1935 Auburn Speedster

I love this 1935 Auburn Speedster!!

The photos don't show the beautiful white-wall tires

with the ribs on them.

I've never seen these kind of tires before,

I think I would like to put a set of these tires on my Auburn. 

If I can find them!!!

1929 Ruxton Front Wheel Drive

I love this Ruxton Front Wheel Drive

with the Woodlite headlamps.

Duesenberg at the ACD Meet

There is something about this Duesenberg Car,

that just "Floats my Boat"!!

I'll take two!!!

 



1954 Corvette

This 1954 Corvette is painted Pennant Blue. 

Not too many of these Corvettes left.

1937 Cord Speedster

I saw this beautiful 1937 Red Coffin-Nose Cord Speedster,
 at this Auto Museum in Laughlin, Neveda.

And, for all you ACD Experts, 

you should know what's wrong with it.

I would love to hear from everyone,

to see what you think of this 1937 Cord Speedster.

I personally love the car, and if the Auburn Automobile Company would have continued building cars,

I bet they would have done this!!!

1930 Chevrolet Sedan

Here's my grandfather all grown up with his 1930 Chevrolet.

He's the boy that was in my photo with the 1915 Buick.

I love these old photos.

1928 Auburn

This 1928 Auburn is a little rough,

but what do you expect after 84 years?

She was just as much fun as the rest of them!!

Duesenberg under restoration

Another Duesenberg under restoration.

I can't wait to see this one completed, and on the road again.

1959 Black Corvette with Gold Plating trim

Here's a 1959 Black Corvette with Gold plating trim.

Everything that was once chrome plated, is now gold plated!!

This car is quite the "Show Stopper"!!

And, she has the trophies to prove it!!



1907 Baker Electric

Here's a 1907 Baker Electric auto,

that a friend of mine had just purchased.

I hadn't put much thought into the old electric autos,

but they are really cool. 

Kind of funny how fashion and auto run in full circles. 

100 years later we are exploring the use of

"Battery Operated Autos"

1937 Cord

This 1937 Cord is in Orange, California. 

We quickly cleaned her up to go for a spin.

Getting rides from friends in their

Auburns and Cords, is so much fun!!

I love traveling the United States to see what my friends

have in their garages.

Auburn V12

I love this Auburn V12. 

I'll take two.

1937 Cord

Another beautiful 1937 Cord,

Waiting for us to take her out for a spin.
This Cord is near Allentown, PA.

Glenn Pray Auburn Boattail Speedster

I got to ride with my friend Gary around town in his

Glenn Pray Auburn Speedster. 
Riding around town in someone else's car
never gets old!!!

Duesenberg under restoration

I thought I would start off the 2012 Car Show season with a

 Duesenberg that is currently under restoration.

1935 Auburn Chassis and Engine

This is my Auburn's engine and chassis when it was on

display at the car show in Forest Grove, Oregon in July, 2000. 

The Auburn sure has come a long way since then,

and we still have a ways to go.

1935 Auburn Speedster Dash

After 15 years, the dash on the passenger side

of my 1935 Auburn Speedster was put together.

Move from Michigan to Oregon in the 1940's

My grandparents when they made the move to the West Coast.

My family used to work for the Buick Motor Company, and moved west to mine in the hills of Grants Pass. Oregon.

I love these old photos.

Auburn Cord Lady with Randy Ema and Felix DeGeyter

 I never made so many boxes in my life,

when we did the inventory for the

Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company.

And then to have, Randy Ema teasing me to boot!!

What's a lady to do???.......

Maybe go for a ride in a Dual Cowl Auburn

 with Felix DeGeyter!!!!



Randy Ema and Felix DeGeyter

Randy Ema and Felix DeGeyter

looking over the diary written by Mrs. Duesenberg.

Nothing like having a piece of history at your fingertips.

1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster



I just love the view looking over the backside of an

Auburn Boattail Speedster!!

Overland Cars Garage

Photo taken around 1918.

This was my Great-Grandfather's garage in Sanish, North Dakota.

If you look inside the garage, you can see a baby in a stroller,

 and a 1915 Buick parked out front.

1915 Buick

This is a family photo taken in 1919

The love of autos must run in the family.

The boy (my grandfather) behind the wheel was named after a

racecar driver of the day, Robert Burman.

Robert Burman and Ab Jenkins were racecar drivers and friends.



Glenn Pray Speedster

Nothing like cruzin around in a Glenn Pray Speedster.

She has modern running gear, and what a BLAST to drive!!

Dumpster Diving for car stuff

I didn't know that "Dumpster Diving" would be so much fun.

I had to see what the guys were digging for,

and join them!!!

This Duesenberg was built by Glenn

at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company.

"Wish List" to add to my stable of autos.

A Lady can always "Hope"!!

1959 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette is not mine,

but I would take her home!!!

There is something about the "Color of Red" on a car!!!

L29 Cord

L29 Cord is one of my most favorite car ever made!!

Auburn Cord Lady with a Glenn Pray 8/10s Cord

Rare Sunny day in Tacoma, Washington in February 2010.

Great day to take a cruz in the Glenn Pray 8/10s Cord.

Any time of year the sun comes out in Western Washington,

we take the classic cars out for a spin. 

This day was about 38 degrees.

Auburn Cord Lady in a Dual Cowl Auburn

The Dual Cowl Auburn,

 built by the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company.

Auburn Cord Lady with Glenn Pray

Glenn and I at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company.

When I was at the ACD Company on my birthday,

they asked me what I wanted to do that day. 

 I said I wanted my picture with Glenn.

This photo was the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT.

1954 All Original Chevrolet Corvette

July 2011

She's not an Auburn, Cord, or a Duesenberg

But, my 1954 All Original Chevrolet Corvette

never gets kicked out of a car show.

On this day, the car won a 6 foot trophy for

"Best All Original" car.

At this show in Puyallup, WA there were just over 700 cars.

1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster

Car show in the Summer of 2010

"Project in Progress"

At this time we had been working on the car 14 years.

Finally after visiting the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, OK

I found most of the parts I was missing.

Auburn Award for "Special Interest Automobile"

The Auburn won an award for "Special Interest Automobile"

in the Summer of 2010.

The car's front end was still off the car,
so she still looked like some kind of "Hotrod".
