1936 Cord 810/812 Westchester


The Cord 810/812, sometimes called the "Coffin Nosed" Cord, was well ahead of its time in 1936. It was front wheel drive, 170 hp supercharged V-8 with a four speed transmission. It was low, sleek, powerful, and comfortable setting an example for many cars to come. The next front wheel drive American car was the Oldsmobile Toronado in 1965.

Firetruck


I think this is a 1941 Diamond T firetruck. Unfortunately it no longer has an easy life in a heated firehouse. Now it is parked in the weeds which is too bad as the original paint and chrome are nearly perfect but won't be for long.
