"It is a condition like this that you wish for. Properly weathered condition with the appropriate patina."

Description

This car was purchased brand new in Uruguay's capital, Montevideo. Stamps, etc., are included in the accompanying book with registration information until 1972. The car was exported from Buenos Aires on March 30, 1973, to Norway, where the current owner purchased it on April 29, 1974. There is a lot of paperwork, including receipts for mechanical work and a new convertible roof, as well as import paperwork for both Norway and Sweden. Correspondence with Auburn experts all over the world.
This superb Auburn was restored in Sweden during the 1970s by present owners with the assistance of specialists.

The condition can be defined as good operating order. It has now started and is running on external fuel supply. Before it was garaged ten years ago, it was in good running condition.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car hadn't been driven in ten years. The clutch hydraulics will need to be overhauled. Because the engine is started by an external fuel supply, the fuel system must be inspected.

  • Interior condition:

    Good condition. Some of the interior handles are missing. It comes with some loose ones in a box that need to be renovated.

  • Exterior condition:

    An older good renovation that has aged well over the years. 
    After an accident, the right front part of the front wing was slightly damaged.

  • General condition:

    A good and nice functional condition with some minor damage. Because it hasn't been driven in many years, the car needs to be serviced and reviewed before it can be driven properly.

Facts about the model

Auburn Automobile Company fick namn av staden Auburn, Indiana. Grunden för företaget var Eckhart Carriage Company som startade 1875. Två mindre biltillverkare slogs ihop till Auburn Automobile Company 1909. Det gick bra ända till början av 1920-talet. 1924 stod det runt 800 osålda bilar i lager och företaget var nära konkurs. Företaget var tvungna att göra något och anställde en mycket framgångsrik affärsman vid namn E.L. Cord. Han lackade resolut om bilarna i klara ögonfallande färger och placerade dem på utvalda ställen så kunderna skulle lägga märke till dem och snabbt lägga en order. Tricket lyckades och Cord tog så småningom över ledningen av företaget.
1929 var det mest lyckade året försäljningsmässigt för Auburn. De såldes med en rad olika karosser.
Motorn är en Lycoming rak 8-cylindrig maskin på 268 cubic inches. Växellådan är manuell och har treväxlar framåt.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
