Cord Automobiles L-29 & 810 / 812 Photo Archive

This book presents the Cord automobile, one of the most striking cars of the 1930s, a decade often regarded as the height of the classic car era. Both Cord models stood out for their advanced engineering and distinctive design, making them exceptional vehicles of their time.

The Cord name, and the man behind it, became associated with innovation, ambition, and a certain mystery. The few surviving cars still attract attention today and continue to influence modern automotive design.

The book features impressive photographs supported by clear and informative captions. It also includes a brief and well-structured history of Cord, covering both the company and its founder.
