Details
Nothing short of gorgeous, the Auburn's Lycoming V12 was one of the most powerful engines offered in 1933 for a road-going car and set several speed records that remained standing for several years. The V12 in this example is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This car was originally delivered new to Lee Sturla of Sacramento, CA, before being sold to Wayne Hersted of Tacoma, WA, and later was passed to the custodianship of collector Bob Larrabee. In the 1980s, Larrabee
commissioned a no-expense-spared restoration of the car. It was judged in 1984 and again in 1992 by the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club to be a Category One example with its original Lycoming V12 with chassis #1156 and convertible phaeton sedan bodywork built by the Limousine Body Company. This Auburn shows extremely well with its opulent styling and Murphy-inspired coachwork consisting of long sweeping lines, a tall grille and a characteristically short windshield. The paint quality is gorgeous and the exterior brightwork is excellent and includes chrome knock-off wire wheels. The beltline trim is very elegant, and the unmodified engine compartment is correctly detailed. This car has been freshly serviced and is ready to show or tour. Representing the height of the brand's styling, it serves as one of the finest cars produced from the Auburn car company. Certificates accompany the car.
