The 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged stands as one of the most innovative and visually striking American cars of its era. Known for its advanced front-wheel-drive layout and distinctive "coffin-nose" design by Gordon Buehrig, the 812 featured hidden headlights and a sleek, low-slung profile years ahead of its time. The supercharged version boasted a Lycoming V8 engine equipped with a mechanically driven supercharger, delivering up to 170 horsepower—exceptional performance for the period. Revered for its engineering and Art Deco aesthetics, the Cord 812 Supercharged remains an icon of automotive design and a favorite among collectors.
