I think it improves the lines like that. It's definitely suites my tastes.

I have been told by Bob Joynt that several L-29's exported to Canada had folding windshields and other changes. There are three or four pictures of JBA 370. Look for the radiator mascot to identify them.

I'm pretty sure Glenn made the folding windshield himself.
As a side note the correct spelling of his last name is Pray.

I presume JBA 369 and 370 are showing the same car. I'm also curious about the folding windsheild. The licence plate appears to be 1950 Ontario.

I'm also curious about the slanted windsheild in JBA 8, 672 & 673. I believe that Jim copied these from my fathers collection. The prints I have are too smal to decipher the year on the licence plate, but they appaer to be from Ontario as well.

What is the story with these two cars and does anyone know why so many unusual L29's ended up in Ontario ?

Thanks, Mike

It's nice to see it still exists. The full story would be interesting.

Posting for Pete Kelly.

This is JBA 370. The folding windshield is pretty cool. Looks like the one Glenn Prey owns.

Look at pictures JBA 120 and 118 for two more photos of this car. These are the photos I was refuring to as looking in driving condition. I'm surprised no one has commented on L-29 JBA 370!

This is not a finished car, it does not have a steering box or water pump. and no fan. I think these pictures are of a project, someone was building.

While we are on the subject of L29 Specials this was also in the collection. Is it an Auburn coupe categorized incorrectly or a special bodied Cord?

There are three more poor photos of this car in the Brockman collection. They are probably missplaced under Auburn etc. Look for the license plate 1504J. Two of them are from Jack Morton and another J.J. Gray Lethbridge Alberta. All three of these photos look as though the car was being raced at the time.

I thought I saw it somewhere else. The picture I posted is in there along with this one. Thanks!

This photo and another of the car exist in the L29 Brockman gallery. I believe it was a Canadian car.

Nope! nothing about this car...
Looks like something in progress, no steering wheel,no fire wall, no gauges,no windshield.

Anyone know anything about this?
