Technical highlights were finned rear drums and an X-frame construction.

1936 Cord Model 810

One of many rare and beautiful cars from the pre-WWII collection in the Fourney Museum of Transportation, in Denver. On display are a nice selection of Honda motorcycles from the 1960s and 1970s, several Volkswagen "bugs" and Karmen Ghia models and, among the train collection, the "Big Boy" locomotive, one of the largest railroad engines ever built.
