Description
Conceived as the eventual successor to the groundbreaking and handsome (but short-lived) front-drive Cord L-29 of 1929, the later 810/812 series continued to exemplify company president E.
L.
Cord’s proven formula for sales success: a combination of cutting-edge styling and high performance, all at a surprisingly reasonable price point.
The “New Cord” of 1936 was offered in several variations, including two sedans, the Westchester and the Beverly—the primary difference between the two being their interior appointments and cost.
The lower-priced Westchester sported upholstery in flat broadcloth, while the upscale Beverly offered seats in pleated cloth or optional leather, with a fixed center armrest in earlier models and a folding armrest in later examples.
These sedans were joined in 1937 by two Custom models, built on a wheelbase extended seven inches, for a total span of 132 inches.
All the additional length went into the rear compartment, much improving passenger legroom.
