Cord on E-bay

Thanks, Josh. Well, at least they are easier to tell apart that a lot of Packards. Those things are killer sinec you could mix and match the options from one model line on just about any other model line.

The following applies to sedans only. IN GENERAL (because nothing is 100% with Cords):

810 Westchesters had fastbacks with a flat-panelled broadcloth interior.
810 Beverlys had fastbacks with a pleated broadcloth interior featuring fixed armrests front and rear (the so-called Armchair Beverlys).
812 Westchesters were exactly like 810s
812 Beverlys had a bustle trunk and pleated broadcloth interior and fold-down armrests front and rear.

Exceptions have been found, all factory work:
- Westchesters with pleated leather upholstery, no armrests
- a Westchester with flat-panelled broadcloth, and pull-down armrests
- 812 Beverlys with leather interiors
and more

That's not to get into the (7") longer "Custom" series, and a very few with even longer wheelbases.

I must be getting my thought crossed, or have been misinformed about 810/12 sedan body styles. What exactly differentiates a Westchester from a Beverly? I remember once hearing that Beverlies have sloped rear ends, but that doesn't necessarily seem to be correct. Educate me, please.

No, it's a Beverly. See bustle trunk, fold-down armrests, pleated upholstery. (Yes, I know there were Westchesters with pleated upholstery, and at least one with fold-down armrests, but this IS a Beverly )

Isn't that a Westchester, not a Beverly?

I dont know if anyone here is in the market for a Cord 812 Beverly. But I found one on E-bay. I would love to own it but I cannt afford it so I am letting you guys in on it. Happy bidding.
