Heavy Metal Power Cord - a photo on Flickriver

            For people who know the name Cord, it usually brings to mind the iconic “coffin nosed” Cords of the late 1930s.

E.L. Cord gave us another automotive icon in 1929, the L-29. This car was the first American car with front wheel drive. It was powered by a 301 CID Lycoming inline 8 cylinder engine producing 125 HP. Limits to the gearing meant the car topped out at about 80 MPH, still plenty in 1929.

The car was priced at about $3000.00. Even with the depression hitting the world later on in 1929, the folks at Cord built 4,400 examples between 1929 and 1932. Then the company pretty much shut down until 1936 when they relaunched with the fabulous, Gordon Buehrig designed 810/812 models we know so well.

This is a forced perspective photo of a 1/24 scale model in front of a real background.

The car is a 1930 Cord L-29 Brooks Stevens Speedster by Automodello.
