NO car will ever surpass the 1937 Cord Supercharged 812 In September of 1937, a Cord crew driven by Ab Jenkins set 35 American stock car speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats, certified by the AAA Contest Board, including 24 hours at an average speed (including stops) of 101.72 mile per hour.

I like the way you think, but I would pick the 37 Cord 812 Sportsman convertible coupe over the sedan.

When it comes to cars of that era the Duesenberg was without equal, and in fact, E.L Cord owned the company for about 10 years.
