This car was restored to its original configuration with extreme attention to detail implementing all CORD Factory Service Bulletins. The restoration maintained the original cadet gray paint color and dark blue wool interior. Many people consider this particular model to be the most beautiful version with its sleek lines, louvered hood, and tear-drop shaped fenders sporting "disappearing headlamps".The car is mechanically excellent with a fully rebuilt original transmission and original Lycoming V-8 engine that starts easily, runs smoothly, and shifts like “butter”. The car generates 125 HP making it fully capable of freeway speeds as the front wheel-drive and vacuum-electric shifting system operate perfectly through all 4 speeds and reverse. It is truly a pleasure to drive with the pre-select gear selection that allows you to punch the clutch into the next gear with both hands on the wheel. This "numbers matching" 1936 Cord 810 Westchester sedan carries Serial #1123A, Engine #FB323, and Body #C90 196 as the 23rd production assembly line car after the first 100 "hand-built" show cars were assembled.
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg company employed a most imaginative designer by the name of Gordon Buehrig, who designed many of the Model J Duesenbergs, the 1935 Auburn 851 boat-tail Speedster and the 1936 Cord model 810 that proved to be a hit at the 1935 New York Automobile Show that claimed the classic 1936 Cord was way ahead of its time.
