It was designed by Gordon Buehrig and was one of the most innovative and advanced cars of its time. The Cord 812 was known for its distinctive styling, which included a hidden headlight design, a "coffin" nose grille, and a sleek, streamlined body. It was available in several different body styles, including a convertible, a sedan, and a sportsman convertible. Under the hood, the Cord 812 was powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engine that produced 125 horsepower. It was one of the first cars to feature front-wheel drive, which gave it superior handling and traction compared to other cars of its time. Unfortunately, the Cord 812 was produced during the Great Depression, and its high price tag meant that it was only affordable to a small number of wealthy buyers. Despite this, it remains a highly sought-after classic car today, and is considered a masterpiece of automotive design and engineering.
