jrbartlett Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 This is my '35 Auburn super-charged convertible, which has been on a lot of tours in Texas. My brother and I restored the car from the frame up in the early 1990s -- we knew the car as teenagers back in the '60s. 279-cubic-inch straight 8 Lycoming engine with a Swizter-Cummings supercharger, 3-speed transmission and 2-speed rear axle with a 3.23-to-1 high. 2500 RPM at 70 MPH. Overall, a great road car. I plan on going through the engine this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Wow, what a beautiful car. I have a 1937 Cord phaeton that I have owned for 20 years or more, so am not new to ACD cars. Realizing that I will not be in a position to get a D car, and having a C car, I now am thinking that an A car would be a worth addition to the stable. They are such pretty cars.Again, great car, you should be proud of it, and "knowing" the car from your childhood is a plus! Thanks for posting pic. David Coco Winchester Va.

Ray Bell Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 If it's of any interest, the other day I had a look over a nicely restored '35 6-cyl (unsupercharged) roadster... also 2-speed rear equipped, and the owner couldn't help himself, he had to make manifolds anyway so he took the pipes out the side.

jrbartlett Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 My own take on Auburns is that although they are sort of a lower-rent classic car, they have such nice lines and flashy touches that they are very appealing, especially to members of the general public who don't know much about older cars. I've had countless people rave over my car, while ignoring more expensive, higher-quality and more-painstakingly-built cars. But mine has red paint -- check. Lots of chrome -- check. External exhaust -- check. So there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirdman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Like this 33 Auburn which I think is a very nice car though small inside. Sorta like a mini Duesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
