Description
Designers in the 1930s began to bring all sorts of innovation into their designs for cars, planes and trains to reduce wind resistance. Smooth and rounded began to replace square and boxy.
This 1937 Cord was a speed record setter in its day. It set speed records in 1937 that were not broken for 15 years.

It reminds me of a half-sucked milk lollipop!
Thanks for sharing the interesting info. Funny thing is I can see elements in the design of this car in some of the modern designs of today. Beautiful shot.
A super shot and quite a car for its day.
Very elegant!!
Nice ride Bill.
It seems so big at the front and so small at the back ! with that engine size I'm not surprised it broke speed records :) what a beautiful shot, the light in the foreground really empthasisies the size of this car.

I love it, the colour, and those super front fenders, and the air grille around the hood...fantastic capture!
They were/are sensational.
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Now that would be a very tough beast to find these days! Nice shot Bill!
Cord patented the fold down headlights which is why no other cars of that era had them.
Look at that hood...Like a big old tractor, but as you say a fast beast.
every thing I ever heard about Cords was in awe. superb photo
*** It set speed records in 1937 that were not broken for 15 years. and now I am wondering what the top speed was ? ... hmm, ponder ... cool shape and definitely smooth as a babys bottom, LOL BB
