AI Listing Summary

This 1936 Cord 810 Westchester Sedan, notable for its iconic "coffin nose" design, has been with the Harrah's Automobile Collection since 1964 and received a cosmetic restoration in 1969. While largely original with a striking Ganges Green exterior and interior, it shows signs of age including lubricant seepage in the engine bay and wear on the driver's seat, indicating it needs recommissioning to be put back on the road.

The car has undergone a cosmetic restoration and has a largely original exterior with an "erratically masked exterior repaint". The engine compartment shows age and lubricant seepage, and the original upholstery has fraying on the driver's seat. It is described as "sound but erratically masked" and "deserving a recommissioning". This indicates moderate wear and a need for some reconditioning, fitting the 'Good' category.
