[motec 6.9]

This is the ultimate American designed Art Deco car like it contemporary Auburn it was a factory built high end car. The previous Cord the L29 was the worlds first straight 8 FWD vehicle this was the worlds first V8 FWD vehicle. http://www.coys.co.uk/auction.php?itemID=4757&auctionID=45 only beaten to market by the Alvis by a few months as first road going production FWD car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvis_12/50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_Automobile#Cord_L-29 . N o Citroen were not the first. they came in 1935 .

I think this model Cord is one of the best designs from the 1930's especially when it was a production line design not a coach built car.
