Equipment
Outside exhaust headpipes, fog lights, radio, heater, wide whitewalls.
Condition
Sound and shiny but edge chipped and scratched old paint. Badly surface cracked old leather upholstery and steering wheel. Sound chrome. Clean and orderly underhood. A well-used old restoration with plenty of miles but remains a desirable tour car.
Market commentary
Josh Malks' Cord 810/812 book has this car as 31940H with engine FC2752 but with Convertible Phaeton coachwork. There is no representation of the original bodywork. Offered at RM's Arizona auction in 2006 with a high bid of $187,000, then at Meadow Brook seven months later where it was bid to only $140,000. As a tired old restoration with a question mark after its body style the price it brought here is generous.
