dpeeler Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) 1931 Auburn 8-98A Deluxe Phaeton SedanPurchased from Jim Miller (Ontario) in 2010. Mr. Miller was known for his outstanding collection of original cars, many of which were auctioned at Hershey in 2013ACD Certified (A-507) with all original body, engine, and VIN tagsKnown ownership history back to early 1960’s and featured in Automobile Quarterly, Spring, 1967 (copy included)Original owner’s manual and copies of factory Service Manuals and Parts Lists This striking Auburn has never been totally restored. Cosmetically refreshed over the years, it appears to wear only its second coat of paint dating back to the early 1960’s and has its second interior and third convertible top from factory new. In fact, the body has never been off the frame as evidenced by how solid the doors close. The mileage showing is believed to be the original miles and the Auburn man radiator ornament is the original too! Since purchasing the Auburn, we have enjoyed touring in it and it is sorted and ready to go. With a complete tune up, complete new wiring harness, brakes adjusted, fresh tires, and radiator flushed, it runs and drives as good as it looks. With the addition of a new low ratio ring & pinion gears (inside the original rear housing), a hidden electric fuel pump (for back up), and seat belts for safety, it is ready for the enjoyment of worry free touring. The new rear gears were made by Phil Bray and the original gears will go with the car. It has a new leather interior matching the original, new correct convertible top, new runningboard mat and trim, and new stainless steel exhaust system. Price reduced to $105,000 - reasonable offers considered.

dpeeler Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have reduced the price to $ 105,000 and would entertain a reasonable offer. We had it at Hershey and it attracted a lot of attention - probably one of the most photographed cars there! This is a special Auburn and needs to go to someone that will appreciate how nice and solid the car really is and yet enjoy driving it. It is an excellent candidate for the new CCCA Passport Program. Odometer shows 47,XXX and everything about the car makes us believe this to be the original miles.
