If it's legit, it's one of these without the supercharger exhaust pipes.

$32,000 is a cheap buy in as these can be high 6 if not 7 figure cars.

says sold - but, 32k seems low for a deusy even unrestored

We have a 1936 Cord 810 at the museum. Has a very interesting "Bendix Electric Hand" semi-automatic transmission to go along with the front wheel drive.

Beautiful car.

When Tucker was bringing out his first sedans in the late 1940s, he wanted something more than the usual "H on the Column", but had major problems developing their own "automatic transmission" system. He sent out some scouts to rummage around junk yards; they pulled about two dozen Bendix Electric Hand transmission boxes from old Cords ... and voila! (They just barely served the purpose and were quickly modified; eventually the Tucker would have its own "Tucker-matic" fully automatic transmission.) Too bad the company went belly up so soon.

The Cord 810 was always a favorite car. Does the museum's car still run?
