  • 810 Handbuilt Cords
    DRAFT HANDBUILT CORDS By Bill Bicknell HISTORY: The evolu)on of the 810/812 Cord can be described in various stages from concep)on, to prototype, to handbuilt cars, and then finally to produc)on. This ar)cle will cover handbuilt cars in detail while giving addi)onal informa)on on other stages as appropriate. Most of the informa)on here has been told at one )me or other in the ACD newsleEers over the past 50+ years but in small segments. A goal of this ar)cle was to cover as much as possible about the handbuilt cars in one loca)on. The 810/812 Cord, as we know it today, actually started life in late 1933 as the “Baby Duesenberg” project. This was a plan for a lower cost Duesenberg using an Auburn chassis and drive train with an advanced, aerodynamic body design by Gordon Buehrig. A prototype was built in February of 1934. The few available photographs of this car leave no ques)on that this was the inspira)on for the 810 Cord and that its heritage came from the Duesenberg project but with a change to front-wheel drive. In 1935, five prototype front-wheel drive Cords were built with one being driven across country to determine good and bad features and designs. The cross country car made it to the West coast and back as far as Dixon, Illinois before encountering transmission trouble. A replacement transmission was sent, the car was repaired on the spot, and the trip was finished. The features unique to the prototype cars are covered later in this ar)cle.
