Attached are two pictures of her with the phaeton.
We have a number of celebrity and exmovie star Cords in Australia. The list includes Amelia Earhart's "cabriolet", Bing Crosby's Custom Berline, Lupe Valdez's Beverly and Johnny Weissmuller's Custom Beverly. Unfortunately the provonances were all created by the guy who sold them to gullable buyers. It pays to do a little research first.

I assume they are original and correct. The RHD Cord has been in Australia since new and mine came from the US in 2007.

Zooming in you can see the brake lines and fittings.
Also note the two gussets welded at the ends of the tubular axle. These were missing from the early production cars but were added to all CORDS after Fances Langford's Cord was found to have the axle flange cracked and on the verg of having the wheel, brakes and stub axle break away.
This is covered in detail on page 28 of the Engineering Changes and specifically mentions Miss Langford's Cord.
While on this thread when checking out one of the very rare RHD Cords originally sold in Australia I was surprise to see the car had not been fitted with the strengthening gussets. Attached are a couple of pictures of that car. I guess being on the other side of the world it slipped through the "cracks'.
Considering the state of roads in Australia back then it is a wonder both wheels had not come off.
I have no idea why the RHD Cord has lowering blocks, the springs may have been modified.
I will check the gusset sizes and get back to you. They are 1/4" plate
