My dad told me he got pulled over by a state policeman in a cord one time when he was a young man. I believe that was when dad was drviing a 36 Chevy.

I always was a little dubious about a Cord as a state police vehicle but am glad to see this picture confirming there was one.

Over on the Studebaker forum someone posted this pic:
