1936 Auburn Speedster

В свое время Auburn был известен благодаря продвинутой на тот момент начинке и утонченным стилем. Богатым и знаменитым со всех континентов принадлежали эти автомобили, они были символом успеха.
Несмотря на большие амбиции, Auburn стала жертвой неудачного времени, так была необычайно дорога, она не смогла пережить Великую Депрессию. 7 августа 1937года производство остановилось, компания закрыла свои двери навсегда...

В 70-х годах три крупные компании начали воспроизводить реплики Auburn'а, но и они, не долго оставались на плаву. Цена за реплики сейчас варьируется в районе $100,000 - $120,000.






Спэки:
Engine/Drive Train: The Auburn Speedster was built by California Custom Coach Inc. of Pasadena, CA, and they added a 429 Ford Big Block engine, and a Ford C-6 automatic transmission.
Body & Paint: Randy bought the car with the two tone paint job on it. Feeling the colors complimented the car he left it as is, but added some pinstripping from Jaime "Mr. Wim" Trevino and Rich Luna of Lunatic Customs.
Interior: Since the car was built in 1980, it had several modern pieces on it. Being a guy who pays attention to detail, Randy reversed any modern looking switch, knob, or other details to get that old school look
Suspension: With no trunk in the car, lifting the Auburn was no easy task. With the help of his good friend Harry Nieves, Randy lifted the Speedster. The two old school pumps were neatly tucked away in the front fenders, and the four batteries were installed behind the seat in the area that was originally meant to hold golf clubs.
Tires: 16" Firestone 500/525
Wheels: 16" Artilleries
