U.S. 29A-1  dead
Formerly:
US 29A-1 was born about 1948 as new primary routing, running on today's Cabarrus Av between US 29 and US 29-A (now NC 73) Concord.
In 1953, US 29A-1 was renumbered as part of US 29-A. Today it is unnumbered.

1949 Cabarrus County
US 29A-1 through Concord
1949 Cabarrus County
1953 Cabarrus County
US 29-A replaces US 29A-1
1953 Cabarrus County

So...did this really exist as a hyphenated US Route? The only explicit evidence I have is the 1949 Cabarrus County map shown above. What other corroborating evidence might exist? The best I can do short of NCDOT or AASHTO putting their records from the late 40s-early 50s out on the web to search, here are two scans showing US 29 and US 29A as I have described them, and they indicate Cabarrus Ave connecting them as a US route, though not explicitly labeled:
