This Cord L-29 is an authentic recreation of the 1931 Cord speedster used at the Paris and New York Automobile shows.
The Auburn Automobile Company needed to show the artistic flare of the Cord automobile,
so they created the Cord speedster. 'Show cars' have two main aims, to encourage brand awareness
of an automaker and to exhibit the automaker's creativity as well as innovation, both mechanically
and in styling. The Cord speedster did both. It showcased a unique front-wheel-drive system,
and bright exterior colors as well as a speedster boattail body style.
