This 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged "Sportsman" Cabriolet is a Concours winning, supercharged example of one of the most iconic, 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 Auburn and Dusenberg, as well as engine builder, Lycoming. Cord began producing the namesake Cord L-29 in June 1929, serving as an intermediate model sitting above the more affordable Auburn and below the premium Duesenberg. Famously, the 1929 Cord L-29 beat out Ruxton to be "America's First Front-Drive Car;" however, in actuality, several automakers at the turn of the century had experimented with front wheel drive vehicles but none were particularly successful.
