounded by
Goodyear wide whitewall tires. The tires and wheels are in very
good order. This car's bodywork is straight and solid, including
its "coach" front doors, its trunk is in good order with a
full-sized spare tire, the engine bay is tidy, the battery looks
new and the chrome bumpers show good fits with the body. However,
the car has no windshield wiper arms; there are wiper blades in the
glovebox. The horns are inoperable. Its Lycoming 289 CID L-head V-8
engine was matched with a four-speed semi-automatic transmission
with Bendix's electrically operated pre-selector gearshift system.
Inside, the car's dark blue interior with grey piping and trim is
in overall very good order. The front and rear bench seats look
great, as does the matching carpet and headliner. The black and
metallic dashboard, with its multiple round gauges, including
tachometer, levers and other controls, still looks snazzy, however
the fuel gauge is inoperable. The original, glossy, three-spoke
steering wheel faces the driver. The driver's side inner door panel
shows some blemishes, but overall, the panels, mirror glass and
shift lever look good. There is no radio in this vehicle.
Contemplated as a "Baby Duesenberg" yet made for only 1936 and
1937, E. L. Cord's 810/812 series has been a collector favorite for
many years. The 810/812 series succeeded the L-29 Cord, continuing
Cord's penchant for blending stunning styling with engineering
wonders, all at affordable prices. Indeed, Cord chief stylist
Gordon M. Buehrig penned the design, using cues from styles
rejected by Harley Earl, his former GM styling boss, such as its
"coffin" nose, retractable headlights and pontoon-style front
fenders. Other new ideas included hidden door hinges, front-wheel
drive, a hidden fuel filler door, variable-speed windshield wipers
and a rear-hinged hood as opposed to the then-regular side-opening
type. Front-wheel drive meant the car had no driveshaft beneath the
passenger compartment so there was no transmission tunnel to steal
foot room and rob passenger space in the cabin. The car's body was
lower than many of its contemporaries and made running boards a
thing of the past. Competition to this Cord in 1937 included
Auburn's Speedster, Buick's Century, Cadillac's Series 60,
Chrysler's Airstream, Duesenberg's Model J, LaSalle's Series 50,
the Lincoln-Zephyr, Packard's One-Twenty and Oldsmobile's Series L
models. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 11,081 miles. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.
