Equipment
Dual sidemounts with Beige cloth covers, wheel covers, wide whitewalls, rumble seat, Delco radio, rollup oval rear window. Excellent older restoration with quality paint, interior and wood showing some age but little use. One of the great examples of American coachwork designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, winner of multiple concours awards in Europe in 1930. Later owned by Brooks Stevens. Best in Class, Co Chairmens Trophy and Peoples Choice winner at Pebble Beach in 1987. A C D Category 1. A beautiful automobile with a wonderful history.
Market commentary
The bidding opened at $600k, went quickly to $800,000 then slowly in $10K increments between a bidder on the phone and one in the room. The finest Cord Front Drive out there, thats for sure, and the most expensive one, but those two terms are not inconsistent where this car is concerned.
