Details

The 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton is powered by a factory-spec supercharged V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The design features a modified firing order, lowered compression ratio, more extreme camshaft grind and a larger Stromberg AA-25 carburetor. The engine exhales through a functional chrome side exhaust, an identifying mark of all supercharged Auburn products that was believed to have been added to the Cord by stylist Alex Tremulis, later of Tucker fame, and was engineered into being by none other than August Duesenberg. The supercharged Cord had a factory-quoted power output of 170hp. The factory sent two properly equipped Beverly Sedans to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where, driven by Ab Jenkins and Billy Winn, they recorded the highest average speed over a 24-hour period ever achieved at the Brickyard - over 80 mph - and captured the famous Stevens Trophy. That record would stand until 1954. This Cord 812 was acquired in 1960 Walter F. Johnston of Burbank, CA, then passed through two more Southern California collector's hands before being acquired by its current owner in 1987. A comprehensive restoration was recently commissioned, which included the addition of a factory-specification supercharger, done using all-factory parts to make it indistinguishable from a factory-equipped supercharged Cord. The Supercharger and engine machine work was performed by a member and Chief Technician for the Cord-Auburn-Duesenberg (ACD) Club specializing in Cord 810 and 812 models to assure accuracy and authenticity. This four-passenger phaeton is finished in a factory-correct Geneva Blue color, coordinating with the medium blue leather interior in the proper pattern, and a canvas top overhead. Recent show-winning achievements include a First Place at the 2019 AACA Western Fall Nationals in Fallbrook, CA; a California Grand Classic Primary 1 in March 2020; a Senior First Place and Bill Plunkett Memorial award at the San Marino, CA, Motor Classic California Grand Classic, in 2021; and a Best of Show at Coronado Motor Cars on Main Street in May 2022. Most recently this car placed Third in Class and was the recipient of the Strother MacMinn Design Award at the 2024 Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance and a Class Award at the 2024 Ironstone Concours d'Elegance. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
