Westchester Question.

Gary where did you see it? Did you get any pictures?
I just had a look in The Timeless Class and sure enough there are a few Westchesters listed with a Bustle trunk, like most Beverlys. The first listed has Serial No 812 1622 A then there are eight more. Never noticed this before.
Give Ron Irwin a call and Post what he has to say.
You never stop learning about these amazing cars.
In Italy we saw and went for a ride in a Custom Beverly that was supercharged but did not have the outside pipes and it had the Fastback trunk. I believe this unique Cord was built for EL's son Charles.

Thanks Terry. The car I saw had a leaded in Bustle trunk. This was why I asked the question. No the research begins..

Gary I don't think any Westchesters were fitted with a Bustle trunk however a few were fitted with the bolt on trunk extension.
Attached are some examples which may in fact be the same car at the Factory and in recent times.
The car in the last picture has Serial No 812 1500 A

Were any Westchester sedans ever made with a factory installed Bustle trunk? If so how many?
