1929 Cord L-29 Cabriolet: An Icon of American Pre-War Car Design
and Innovation This handsome L-29 Cabriolet hails from the first
year of production of these innovative, front-wheel drive cars.
Finished in pale yellow with evergreen accents over a tan top and
handsome evergreen leather interior, it joined the collection 25
years ago. The subject of an older restoration, it was repainted
and retrimmed several decades ago. The interior shows quite nicely,
as does the exterior trim, but the paint has begun to shrink in
places. Nonetheless, the car still has plenty of presence. Perfect
for a mild refresh and active tour use or restoration and
presentation on a concours field either way it will bring smiles to
the new owner and anyone lucky enough to see him or her in their
stunning cabriolet. The L29 Cord is one of the iconic American car
designs from the prewar period. Few other cars built in that period
have low slung looks, and even fewer could stake the claim of being
some of the first front wheel drive American road cars.
Representing the pinnacle of American Motorcar technology and
timeless styling, a L29 Cord is a must for any serious collector.
