The Cord 810/812 was built from 1936 to 1937.
The 812 Supercharged, the most traded version: The 812 Supercharged stands as the ultimate expression of Cord's brief but brilliant existence—a supercharged swan song that delivered genuine performance to match its stunning looks. With only 195 examples built, it's among the rarest American cars ever produced. The Schwitzer-Cummins supercharger boosted the Lycoming V8 to 170 horsepower, transforming the Cord from a beautiful cruiser into a legitimate performance machine capable of 110 mph. The distinctive external exhaust pipes announced the supercharged car's presence, while the advanced front-wheel-drive system provided superior traction compared to contemporary rear-drive rivals. Today, a 812 Supercharged represents the holy grail of American pre-war collecting, with examples routinely selling for well over $1 million. It perfectly encapsulates the innovation, artistry, and tragic brevity of one of America's most important automotive brands.
