Description for Other Makes 1936 851 SECOND GENERATION AUBURN SPEEDSTER 1936
Exemplary Original Condition Auburn Boat Tail Speedster12,260 Original MilesIn 1960,the Auburn Cord Duesenberg factory was sold and all its original parts inventory, shop drawings, bucks and jigs were utilized by west coast artisans to create an instant secondary Auburn Speedster's market. As astute automobile collector and former Ford Chairman Lee Iacocca stated these second generation Auburns are "A continuation of an iconic American Classic". Due to a legal omission in the purchase of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company the Auburn Boat Tail Speedster trade mark lapsed into public domain allowing after market builders and fabricators to recreate replicas or more appropriately termed "Second Generation" cars with new-old Auburn stock and recast and also re-manufactured parts. This absolutely is NOTa kit car. The same omission in protecting the trade mark occurred with Carroll Shelby's Cobra and the Ford GT 250 allowing replicas into the market.

Extremely Low and Rare 12,260 ActualLifetime MilesThe original Auburn Boat Tail Speedsters were produced from 1925 to 1936 in Auburn, Indiana and considered by most automotive enthusiasts as the Most Beautiful Carever built and the first true Big Bodied Speedster ever produced. This Second Generation Auburn 857 was built in 1978 by the Custom CValifornia Coach in Pasadena, California from the original casts and molds from the actual Auburn Automobile Company in Auburn, Indiana. The AUBURN CORD DUESENBERG Company was purchased in the mid 1960's by the forward thinking Glenn Pray and these second generation models were based on the desirable 1936 Auburn with outstanding reliable performance and sensational curb appeal and was professionally manufactured in the second generation Auburn Speedster factory in southern California to extremely high standards. This car is indistinguishable from an authentic Auburn Speedster!!
This 1978 model has superb excellent age related patina that screams "antique" and shows very, VERY minimal signs of wear and imperfection in the exterior paint and also throughout the interior as this magnificent Art Deco automotive masterpiece has been pampered, and meticulously maintained and stored indoors in a heated garagefor its entire life and it shows, and regularly serviced to keep it in superb aesthetic and very reliable operating condition.
