All hail the Coffin Nose Cord! This is my oldest car yet, 64 years!

but it's a car that had futuristic features like pop-up headlights,

front wheel drive, and one of the first to get rid of the grille

so common at the time.

This is the sedan version with "Westchester" package; perhaps the

most representative of all Cords (One could choose configurations of

4 or 2 seats; in coupe, sedan, and even convertible versions)

Too bad the cars weren't properly developed. The multiple

reliability problems asociated with a rushed production killed a

wondeful car, driving the last nail into the coffin of its parent

company, Auburn Automobile Co.

This is a B-class car. The performance is a bit exaggerated for a car

of its age, and doesn't exactly reflect a front-wheel-drive type handling

to the max; but what the heck, NFS4 is not front-drive friendly.

With thanks to Matej Mozcis for the versatile Tatra base car.
