About the 1936 Cord 810 Phaeton

The 810 Phaeton represents the absolute pinnacle of 1930s American automotive design, combining Gordon Buehrig's futuristic styling with the romance of open-air motoring. With just 500 examples produced, the Phaeton is significantly rarer than the sedan, making it one of the most coveted pre-war American cars. The folding soft top revealed an exquisitely detailed interior with Art Deco-inspired instruments and luxurious appointments befitting a car that cost more than most homes. The front-wheel-drive layout and advanced Bendix transmission made it a technical tour de force, though these same innovations contributed to Cord's financial difficulties. Today, 810 Phaetons command seven-figure prices at auction, with concours-quality examples reaching stratospheric levels. For collectors seeking the ultimate expression of American automotive artistry from the Depression era, nothing matches a Cord 810 Phaeton.
