1928 Cord 812 Supercharged Cabriolet Sportsman Triple Black Fully Restored

The 810-812 Cord is a consensus for anyones 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.

This Very nicely restored example is one of the finest examples we have had the opportunity to represent. The car presents well in all respects, the paint is deep and luscious, the chrome is gleaming, the interior and top are beautifully executed, and the car runs and drives perfectly. Finished in the striking and desirable Triple Black, this car is one of the most memorable Cords we have seen. The car is correct in every manner and worthy of acquisition by the most discriminating collector. The Cabriolet or Sportsman as it's widely referred to the most desirable and sporting of the 810/12 Cords. No collection is complete without an 810/812 Cord, and this car is certainly a stunning example that will be the centerpiece of any collection of important cars.

The 812 Cord is one of the most beautiful production cars of all time, a car of the future that was light years ahead of anything else produced at the time. The 810/812 Cord is arguably the world's first exotic car with hide away headlights, a revolutionary front wheel drive chassis and Supercharged V8 performance. With driving characteristics rivaling modern cars, they are quite simply the best driving pre War car there is.
