Whenever a Jordan pops up I mention that Ned Jordan was one of the most depressing stories of the early Automotive age.   In 1929 he was living in a mansion east of Cleveland with his wife and family and a bunch of servants.  He had a mistress which wrecked his family,  the depression wrecked his company and by the end of the decade was broke and living in a studio in NY drinking himself to death.  He got sober and remarried and got a job during WWII so I believe he straightened himself out to some extent.

And we can't forget the one really really cool Jordan that got built.   Picture courtesy of our buddy Steve in California.

Also, very depressing that not one of the twelve 1930 Jordan Speedway Z Sportsman sedans survive now.   And that we don't know who the designer was of this seminal 3-box sedan body architecture.   At least we have one Ace roadster.
