Barn find Auburn

[V12guy]

Was this a find, find, or a known about for years, and finally was able to get them to sell it, find..
cool either way..

A bit of both. We all knew that the chassis did exist, he would drive it in the parade each year. The man intended to put a speedster body on the chassis, the fiberglass body was never installed. The Widow had the chassis and speedster in the yard for sale. She then said "are you going to take the other body?" And we were like WTF?

[V12guy]

Yeah , I'd be cool to meet up sometime . Was a good car show around the square too .

Glad you had a good time!

[V12guy]

silly me, I should have asked if there was a wash-tub of spares lololol

The parts were literally scattered around the Barn. So far we have everything but one running board

I think this was the longest car I've ever seen without being whacked in half and stretched !

A very special car! It's a small miracle that it still exists. The Cord L 29 "E-1" a good group of guys helped to restore it.

No, My V12 car is a 1932 Auburn "Brougham" (fancy name for a 2 door sedan)
The Barn find car is a 1934 4 door sedan, 8 cylinder car, quite different.
This is a pic of the Boat tail I acquired

Boat tail reminds me of the fancy cars Donald Duck drove when he was "rich"
