Probably your best bet is to find a body that will fit a similar scale RC.

I don't think you will have much luck at all finding one as a RC car. I
don't mean to be rude but its not the sort of car that kids or young adults
and a lot of the older generation would even recognise and you probably have
a lot of people thinking that was a typo and should have said Ford not Cord.
:)
If you can find a scale model Cord, something in the 1/10, 1/12, 1/18, 1/24
or 1/32 scale class you might have a bit more luck finding a RC car chassis
to put a model body on to. Putting any body on any RC car chassis is easy,
the hard part would be replicating the interior of the vehicle because RC
cars need room for their electronics.
Good Luck
