The Classic Cord is one of the signature CIPSA castings. It has been found in four colors,all with white interiors. Several examples with white roofs are believed to original roofs. Only a few of the known Classic Cords are in excellent condition, most are beaters. Due to its popularity, there have been incidents of undisclosed repair to some pieces. Due to the poor assembly methods, the hoods and motors are often missing. White roofs and blue windshields are being reproduced so collectors should be wary of purportedly complete examples. All CIPSA Classic Cords are made with US bases, dated 1970.
