Lobban Cord wanted to introduce the front wheel drive to
the series automotive manufacture and based thereupon a
further enterprise: The automobile mark Cord. |

october 1929 the Cord celebrated on that Paris salon its
world premiere, one week later was located it in the
Olympia in the Londoner engine Show. |
| Governors,
Ambassadors and popular personalities like everyone of the
three Marx Brothers drove Cord. |

to the missing cardan shaft the Cord L 29 was lower and
thus sportier than the other cars of that time. |

cars. |

| | | Erret
Lobban Cord was an American multi-entrepreneur, to whose
company empire occasionally beside engines and aircraft
factories the automarks Auburn and nozzle mountain belonged. |
| The
remarkable was that racing cars all front wheel drive had
the successful Miller. |
| About
comparably the all-wheel drive in the eighties or the
turbocharger in the Siebzigern. |
| He
bought from Miller the patents, its chief engineer invented
the first x-formed chassis and his company Lycoming –
actually an aircraft engine manufacturer – supplies the
8-cylinder row engines. |
| Soon
it gave everywhere contract dealer: in Athen, Tokyo, Berlin
and even in Syria and Palestine. |
| In
Addition, the popular women was that car which can be driven
easily likes: Mary Pickford, Lola Montez and Jean Harlow
decided likewise for Cord. |
| To
which the Cord with 3,295 dollar was too cheap (the sevenfold
price of a Ford A), helped car bodies builder such as
Saoutchik or Franay with expensive special bodies, which were
only rarely still more beautiful however than the work bodies. |
| On
31 December 1931 E.L. Cord closed the factory buildings after
5.010 built cars. |
| The
Wall Street had broken down and in their suction the demand
for luxury cars. |
| The
dealers in 1931 manufactured car as model 1932 and even 1933
offered there, were hardly noticeable that the mark pausierte
occasionally. |
| After
the searches of the previous owner the initial delivery of our
Cord took place in the year 1929 over a citizen of Berlin dealer
to a resident of Munich customer. |
| It presents
itself today in breath-robbing a beautiful condition. |
| The Cord L
29 is one of the most beautiful, technical milestones of
automobile history. Ideally suitably to underline the
priority of a collection and to the participation in
considerable Concours d'Elegance. |
