The four-passenger Cord phaeton was one of the first production
convertibles with a fully disappearing top and rear quarter
windows, an innovative design permitting excellent all-round
vision. Owned in 1970 by William MacLeod of Chicago, this Ivory 810
phaeton was later purchased by G.N. Goydstun of Hurst, Texas. The
current owners acquired the phaeton from Mr. Goydstun in 1978, and
upon arriving at its new home the car was put away into storage
from which it has only recently emerged. Fitted with fiberglass
fenders and a correct replacement engine, number FB 1630, it is
expected to be running prior to the sale but would likely require
further work before being enjoyed on the open road. It would,
however, be eligible for all ACD Club activities and events with a
happy new caretaker.To view this car and others currently consigned
to this auction, please visit the RM website at
