Today, the Cord 810 and 812 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever built, and the 810 Cord has been honored by the Museum of Modern Art as one of the 8 best designs of the 20th century.

 

Built by the Auburn Automobile Company in 1935, the Cord 810 created a major sensation at the New York Auto Show, with car enthusiasts 'wowed' by Gordon Buehrig's amazing design. The car suffered a few teething problems which combined with an expensive car being launched during the Great Depression and Auburn's limited finances, resulted in production lasting only two years. In 1937, the Auburn Automobile Company stopped producing cars, but the legacy lives on with the Cord still remaining one of the most desirable cars ever built.
