Matrix MX40307-011 1931 Cord L-29 Phaeton Convertible Sedan
Just received this one. The real car sold at auction in 2017 for about $156K. Usually I take pictures on an overcast day outside, but I thought I would try a sunlit photo with the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains through the trees in the background. Note the very fine pinstriping on the green accent area.
This brings me up to four Matrix L-29s, the other three are roadsters. Other pics in the 1:43 Handbuilt Facebook group.

Beautiful paint job! And I like your photo, too. Thanks for the post, Harvey.

Thanks a lot Harvey. Your pictures caused me to order this outstanding Cord model which I should have in a few days.

What a lovely model and photograph, Harvey. I understand this comes as a top up too.

Correct Randall - the top down version is an LE of 240. Not sure how many top ups will be made.

It is a nice model. I am interested in the top-up version.
