Equipment
Black wire wheels, blackwall tires, dyak sidemounts, top hinged windshield, rollup division, pulldown rear window shades, speaking tube, jump seats, luggage trunk, leather upholstery.
Condition
Bodied from new with this coachwork transferred from the first owner's 1927 Minerva. Four owners from new. Certified Category One by the ACD Club. Cracked, peeling old paint, yellowed safety glass, dull chrome. Sound and usable upholstery and decent interior wood. Looks like junk, but runs like a top.
Market commentary
An unusually well-balanced job mounting the d'Ieteren Freres body on the long, low L-29 chassis and carefully preserved by a succession of sympathetic owners make for a fascinating story and a Cord that will always deserve the description 'unique'.
