1969 SAMCO Cord 810 (Sports Automobile Manufacturing Company...William Lear, president)

Description

These cars were made on an assembly line in Tulsa and later Mannford Oklahoma for three years. It is a production of the original Cord inspired design but gone is the Lycoming V8 and front wheel drive..instead there is a 5.0 liter Ford powerplant. A Chrysler 440 engine was also offered. The body is made of a fiberglass like material, apparently scaled down from the original dimensions of Cord. An earlier version by another company had a Corvair powerplant and front wheel drive...it did not last in the marketplace...it was replaced by these Lear models.
