Cord 810/812: The Timeless Classic

Rating:
Summary: accurate historical accounting of the people, times & car.
Review: This book is highly recommended for a totally insightful view of the times and situation(s) that led to the creation of what was a futuristic all-out artistic object that occurred because of the right things being in the right place at the right time. The fact that the subject matter just happens to be an automobile is secondary to the author's placement of people and events which conspired to let these events occur in the first place, yielding a beautiful work of U.S. industrial art.

Rating:
Summary: A highly detailed book
Review: Wonderful history of these fascinating and beautiful autos. I'd always heard anecdotes of how the Cord was a lovely but mechanically troubled car and this history provides all the details you could ask for. The author must have spent years assembling notes and details to make this book such a comprehensive masterpiece. If you want to know the Cord 810 & 812 story look no further!
