Pic-A-Day (592) Albert Mach Fine Art
1929 Cord L-29 Convertible
This was the first L-29 I ever saw and was totally blown away with it! This was my cover photo for a while. Might bring it back for today.
I have seen many others now and so there will be more L-29s featured as Pic-A-Day posts but for me this one is special!
Manufacturer: Cord Corporation Auburn, IN

Base Price: $3,295
Engine: Eight-cylinder, 125 hp
The L-29 Cord was a front-drive car introduced by Errett L. Cord to help bridge the gap existing between his line of Auburn and Duesenberg cars. It was heavily advertised before its introduction by ads frankly targeted to “those who can afford it.” Its design was hailed by critics on both sides of the Atlantic, but its chances for commercial success ended with the stock market crash and subsequent depression. Many connoisseurs today consider the L-29 the best-looking American car of the period.
