1931 Cord L-29 Navigation
This 1931 Cord Rumble Seat Cabriolet has been driven 13,800 miles since new. This front-wheel drive vehicle has been well-maintained since new. It has a rumble seat, white wall tires, dual side mounts, and chrome bumpers.
The Cord was one of only two marques available for sale in 1930-1931 with front-wheel-drive. With front-wheel-drive it eliminated the need for a drive shaft, hence cords are significantly lower than their contemporaries, thus appear racier.
E.L. Cord sold pizzazz, consequently, the Cord cars were presented in striking color schemes and unusual features; look at the Art Deco touches, especially on the dashboard area, and what was presented as advanced engineering.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2010
