1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton

1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton

1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton Introduced in the summer of 1929, the new Cord L-29 was a huge hit in the luxury car segment. It paced the Indy 500 that year with its standard 298cid L-head 8 cylinder engine. The L-29 was produced for a short four year run, as it was introduced with the Great Depression just beginning. Only 1,168 Phaetons were built—that was 20 percent of Cords total production. All were equipped with a three speed transmission,innovative front wheel drive and inboard front brakes. That gave the Cord a low stance along with the first X frame, offered on a motorcar. This Cord was in long term display at a private museum and is ACD certified. It is roadworthy and drives nicely. Finished in deep blue with contrasting tan leather it is stunning. Every collection should include an ACD automobile. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
