1936 Cord Westchester Amazing 32k Original Mile Survivor

The 810-812 Cord is a consensus for anyone's list of the most beautiful production cars of all time! This groundbreaking design set the world on fire when it was introduced at the 1935 NY Auto Salon. People actually stood on top of other cars to get a glimpse of the Cord, which was akin to a spaceship having landed in the middle of the show floor. Sales requests were overwhelming for the relatively small Auburn Auto company and the cars were rushed to production. Many little irritating things were solved in the '37 Production year so '37 is generally considered the year to buy if you have a choice. The supercharged models with their outside exhaust pipes are the rarest and most desirable models. These cars are arguably the fastest and most drivable PreWar car there is. They handle and ride like no other Pre War car. They look like no other PreWar car. They are quite simply like no other PreWar car and quite frankly better than many cars produced long after the War ended.

12 years ago the Seller asked me to help him find a Cord Westchester, and before I could get much accomplished he ferreted out this amazing original car in Ohio. So I went over with him to see the car and really could not find any reason why he shouldn't immediately buy it before it went public and he did. The top needed repainted, so he had that done locally and has done some other minor mechanical things to the car over the course of his ownership but hasn't driven it all that much and feels it needs to go to someone who will drive the car more than he does-so in a nutshell if you appreciate original unrestored survivors- this is your lucky day!
This is without a doubt one of the finest Original unrestored Cords I have ever seen. It still has its honeycomb radiator. It still has all its original components (although the engine was replaced very early in its life-undoubtedly at the factory since the current engine # is only 40 units off the original engine #) and even the Asbestos Exhaust Insulation looks original to me. The interior is near flawless and while minor repairs were performed under his ownership, its is simply a wonderful time capsule with no moth damage or rips or tears. The headliner is without fault. In the trunk, everything is as it should be and some of the original burlap lining is still present. The paint shows some patina and buff through as you would expect after this much time, but overall is very nice. The bumper chrome is the weakest part, but really given that its 90 years old I wouldn't touch it.
People are always presenting really ratty cars as Preservation Class cars, and in my opinion many of them really should be restored. This is the very elusive FINE ORIGINAL CAR that we so seldom see and look for our whole lives.

This is a special car and a very rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey car that has been treated well its entire life.
