These are awesome cars to drive. This is a great example as a MC OTS with matching numbers but how much money do you need to mix in to get it to this point:

These are awesome cars. A buddy and I once drove one from Mass to Hershey at about 80mph the whole way. That was maybe 35 years ago?
However, you better have an electrical engineering degree if you need to figure out how to put the top down.

I remember when they used to say "I bet Bill Harrah would buy that".
Do you think Bill ever had to pay retail for a car? I don't think so. People were so happy to tell their friends that Bill Harrah bought their car.

A Duesenberg Limo was "discovered" in a machine shop about 3 miles from our shop. Unfortunately I didn't have the $10 grand asking price.
You sure it wasn't a Buick?

One doesnt need 20 acres and a 30,ooo sf shop to restore a car! I restored my car in the space of a one car garage. Yes I will add at the time I had a 3 car garage but the space was limited to one bay. My wife will not tolerate her car setting outside, it has not done so in almost 40 yrs. I did a rotisserie restore, and painted in that small space. Now the car is parked in that bay. So a one car garage bay will suffice. I know people that have restored cars with less!
Kerry,
Allow me to educate you on my system. Put the cars in the garage during the summer when she will park outside. Don't run them for 3 or 4 months after which they won't run anyways. Then explain that the cars are dead and won't move.

I have clearly not turned the tide on the whitewall infestation.

I have always like the late K Judkins bodied cars. Anybody remember this
10 hours ago, Matt Harwood said:Looks like a decent car. No word on how it runs, so hopefully they'll post a video. Older restoration, good colors, not the most desirable body style but good for touring. Needs some engine detailing, but if it runs well there's no rush. Hackey electric fuel pump install. That trunk can go back on the shelf. Tires look like Denmans, which have been out of production for nearly two decades, so plan on a set of rubber for driving. Hard to guess on value, but I'd be shocked if it tops $35K. Still, BaT is unpredictable--there are a few guys there who spend big money apparently just to please the crowd, and a crowd that knows nothing about these cars. Plan on a week of inane comments like "I can see FDR riding around in this!" and "Someone call Jay Leno!" and "Needs a tommy gun and a fedora!"
I'll be watching with mild interest. I'd also like to buy those spare brake drums...
The quickest way to become uninteresting to me is to say "I'll bet Jay Leno would buy that".

Would a 1938 Graham Model 97 Supercharger interest anyone?
Depends. Is it a Combi-coupe?

I'm assuming the 400 didn't get the dual quad?

Your best bet if you want something big and cool is to find a running lafrance that somebody has already started as a speedster project and cut the firewall down and get the right wheels made. Those engines are big and make a lot of noise.
I don't want to throw water on your Mcfarlan plan but the chances of getting a stray engine are next to zero.

Still got this one. This one is a tough one as well.
I assume it is the Dupont Model G. Not tough.

Matt needs to chime in. Everybody remember this one? I was infatuated with but have learned my lesson too many times.

I'll probably bomb this one. A Brewster body with upside down-mounted handle (swapped L-R) on a Rolls PII?

1975,or 1976.Really,give us some information.
1921 to 1928. That is gonna be a really tough find. Do you have a complete car minus the engine? There are very few known cars.

1939 Mercedes-Benz 770K (I could be off a few years).
I would say it was this car, but the Gen Lyon's Offener Tourenwagen is black and the pictures look blue?

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1939-lincoln-k-model-407-b-seven-passenger-limousine/
This 1939 Lincoln Model K is one of 58 examples produced with 407–B seven-passenger limousine bodywork for the model year. Chassis K9479 is said to have spent 50 years with a previous owner in Florida before it was purchased by the seller in 2010. The car is finished in blue over gray cloth upholstery, and power comes from a 414ci V12 paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes power-assisted four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, 17″ artillery-style wheels, dual side-mount spares, Trippe driving lamps, a greyhound hood ornament, a rear-mounted Taylor luggage trunk, an AM radio, a heater, rear jump seats, and a robe bar. This final-year Model K is now offered with literature, spare parts, an additional luggage trunk, a picnic set, and a clean Indiana title in the seller’s name.
This example is said to have been repainted in its factory Washington Blue several decades ago and features chrome bumpers and trim, teardrop-shaped headlights integrated into the fenders, Trippe driving lamps, a greyhound hood ornament, a centrally hinged louvered hood, running boards, rear-hinged rear doors, dual taillights, a bustleback trunk, and an external Taylor luggage trunk. Paint chips on the hood are noted by the seller.
The 17″ body-color artillery-style wheels wear chrome hubcaps and trim rings, and they are mounted with Denman whitewall bias-ply tires. Dual spare wheels are mounted in body-color covers topped with mirrors in the front fenders. The Model K was offered on two wheelbases in 1939 and featured leaf springs at all four corners. Stopping power is provided by vacuum-assisted mechanical drum brakes all around.

Looks like a new Ferrari marketing expo.
The sponsorships from the exotic car dealers are super important to the bottom line for these shows. Have you ever seen the temporary dealership buildings that get put up for Pebble? Insane.

You see so few of the hardtops. How do I distinguish it from a 400 which are everywhere.

1955 Jaguar XK140, Barn Find - $33,000 (San Luis Obispo County)
in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale

This is what I've figured out. There is no middle class anymore in the collector car hobby. There are guys that will buy the dirt cheap project version of a car and there are guys that will be the best example of a car but there is nobody to buy a really nice car with flaws. The blue car has the matching head in the trunk and is a color change. It is half the price of a perfect car and twice the price of a basket case. No man's land.
