New additions to the Cord line for the 1937 812 models included an optional supercharged engine, producing 190 hp, and the new Custom sedan models, on a wheelbase extended by seven inches in the rear compartment, with the rest of the body’s lines subtly raised to maintain Gordon Buehrig’s superb proportions. First known with John Elson of Ohio in 1970, the factory-supercharged Custom Beverly offered here was acquired by the current owner’s father from Mr. Elson only a year later, and has been hidden away in their family collection ever since. Overall well preserved with older paint and upholstery, it will would require mechanical sorting before being used on the road. It would be a wonderful basis for a future “driver” for ACD Club activities, or as the best possible basis for a concours-quality restoration.
