Originally sold for $1500 the price was later slashed to $1120 in the second series. 1930 – 1932 series L models ran an 8 cylinder engine producing 98hp. An estimated 1,116 series one units were built, many overseas. In other markets the model was often named a Model-K Tourer.

Model production ended in 1933 when public favor tended towards closed hard cabs instead of soft tops.
