1929 Duesenberg
This is J-126. We restored all the drive train components. Then we drove it on a 2,000 mile trip including the Finger Lakes CCCA Caravan.
1929 L-29 Cord Cabriolet
This L-29 is a very early car. I purchased the car, restored it, and then sold it at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. It won best L-29 twice.
1932 Auburn 8-100A Cabriolet
This car came from Ft. Wayne IN. I restored this car, took it to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival and won Best Auburn.
1932 Auburn Sedan
The owner of this car sent it to us for a change of paint and interior. It was bright red and black. These colors are more in line with the original colors Auburn used.
1932 Auburn V12 Boattail Speedster
We had a great time restoring this car. The owner was wonderful to work for. We worked on it together. Owners quite frequently want to work with us on their cars. It's OK with us. After all, this is a fun thing. This car won its class at Pebble Beach.
1935 Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster
What can one say about an 851 Auburn Boattailed Speedster? This was my favorite car as I was growing up -- still is at the top of my list.
1935 Auburn 851 S/C Cabriolet
Auburns are great drivers. That Columbia two speed rear end is sure nice.
1935 Auburn S/C Phaeton
This car arrived to us as a shell of a body and a frame. The car is finished in forest green with an olive drab green top. It received 11 awards in 9 shows.
1937 Cord S/C Brougham
This is pretty typical of the Cords we see. We are very efficient at making patch panels and heli arch welding. We have restored about a dozen of these cars.
1937 Cord Super Charged Phaeton
In any color, these cars look sexy.
1937 Cord Super Charged Phaeton Black
This was best Cord we have ever started with. There was no rust. It had 57,000 miles on it. The owner had one of these cars when they were new. I loved driving this car.
