auburnal Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 heres a fun pix that clearly illustrates that owning an Auburn is a definite advantage when it comes to attracting the fairer sex ...only wish i discovered this 40 years ago !!! ha ha. this is my old Auburn at the Arrowtown Festival NZ with the beautiful "Buckingham Belles" getting ready for a spin around town ,as you can see they are all so happy in anticipation of takimng a ride in a "real" car Designer Al Leamy with E l Cords direction produced what I think are the most dramatic in an era of austerity . love to see some more Auburn /cord pix simiiar hope you enjoy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was back in 1970 on a day when my big brother took the car to school (I was only 14.) The second is this summer, when I drove my three nieces to the oldest one's wedding. Your car is beautiful, too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Closest I have as she's not on the road yet, but she wants to drive it to school when she gets older. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnal Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 well that is a cute pair indeed a beautiful girl and a beautiful Auburn ..Im never sure whether I like the Phaeton or the Cabriolet the most ? but I do love your colour scheme choice. I guess if I had choice it would be a fleet of 31/32 Speedster / cabriolet/ phaeton and a nice sedan for wet days too !!!😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I actually wasn't all that crazy about the color when I bought it, but it's slowly growing on me, especially after wet sanding and buffing out the whole car, which I did after this picture. The subtle differences and it's more of a creamy yellow than tan make you examine her styling more to see the little details than the hard contrast I have seen on others. Not to say I don't like the darker colors. I really like these in dark shades but it almost seems kind of fitting on this one. I definitely wouldn't want it on a speedster but it works on a phaeton. I love the black red combo with chrome wires on your Cabriolet. When I bought it, I actually wanted a phaeton. I missed out on a cabriolet prior. So actually glad I did.

auburnal Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 thanks for your comments I think you have a beautiful car here ..If I might comment but not critique I think a well chosen colour for the lining on the accents would really lift the car more and Chrome wheel rings do nothing its still a beauty l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had discussed different accent colors when I bought it, but I haven't gotten to that point. I think we had it down to Maroon or blue accents, but I'm still not sure as in some light it looks yellow and not tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more into dark cars, but if your car was mine, I am positive that I'd leave it alone. It looks great as is. Sometimes good intentions go wrong..... That swoopy body style does not need anything to accentuate any details, it might distract from the super nice flow it has now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Here is an outside shot of a different angle. New tires will help alot so they don't match the rims. LOL I also have sidemount covers for it and a better trunk to paint up to match. See here it looks more tan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Most if not all Auburn’s are good looking in the original colors! Why mess with it when it is already perfection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil necessity - car has near zippo storage space inside. Trunks will be the death of me - they look so harmless and then the issues restoring and bills for plating, paint, upholstery, and ....

edinmass Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) No need for a trunk.....properly sorted cars don't need any storage space............since I no longer change flat tires on the side of the road, I don't even carry a jack.
