Convertible Sedan Chassis Num: FD2936A   Sold for $99,000 at 2006 RM Auctions. This rare 1930 Cord L29 Convertible Sedan sat atop of a 137.5 inch wheelbase. It was powered by a 298 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine capable of producing 125 horsepower. It had a three-speed manual transmission and quarter elliptic front leaf springs and rear semi-elliptic leaf springs. Stopping power was provided by a four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. There were only 1873 Cords produced in 1930, and just over 5000 produced from 1929 through 1932. Only a handful of the four-door convertible sedans were produced. This example was one of the first full production front-wheel drive automobiles built. It has been on display at the Smokey Mountain Car Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for a number of years. It is finished in light gray with royal blue beltlines and trim and a tan top. By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2009
