    Paint/interior 37' 812

    in Auburn Cord Duesenberg (ACD)

    Posted

    The car is one of the first ten "real" 37's produced and not a rebadge. I will post photos after I pick it up in the middle of October. It is currently a maroon repaint and am either going to paint it rich maroon or geneva blue or some close deviation of either. Think I am going to put the new repro heads on it, over going with an old head.

    I would go for an original head, if I didn't think it would be a problem, but am concerned with putting a 70 + year old head on it. Am hoping the motor is good and that will be the next criteria.

    A Drivetrain Question!

    You would be surprised at how well an old 2 wheel drive truck can go through snow!

    Let air out of the tires, add a pair of chains on the back wheels and throw a few hundred pounds of weight over the back axle. I know guys that plow lots like that and never get stuck in the snow.

    Doesn't always take a lot of $ to make something work, just some ingenuity!

    Auburn speedster question

    I know the prices of the speedsters have gone through the roof over the years. Many folks have built the same from sedans. My question is- is there someone specifically who sells repro bodies for these that aren't fiberglass, but built authentically as to the originals?

    Always wanted an original, but don't expect to ever be able to afford one.
