I'm sure the new owner will as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Worked fine for me on my iPad, John. Just now, and several hours ago also. I sure like the '23 Lincoln. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Hud Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just my opinion but it doesn't get much better than the '33 Auburn if you're talking attractive cars. Art with wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 and the guess on the final hammer for the auburn? what are the bidders fees as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Not sure what the market is on them as I don't have the money to play with them now but i know the 12 commands more than the 8. I would guess around 100G. It's not a fresh car as it has a small rip in the top and some paint issues on the rear pan below the rumble lid. It would be the perfect candidate for me if I wasn't so broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was right on, on that one. Now if i hadn't built a big garage, I would have had enough money to buy it. I guess I can't have both. I either get a nice car and not enough place to store it, or a nice place to store a car I can't afford. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 auburn, that is why I use storage bodies on my property. they arent great, but they certainly are affordable and I will be gone in 20 years anyway! good call on the hammer down.

auburnseeker Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Unfortunately? we have a pretty nice piece of property with a nice house that I can't hide a storage body on well, so I am stuck with building a "nice" garage. That Auburn really deserves to be in a nice dry heated garage, especially with the Northeast temperature swings and humidity. I just need to learn to live within my beer pocketbook and forget the champagne taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) I'm sipping a beer now. Champagne gives me a headache. Anyone know what the Franklin sold for? Edited October 22, 2018 by ericmac Forgot a question (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say without seeing it in person as to be perfect looked like it needed a re restore, but I would have been more than happy to have it with a little age on it, so I could enjoy it.

58L-Y8 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Having seen it person for years at local shows, the Auburn was a nicely preserved, maintained car with some restoration work done probably in the 1960's, then enjoyed. The chrome wire wheels have been done recently, my old photos show them painted with black-wall tires. At any rate, it is a sweetheart of a car, lucky the new owner who won this, hope he appreciates and takes good care of what he's bought.
