Someone near where I grew up had one of those Cords (a real one). If I am correct, they were the first front wheel drive cars. Never saw it on the road, the owner had a 70-72 convertible Cutlass for driving fun.
I took one of Ron Covell's metal shaping courses in Covington Ohio a few years back. The shop that the class was held in specialized in reproducing the front fenders for these Cords. I didn't even know there were so many of these built that would warrant making aftermarket parts for it.Very cool and unique looking car. I think they were supercharged.

812's were supercharged, 810's were not
Powered by the Lycoming V8 from the L29 and were front wheel drive
