1931 Cord L-29 Phaeton Sedan
125hp 298.6 cu. in. Lycoming side valve inline eight-cylinder engine, front wheel drive, dashboard mounted three-speed manual transmission, four-wheel semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 137.5"
This beautiful L-29 Phaeton Sedan was meticulously restored over a two and a half year period in the early 1990s by Paul Freehill of Stutz Specialties in Fort Worth, Indiana. Painted in a seductive red and maroon color scheme with a tan convertible top this L-29 won its class at its first showing at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It would be the first of dozens of awards garnered by the Cord at events including the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, Hershey, Cranbrook and Willistead to name a few. Accordingly, this L-29 is a ully certified example with Level One documentation from the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club. The Cord is also an AACA National First Prize winning car in addition to being a Premier Level National First Prize winning car in the meticulous eyes of the CCCA.
In addition, this splendid example is outfitted with almost all the available options in 1931 including dual side mount spare tires with dual mirrors, wide whitewall tires, a rear luggage rack and correct metal trunk, and both driving and cowl lights. As well, this L-29 features elegant chromed wire wheels, and a Lalique crystal Tete d’Aigle mascot finishing off what is unquestionably one of the most handsome, sleek and lithe convertible sedans ever built.
Few L-29s remain, and it is rare indeed to find one restored to such high standards. While certainly suitable to drive, this L-29 deserves to compete for its new owner on the show fields of America.
