  1. This is mostly a 23-ish lincoln sedan body on a 1928-ish four wheel brake frame. It was made into a pickup in the 40s (maybe) and has been sitting for probably 50 years. The body wood is heavily damaged, the fenders, running boards, hood and all the front end steel parts are rusty (holes). The interior is shot, the wood wheels are shot, the tires, hoses, wiring, radiator and gas tank are shot. The glass is all broken.

    That being said, it is remarkably complete, the engine turns and it looks pretty bad ass. It will require, depending on how crazy one gets, more money to fix than it will be worth. One will have to buy hood, fenders, running boards wheels etc etc and repair the wood structure and build door frames etc. In short, a good bit of money and an even better amount of work. There are, no doubt, many more original lincolns (we like lincolns) that would be more deserving of our efforts. We even have some of them already.....

    It is tempting to part it since it can supply pieces to convert a touring car or something to four wheel brake. It has many hard to find engine parts and body parts that are probably needed on many other cars. It just so sad to take any old car apart these days unless it cannot be saved.

    Opinions please!

    Very nice Linus, great project...Keith

    I have a 1934 Flying Cloud for sale in Northwest Ohio. This car is being sold to settle my Dads estate. It has been sitting(inside) since 1973. Very solid complete car, except for intake and exhaust manifolds are both rusted beyond use. This car is on many Facebook pages, including AACA site. Paulding county (ohio) garage sale site, REO car club and others. To see pictures, go to one of the sites and to see other info. Thanks for looking. John Earl

  3. super articlepost-31098-143142984956_thumb.jpg...all in agreement what a great car it is...learning curve for me since i had thought all 1922 would be 6-51 auburn beauty six thus now we know 6-43s came out the same year. this is 1919 auburn beauty six. i have pics of the green 1922 auburn beauty six referred to from the ACD. WILL look for them. that picture would be interesting since it would have the same headlights as your 6-43 i suspect...

  4. Is there something he can look for to see if the engine is in fact a 6-51?

    6-51 would be the model number for 1922...will post of pic of the engine...also confirm that the radiator emblem states Auburn Beauty Six as in the radiator pic i posted..thanks for all. the advertising brochere i posted is from 1923. will look for a 22. i have in storage but will look for something on the internet. MID TO late 1923 they were no longer the Auburn Beauty Six series plus no longer the 7R engine.post-31098-143142972986_thumb.jpg 1923 AUBURN 6-41 RADIATOR EMBLEM
