1937 Cord 810 Westchester, Supercharged. By late 1936 the 812 was offered with an optional supercharger and it became the ultimate Cord before the company closed indefinitely the same year. Central to the Supercharged Cord was a Schiwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger that was attached to the L-head Lycoming V-8 engine. With 6 psi boost, it produced roughly 185 to 195hp. This was good enough to propel Abe Jenkins at an average speed of 101.72 mph for 24 hours on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Only 51 supercharged Westchester Sedans were produced; this car is among the last eight produced. This Cord had just been driven round-trip (5,560 miles) performing flawlessly from Seattle to the National Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Meet in Auburn, Indiana, where the car was manufactured. The ACD club celebrated the 75th anniversary of the 810/812 Cord.
