The Replica is a recreation of the iconic 1930s Cord 810 and Cord 812. It was produced primarily by Samco in two versions of the model: the Royale and the Warrior, both with classic-style two-door convertible bodies. Unlike the original Cord which had front-wheel drive, the Samco replicas were rear-wheel drive and equipped with Ford or Chrysler V8 engines, coupled with automatic transmissions, providing greater reliability and modern power.
