Hi-I'm just beginning to restore a 1936 Cord sedan and am looking for new or good used mechanical parts and some body parts including front or rear fenders.
Thanks

With or without side mounts?

Mmmmm....1936 Cord with sidemounts? Never heard of that one before.

Actually, such a beast does exist. Five 812s were built with specially-ordered sidemounts. At least one still exists and is pictured in Griffith Borgeson's book on E.L. Cord.

It isn't as bad-looking as it sounds, but it's not pretty either.

Good luck on your project! I suggest joining the ACD Club, which will give you access to a lot of great parts and technical information, as well as great people.

There's actually two Cords with Sidemounts that still exist, a Convertible Phaeton and a Custom Beverly

Sorry to continue to hijack this thread, but have either of those been restored?

No problem Wes. The Phaeton was restored years ago. I took pictures of it at Auburn in 1977 and there was a website with the restoration progress of the Custom Beverly that I'm having trouble finding again.The Custom Beverly had some armor in it as I recall. I will try to find a picture of the finished Phaeton to post.

Just happened on this thread, so thought I had a couple of pics of a Cord convert with side mounts that I took a couple of months ago. I have no idea as to the age of the car, all I know is what you see in the pics. Hope they are interesting to someone. I believe the car is original. It was very impressive.

The white car with the sidemounts is a Packard. The yellow car with NO sidemounts is a Cord.

I have no idea as to the age of the cars, all I know is what you see in the pics. Hope they are interesting to someone. I believe the cars are original. Both were equally very impressive.
