Without Tribute To Tradition by Post has a chapter on the Murphy designs.
Auburn & Cord by Lee Beck and Josh Malks has mor info on the Custom bodied Cords including pictures of some of the cars.

Is that a Murphy document you have?
According to the same article, Murphy built 7 bodies for the L-29 chassis:
1 Convertible Coupé
1 Convertible Sedan
And these 5 custom bodies:
2 Town Cars
2 Sport Phaetons
1 Convertible Coupé (unique design)

According to the Aug ‘55 issue of Motor Life, only two L-29 phaetons were built by Murphy.

Originally there were 5 Murphy Dual Cowl Phaeton L-29's made. Only 2 survive today. I don't think either one of the two surviving were owned by Toby Wing.

Are there any other photos of the Cord L-29 Dual Cowl Phaeton by Murphy owned by actress Toby Wing? I found this one online.
