1937 Cord 812 Supercharged "Sportsman" Cabriolet
This 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged "Sportsman" Cabriolet is a beautiful, supercharged example of one of the most iconic and technologically advanced Pre-War cars ever produced. Established by namesake founder Errett Lobban "E.L." Cord in 1929, the Cord Corporation served as Mr. Cord's holding company for his automotive ventures, including his shares in the Auburn Automobile Company and Dusenberg, Inc., as well as engine builder, Lycoming Mfg. Co. In total, a mere 2,992 "Coffin Nose" Cords were produced during their short production run from 1936 through 1937 and it is believed that just a handful of Supercharged "Sportsman" Cabriolet Convertible Coupes were produced in this configuration, which means that this particular example is quite a rare piece of automotive history. Due to its unique design, mechanical innovations, and overall rarity, the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) has designated all Cord automobiles as Full Classics which means this '37 Cord 812 SC "Sportsman" is eligible to participate in CCCA events and CARavans. Under the iconic, revolutionary rear-hinged hood on this '37 Cord 812 is a supercharged Lycoming 288.64 Cu. In. V8 fed by a single 2 barrel carburetor. It's mated to a 4 speed manual transmission that shifted using the innovative remote controlled column-mounted pre-selector shifter. It rides on a set of wide whitewall bias-ply tires, accented with chrome wheelcovers and beauty rings which gives this convertible an upscale look whether parked at the local car show or cruising down the road. The luxurious look and feel of this supercharged 1937 812 Sportsman Convertible is further supplemented with front and rear bumper guards and a pair of amber-lensed Cord-branded fog lights. In addition to the fog lamps, both headlights manually crank up and down which is one of the many technological and forward-thinking innovations of the Cord 810/812 series. This 1937 Sportsman is equipped with a manually operated beige cloth convertible soft top along with an accessory removable hardtop. The exterior has been refinished in a beautiful Dark Thrust Brown paint that completes the stunning exterior look. The interior is absolutely gorgeous! The bench seat has been reupholstered with beautiful tan leather that provides a beautiful contrast from the rich exterior appearance. The matching upholstered door panels and armrests, along with the burgundy carpeting, dark ivory painted dash with its engine-turned instrument panel, and body color-matched steering wheel with chrome horn ring are all in fantastic condition as well and appear to be in their stock configuration. The instrument cluster features a wide array of instrumentation and gauges including a 150 MPH speedometer, 5,000 RPM tachometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, amp gauge, and fuel gauge. The dash is topped by a rearview mirror and then completed with an AM radio and full-size clock, as well as with a pair of locking gloveboxes that straddle the instrument panel. Whether you're buying your first full classic car or you're an established ACD or CCCA collector, this 1937 Cord 812 "Sportsman" Cabriolet would make an excellent choice.
