Howdy... I have a 1930's Auburn Jack and was wondering if I should remove the green paint and repaint the jack. Or should I just leave it as found ? The paint shows age, but does cover 80 percent of the jack, with the bottom having the paint worn away.

Thanks,
Ramblin Randy

I have an Auburn jack as well that is painted an original apple green.If your car is restored then restore the jack, other wise leave the original patina. What year Auburn is your car?

Thank you Curti for the info on the color of your jack. This jack also was "apple green" when I got it. I'm told this jack is for a 34 Auburn and would like more info as to if I'm correct, and if it was used on other years. Thank you for any help or light you may shed on this endeavor.

Went ahead and painted the jack black, not sure why I did it... and sounds like I need to repaint it "apple green".



I don't have a Auburn, rather, am working on a identification guide for old jacks. In dusty barns all across the planet sit old jacks that need to find their way back to the correct vehicle...!

Those jacks were used for 1934-1936 Auburns six and eight cylinder models. The jack handle is 39 inches long. The shank of the lugwrench is stamped MOTORWHEEL 0564 3/4 HEX

Nice photos...

I know I have the handle in storage. And I'm pretty sure I have a lug wrench also but will have to look closer for the markings on the shank.
