Cord 810/812 color

For 1936-37, the following were factory exterior paint colors (however, not all models were available in all colors):

Palm Beach Tan, Ganges Green, Black, Cadet Grey, Rich Maroon, Thrush Brown, Clay Rust, Geneva Blue, Cool Orchard Green, Cigarette Cream, Ivory.

It seems that they couldn't come up with a good moniker for black, but they did a bang up job on the other colors!

Just for fun, the Cigarette Cream color is the most debated color in the ACD club. The thought is that it was meant to match the cream color on the label of Old Gold cigarettes, then a very popular smoke. Any ACD meet will have cars with numerous interpretations of that color, however.

Near production's end they would paint the car any color you wished

Last few cars had both 810 and 812 parts on them.

Anything to get a car together and sold. Quality never suffered however.

I had a Sportsman that brought a lot of fire from so-called Experts
