A friend bought a 57C Gangloff Bugatti and it was double supercharged (once supercharger feeding to another) and pretty rare with the key decision being that it had a rebuilt engine, but the car he turned down was a standing seam car that is now in Ralph Lauren collection - it was shinier, but no one knew its true mechanical condition, so one became a pushing million dollar car and the other became a serious multi-million dollar car.

Not a good endorsement for Gateway Cars - implied they have no clue what they are doing regarding pricing or 30's cars.

Hope that price is negotiable. And, hope they have the rims for all the wheels. Quite the boat anchor.

SEVERAL EXIST AND HAVE SEEN OVER TIME, BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM CURRENTLY.

SOME PARTS FOR IT EXIST STILL

Probably the best L-29 Cord film footage that survives

Cord

Cord in "Der Zinker" - 1931

Cord L-29

Cord in "Min & Bill" - 1930

A Batten V-8

AC

San Diego

So where did your car "hang out" when sold new and where did it go from there ? And how many do you think they built (I keep seeing 3, though that is 3 x times more pictures that should be find-able)

Sure, buy something easy to find photos for ! This does not appear to be a period photo given license plates (and mirrors on the sedan)
