1937 Cord Beverly - $42,500 - LaCrosse, WI - This 1937 Cord 812 Custom Beverly is mechanically original and in very sound condition.
White Glove Collection aquired this Cord from a private owner who had owned for nearly two decades. The car has been restored previously, but we do not know the date of that restoration.
The car ran very well as soon as we got it into our shop, but it didn't stop very well, which was a problem. To address this, we rebuilt the brakes with new wheel cylinders and shoes. We also serviced the wheel bearings, and stainless steel sleeved the master cylinder. The car now stops on a dime.
The engine runs whisper quiet and smooth, the transmission shifts smoothly as well, the Bendix shift is in complete working order, and the tires are in very good condition.
We have the gas flap and door handle not shown in some of the photos.
A new windshield frame is back from the chrome shop but yet to be installed.
The hub caps, all bumper, and the “towel bars” have all been rechromed and are ready to install.
The leather seats are very nice, as well as the headliner. But the door panels should really be redone.
A paint job, new door panels, and new carpeting, would produce a wonderful, show-winning car.
