✨ 1936 Cord 810 Sportsman ✨

Produced by the Auburn Automobile Company, the 810 offered front-wheel drive, a powerful engine, and streamlined styling years ahead of its time.

Only about 1,175 Cord 810 Sportsman convertibles were built in 1936, making them rare and highly collectible today.

The Cord 810 remains one of the boldest expressions of the Art Deco era and a true automotive landmark.
