Just for general information you might give this a look https://www.atlasobscura.com/

In 1935, The Auburn Auto painted four of their cars white and toured them around the country, promoting the company. These dapper young men have stopped at Landy's Clothing store on Main St. in Auburn, Indiana to get outfitted for the tour and are posing with one of the cars. Sadly the company was struggling and closed two years later.

I have to admit I have not seen the car around town and if I has seen it I would have remembered it.

That era Studebaker was certainly not their finest hour at least as far as styling.

My thoughts exactly.

But just imagine how bad it could have been if some amateur had got a hold of it.

Then as Jack said cables or ground especially ground is likely. Then have starter tested as there could be a short.

Does it come with an old Honda Civic to help push it into the parking spots? Joking aside, looks like a nice big highway cruiser.

Load test your battery as well just to be sure

And sadly the nomenclature is wrong as well. P24 is a 1953 Plymouth. And I was so close to making an offer. But title issues... But there are 5 bids on it so maybe the title is ok that way.

So ugly it's gorgeous

Yes, I believe that they think since they are the owner that a potential buyer who is perhaps not very knowledgeable about old cars will believe that the owner knows everything about the car and more importantly, would never lie.

I agree. I have never seen one routed like that.

I can't imagine a V8 from 1934 not having an electric starter. Now working

Many add an electric 6 volt pump near the tank to use when this occurs. It will push fuel into the carb. You can also install a spacer to isolate the carb from the manifold to help reduce heat. You can make a shield for the fuel pump and install it over the pump as was suggested. My 52 doesn't have one but I have never had a problem with vapor lock.

Yes it looks correct. Plymouth flathead(or similar Dodge etc.) and the floor shift trans would be correct for a truck and maybe a car of that era.

While true there are not a lot of them around that truck might need everything up to and including the proverbial kitchen sink. I am not clear if the engine in the bed is the engine for the truck or a spare. Price is too high in my estimation either way.

I understand you joe. I was being factious with my remark. Not advocating someone actually do it.

And the point is? 😀

Well maybe with a 390…

Whenever I see a car like that that looks good I can’t help but wonder why it has been sitting for a long time.

Hello and welcome from your Southern neighbor

Lot of money for a driver though.

Critical is good. I do think from what I can see it is basically nice. That said for that kind of money I would either have to see it in person or a whole lot more information and pictures. It is worth looking into if you wanted one. This is one case where being rare is true and might help a sale if someone really wants an old Plymouth station wagon.

It does look pretty nice although I never owned a Mustang of that era I did have a fiend who had two both six cylinder automatics. I would look very carefully at the rust areas even though they appear to be surface in the photos. The other thing that might or might not drive you a little nuts is the dual exhaust dumping out in front of the rear wheels. If the engine is loud it can really be annoying on anything but short trips. Another ask me how I know question. It all comes down to price and desire. If you really want this car it is easy to rationalize away any problems or potential issues. Another ask me how I know thing. Taking into account what m-mman has said(and the fact that if you drive carefully some of that can be lived with like the transmission) and if the price for a modified vehicle is reasonable enough to give you some leeway for what will need to be fixed you could certainly do worse.
