The front-wheel drive Model 810 Cord was a rather revolutionary car. How much testing did it get before it went to market?
A. Actually, aside from some frantic drives around Indiana roads, the only road test of the Cord 810 prototype was a –> 3 1/2 day dash to Los Angeles for E.L. Cord’s inspection, and an equally rapid return. Considering, the fact that the Cord turned out as well as it did is a tribute to those Auburn engineers!
