This is one of five or six special experimental Cords built in 1934 with bodies by La Baron. These cars were not sold to the public, but were originally designed as prototypes for a proposed line of cars dubbed the "baby" Duesenbergs which were to have used the Auburn V-12 engine. That project did not materialize and the cars were equipped instead with the Cord V-8 supercharged engine.
