To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 9 - 10 October 2024. rn$260,000 - $290,000 USD rnrnFormerly owned by longtime L-29 collector Bill SmithrnBeautifully restored by noted marque specialist, Ken Clark of Ken's ClassicsrnAn excellent example of the model, ideal for showrnACD Club Certified Category 1 (CL-134)rn rnrnPeer beneath the imposing coachwork of nearly any grand classic and you will immediately recognize a design fundamentally like that of the era's everyman car, albeit with more cylinders, more power, and better build quality. The Cord L-29 blazed a different trail, pairing its conventional 298-cubic-inch Lycoming L-head inline-eight engine with an ingenious front-wheel-drive system inspired by the pioneering Indianapolis racecars of Harry Miller. Beyond its novelty, Cord's front-drive system was a boon to stylists. With no lengthy driveshaft to accommodate, designers like the great Alan Leamy were free to pen low, rakish coachwork of dramatic proportions, all without compromising cabin space or comfort.rnrnThe earliest known owner of the cabriolet offered here was Bill Smith of Millville, New Jersey, a longtime Cord enthusiast and L-29 collector, with whom it remained from 1962 until 2003. Restoration had begun for Mr. Smith in 1998 at the well-known L-29 specialist Ken Clark's shop, Ken's Classics in Pittsfield, Maine. The car remained at the shop even as it passed in 2011 to Mark Arnold of Los Altos, California, and finally in 2013 to Jeff Schreiner of Fall Creek, Wisconsin, for whom the restoration was at last completed. The Cord was finished in a striking combination of rich dark blue with gray accents and red striping, tan Haartz cloth top, and red leather interior, and accessorized with a Pilot Ray driving light and dual side-mount mirrors.rnrnAfter completion, the car was certified by the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club as a Category 1 original car in 2015. Soon thereafter, it was acquired by the present owner, himself a devout ACD enthusiast, in whose collection its excellent restoration has been well preserved. Today this fine L-29 remains in superb overall condition, with the restoration still appearing nearly fresh in all important regards, and awaits future show appearances or ACD Club events.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 9 - 10 October 2024. rnOffered Without Reserve | $100,000 - $175,000 USD rnrnOffered from The Terence E. Adderley CollectionrnAn original factory-supercharged Cord in one of the most desirable stylesrnNicely restored and equipped with its original enginern rnrnAs the Cord 810 evolved into the 812 with production fully underway, Auburn Automobile Company's most flamboyant line received supercharged power as a popular $415 option on all models. A supercharged 812 had a factory-quoted power output of 170 horsepower, although Lycoming employees later recounted numbers as high as 195. The factory sent two properly equipped Beverly sedans to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where, driven by Ab Jenkins and Billy Winn, they recorded the highest average speed over a 24-hour period ever achieved at the Brickyard-more than 80 mph-and captured the famous Stevens Trophy. That record would stand until 1954.rnrnThe Phaeton offered here is identified as a factory-supercharged example by virtue of its five-digit serial number, beginning with the number three. It resided for many years in Washington State, including several decades with the late enthusiast John Brewin, in whose ownership it was long recorded by Cord historians. Following Mr. Brewin's passing, the car was stored for several years before being sold to collector Ralph McCarty, who kept it for two decades. He eventually undertook its restoration, with extensive work performed by local Washington craftsmen, including having the body restored to factory standards and the engine and transmission rebuilt. The engine itself, FC 2633, is the original supercharged unit for this car, as noted in both of Josh Malks's respected Cord books, and was found and reunited with the car by Mr. McCarty. The supercharger itself was rebuilt with improved modern internal parts and oil plumbing, and a pressure gauge installed on the gearbox, both as recommended in Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club Newsletters.rnrnBeautiful in the factory-correct color of Rich Maroon, the Cord was acquired from Mr. McCarty by the late Terence E. Adderley in 2015, and has remained well-preserved with other ACD automobiles in the Adderley Collection. Now offered for the first time in nearly a decade, it is likely one of the nicest factory-supercharged 812 Phaetons offered on the market, ready for its new owner to display with pride.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 9 - 10 October 2024. rnOffered Without Reserve | $70,000 - $90,000 USD rnrnOffered from the Terence E. Adderley CollectionrnOne of approximately 230 Custom Beverly sedans producedrnWell-preserved older restoration by marque specialists LaVine RestorationsrnIdeal for ACD Club events and toursrn rnrnDuring the run of the Cord 812 in 1937, the original pair of Cord sedans were joined by two Custom models, built on a wheelbase extended seven inches for a total span of 132 inches. All the additional length went into the rear compartment, much improving passenger legroom. Body sheet metal was adjusted appropriately, with the lines raised slightly to balance out the equal length, including deeper body sills, a shallower rear door fender cut, and an eighth louver added to the nose. Cord sales had already begun to wane by the time of the 1937 model's introduction, and so the expensive Custom series sold in particularly small numbers.rnrnThe Custom Beverly offered here has had its ownership history traced back to 1968, when it was acquired by longtime collector Edmund Burchman of Los Alamitos, California. Mr. Burchman retained the car for over a quarter of a century. It was later acquired by Jerald Good, an Indiana-based hotelier remembered for his operation of the Auburn Inn, the elegant headquarters to enthusiasts during the Auburn Cord Deusenberg Club National Reunion for many years. By this time the car is believed to have been repowered by the present engine, a correct non-supercharged unit, number FB 2033, and fitted with a replacement body number tag, C 105 228, versus the original number of C 105 229, as recorded in ACD Club historian Ron Irwin's notes-likely a misstamping. Nonetheless it retained its original body and numbers-matching front stub frame.rnrnIn Mr. Good's ownership the Cord was fully restored by the noted LaVine Restorations of Nappanee, Indiana, one of the best-known specialists in the Cord 810 and 812, to their usual extremely high standards of fit and finish. It was updated with the addition of supercharger-style side exhausts, a popular period modification, and had the cowl vents in the top of the hood removed, meeting Mr. Good's wishes. The body was finished in Geneva Blue, with a correct, properly tailored pleated interior in matching wool broadcloth.rnrnA longtime admirer of Cord designer Gordon Buehrig, Terence E. Adderley eventually acquired examples of nearly all the 810 and 812 body styles, purchasing this Custom Beverly for his collection in 2016. Displayed in the collection for the last eight years, it remains in superb cosmetic order, testament to the quality of the workmanship in its restoration. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
