I think this must be a 1957 considering the mini fins and double bombsight hood ornament.

Outrigger front wheels and fenders appealed to many at that time and as shown well into the 50's by Citroen were a very desirable engineering/design device. Such cars were incredibly stable on curves at speed, particularly with traction avant. Admittedly they were extremely wide up front but very spacious inside, even in the back. I loved them in the 50's and would love to have one now.

1937 Cord 810

As a young boy I saw these fast Cords speeding and climbing mountains just like cars of today and they were beautiful and luxurious, albeit a rich man's car of the day.

There is one of these that I see occasionally driving around - faded green paint, a little worn around the edges - and it’s absolutely brilliant. The first time I saw it my mind was blown, like is that a daily driver Cord? There’s an old guy just drives it like a normal car. I haven’t been able to snap a picture yet because of driving.

They are at least 80 years old now, hard to think of using one for daily driving. One in good shape brings a small fortune at auction. It would be a real coup to get this one to drive for yourself.

I am sure that he knows what he has and how valuable it is. He just likes to drive it - and that is what it was built for.
