The lifelong collections of longtime AACA Members Remy and Betty Baker are being auctioned this weekend in Liberty, SC, between Atlanta & Charlotte off I-85.
The SC and NC AACA regions and many other clubs have been visiting this legendary collection, 67 years in the making, housed in an old schoolhouse, for decades.
There are brass cars, parts, some fine touring cars, all pre-war, plus enough collectibles, furniture and stuff to fill many man and woman caves.
These two Hupps are a couple of the more interesting cars in the auction. I just learned of this sale, and am sharing the info on behalf of my dear friend Betty. Remy passed away last July. Preston Opportunities is handling the auction.
From the Baker Auction catalog.
I'll be on hand from Thurs. through Sat. to answer any questions about these unusual automobiles.
Regards,
TG

An important car in the auction is this 1902 CDO that participated in Detroit's Golden Jubilee in 1946, still owned by the same family. I just learned of this sale, and am sharing the info on behalf of my dear friend Betty. Remy passed away last July. Preston Opportunities is handling the auction.
From the Baker Auction catalog. The lower left photo is likely from the Detroit 100 Centennial in 1996, not the Golden Jubilee (shown at right).
She fired up in about 40 minutes after a long slumber!
Experts say it's a #4 car, in decent overall shape. The incorrect wheels/tires should be an easy fix.
I'll be on hand from Thurs. through Sat. to answer any questions about this historic automobile.

Sorry for all the posts, but I didn't know any other way to get the basics out to you.
I am sure the auctioneer won't let this happen again, and he is happy for the help.

Here are links to most of the cars in this auction.
The Catalog does not do this incredible collection justice, but they never do. Please call or email if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Thanks Henry for your concern, in the post below. Remy & Betty Baker opened their collection to clubs and friends for decades. My posts are out of order.

Good question, and I hope there's an answer other than finding a good used one.
The good news is that a fascia from a Century, Super or RM will work; same part used by all.
How many '57 RMs Down Under? Must be pretty rare cars down there.
Good luck in your quest, and welcome to the Forums,

Thomas22,
Awesome '57 Special, and please follow Mr. Earl's recommendations!
Dan & Keith,
We covered the sweepspear color change in a post some time ago, a post that also touched on wheels.
I'm glad Dan picked up on the two-tone spare with its painted felloes.
Really great time-capsule car!

Anyone remember Hasbro's "Amaze-A-Matics" cars that included a chunky version of the '69 Century Cruiser? I got the Buick for Christmas back then, wrecked it, and have a beater replacement for it in the office (collecting dust). The programmable cards were supposed to replicate famous tracks like LeMans, Riverside, etc.
You don't see that Century Cruiser very much, so it's cool to see it included in the list.

Rob, you're slipping! Scroll down the page of that particular car's image from that episode,
and look what appears...
So maybe there is a Santa Claus for Mr. Ghia, after all. And a new area of study for '58 experts.
Lots of great cars to ogle in their elements on the IMCDb Highway Patrol main page, so thanks, Rob.

For years little was really known about the Cadillac, and much was learned about it following Morgan Murphy's discovery and purchase, through his exhaustive research. Our reference books are great, but some contain misattributions, corrected with new info that's been learned after their publication. A great source of info on many of the custom Cadillacs through the years is the ever-changing Cadillac Database. (Scroll down to find the '41's, including The Duchess). And you're right, it's a great thing that Earl liked Buicks (a lot); for '42 they offered an amazing range of models...

That particular 1941 Cadillac built by Coachcraft Ltd....
The "Duchess" was a complete Fleetwood build, not Coachcraft, whose creation was heavily photo-documented by Fleetwood (GM in-house) and the Styling Section. The GM Heritage Center provided her owner with the build photos of the car in the studio, and at the time of her delivery in Manhattan.
The only production cars to use Air Foil styling were 1942 Buick Roadmaster sedanet and convertible, and Super sedanet and convertible. This body style lasted thru 1948 in Buick only.Correct for the prewar '42's, but the '46-'48 Super and Roadmaster sedans (Models 51, 71) and Estate Wagons ('46-'48 Super Model 59, '47-'48 Roadie Model 79) also used the flow-through fender/door treatment.
Larger, a '42 Super formerly from the Lewis Jenkins Collection.
Larger, a '47 Roadmaster and '48 Fleetwood with the MATS Constellation in the late-'90's in Greenville, SC.
I attended the auction, and must eat crow for my my high bid expectations posted above. The "Duchess" is stunning to behold in person with an almost-sinister beauty, and was a style-leader well past the end of WWII. By adding 10 inches to a Series 62 chassis, the rear door openings did not become part of the rear fender as on the '42 & '47 Buick sedans seen above.
From the London Daily Mail item.

They probably tortured their dolls and immolated their big wheels when they were kids.
One more reason to stay away from any program with, ".......Busters" in its name.
