auburnseeker Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 I wish I had better photos but we dropped it right in the garage so not much chance to get far away shots with all the junk in the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 A shot inside to show it has more than springs and Mexican blankets. Unfortunately not leather but atleast the right style and not another tan that matches all the rest of the tans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I like the color. It has an understated elegance that works very well with the lines of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Comment of my “convertible sedan” issue............ Not all of them are unacceptable to me......... The Auburn is one of the best looking ones made.......... When collecting multiple cars.......which I do, they usually don’t fit into my garage strategy. Yup, I plan on what I collect. The only ones I find acceptable are either too expensive...............aka Packard Custom Dietrich split windshield, V-16 Cadillac Murphy; or the chassis and platform are not appealing to me, or they are just heavy in their lines. The ACD brands all appeal to me, and MOST body styles in ACD cars are better than average in style............. The only reason I absolutely didn’t jump on the car..........I’m a V-12 guy at heart...........and I am intrested in playing around with the platform..........I have extensive experience in wrenching and working on all the ACD engines.............extensive means having my hands in the engine internals..........I have dug in deep on the Duesenberg A & J, and even played around with an X. Auburn eights have succumbed to my hands also.....with and without blowers. The Cord is the one brand a I have had less to do with, but have worked on the straight and V-8 cars to a reasonable extent. I want to tear into a V-12 Auburn.........just have that itch that needs to be scratched. Don’t get me wrong........Randy’s car would have filled the void I wanted to fill..........it just made more sense for him to have it than for me.

The 32 Ford is in the middle and the Hudson of course is in front of the Auburn. I can even still walk around. (well sort of) I figured I wouldn't be buying any more cars until the shop was done. Then this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Matt had it right away, but then again he had one in his inventory at one time so he knew the little differences. I figured the massive Chrome hinges would be the giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Again thanks for all the kind words. I keep getting limited on likes. Secretly I think Ed is pushing for double sided whitewalls. Maybe even some Buell air horns on the hood.

edinmass Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Randy, I have a factory Model J air horn with compressor, and all the accessories on the shelf.........yup, for real. It’s one of three or four known in the J world. I took it off a JN that the owner didn’t like the looks of it under the hood. I kinda liked it.......... White walls.........well, first you can’t even consider them unless you have side mount covers. Not sure what to do with your wheel color yet.........I will need some more photos of the car outside..........not sureI can even come up with something that will look correct or better.

Xander Wildeisen Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 One of the best looking convertible sedans ever built, IMO. Does someone owe Matt $5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Now that we know the body style does anyone remember the dark green one that went through the AACA judging system 20-25 years ago owned by a woman, last name started with an A, google turned up nothing.

oldcarfudd Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Classic sailboat owners say you have the right boat if, when you've put it on its mooring and are rowing your dinghy back to shore (facing your boat), you want to linger and enjoy the view. I hope you clear a path from where you park to where you enter your home, because you're going to walk that path backward slowly while you linger and enjoy the view, and you don't want to trip. That is a glorious machine. May it give you many years of pleasure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do with your wheel color yet.........I will need some more photos of the car outside..........not sureI can even come up with something that will look correct or better. Well I think I atleast have the face plates if not the rings as well. Turns out someone gave me a set of sidemount covers This summer and I wasn't sure what they fit. From what I have found on line and tried on the wheels I might just have a winning set. Strange how some things come to be. As I mentioned I almost as in had cash in hand and was literally a second away from yelling out an offer on that 32 Plymouth at Hershey that probably would have taken it, but I stopped dead. I had this feeling there was something better waiting. Never expecting it to be this a few months later. I still have to sneak a peek when I go by the garage to make sure it's in there. How long does that last? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That is so much better looking than the one I was trying to look at for you in central Illinois. I like the styling of the early thirties models much better than some of the later ones. You were right to wait - and man did it pay off! Just a beautiful car from every angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 16 hours ago, edinmass said: In the last two weeks I helped three people locate a pre war car and secure it. I enjoy helping others find the car they always wanted. Best part of the hobby.....helping others and making friend doing it. Hey ED, I will be your friend. Ever since I was about 12 years old and a doctor neighbor of mine had an old rusty Pierce Arrow that he took out maybe once or twice a year one has been on my bucket list. Now that am retired and could probably afford one I don't know where to look. I am partial to the big sedans, (the later ones) although the docs was a roadster. These days a well sorted patinaed original appeals more to me than restored cars. But as a recent buyer in this thread exclaimed "beggars cant be choosers".

Matt Harwood Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Boom! Convertible sedan! I knew it! What do I win? Awesome car, Randy. You're going to love it. Like Ed said, a few minor tweaks and you'll have a great car that will be welcome anywhere. Congratulations again! PS: Just a few well-placed pinstripes in the right color can work wonders. This burgundy one came to us without stripes and adding a few subtle lines in a fairly neutral taupe color really transformed the car. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcarnut Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Great News! Congratulations. I like the trunk and whitewalls. A nice couple from Vermillion, Ohio, Ken and Kay Evenson had one of these they drove on Ohio Region Tours back in the 1970's and 1980's.
