That Cord what a CAR!!!!
One of my father's colleagues had one in his huge collection of American veteran cars.
It was a 1934 model from memory, white with a most unusal collection of hardware for its day. They were front wheel drive, with the gearbox ahead of the axel, accounting for the distinctive dolphin nose shape and it was a 'pre-selector' automatic.
I have fond memories driving around in that lovely vehicle. Definitely one of America's best. A true classic.
