It shouldn't come as any surprise that the Cord L-29 and the Twin Six FWD prototype had engineering similarities; the Packard effort benefited from the L-29 experiences and both were primarily the work product of C. W. Van Ranst and Tommy Milton who were taken on as consultants by Packard. The story goes that they were paid $10,o00 for the Twin Six design work.
