Auburn Automobile Company designer Gordon Buehrig created the Cord 810 and 812 line of body styles.
This 1937 Cord is a well restored, numbers-matching example of the phaeton body style. The phaeton
seats five people and has a convertible top. The Auburn Automobile Company offered six different body
styles for the Cord in 1937. All styles included the option of a supercharger. A dealer installed
option included additional chromium vents located at the front of the hood. Since the supercharged
Cords were inclined to overheat, the hood vents were a means to provide additional air to enter the
engine compartment in an effort to keep them running cooler.
