Built in Auburn, Indiana, the Cord was the first front-wheel-drive car to use constant-velocity joints. While commonly used today in all front-wheel-drive vehicles, their first use was on the 1929 Cord. The lack of rear drivetrain components allowed it to be much lower in height than competing cars.
It is powered by a straight 8 flat head 298 cubic inch engine with125 horsepower. It could not outrun the Great Depression, and by 1932, it was discontinued, with just 4,400 sold.
