Its streamlined shape was created by Gordon Buehrig with assistance from Vince Gardner and features a low silhouette, front wheel drive and unitized body construction. It was the first production car to feature retractable headlamps. The wheel cover design mimics the fender contours, and the wheel covers\u2019 holes allow for cooling the brakes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite critical acclaim, the Cord\u2019s production run was hampered by product development and corporate financial woes. After production ceased in 1937, the Cord\u2019s body shell was utilized by the Hupp Skylark and Graham Hollywood.<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 93px;\" width=\"1021\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"150\">\n<h4><strong>COUNTRY OF ORIGIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\">\n<h4><strong>ENGINE<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"90\">\n<h4><strong>HORSEPOWER<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"111\">\n<h4><strong>NUMBER BUILT<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>United States<\/td>\n<td>V8, 288 C.I.
