Cord
Cord was an American automobile brand that stood at the forefront of innovation and design in the automotive industry during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded by E.L. Cord as part of the Cord Corporation, which also owned other automotive companies like Auburn and Duesenberg, Cord became known for its forward-thinking approach to car design and technology. One of its most significant achievements was the introduction of front-wheel drive in its models, such as the L-29 and the 810/812 series, making Cord one of the first automobile manufacturers to adopt this technology for better handling and performance. These models were also notable for their distinctive Art Deco styling, which set them apart from other cars of the era. Despite its innovative contributions to the automotive world, Cord struggled financially and ceased operations in 1937, leaving behind a legacy of pioneering engineering and design excellence.
