E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) I decided to split this off from the thread with the '50 Lincoln. I'm sure most people here aren't interested in a "Stock" classic like this, but for those who are, it'll be fun to share . The "Real" original car was built in 1928, then shown March 5th, 1929 at the Los Angeles Car Show with 320 other cars, in a huge Ringling Bros. style tent. Many were proto-types and hand made cars like this Auburn, and all were destroyed in a historical blaze, that ended the dreams of many car companies and coach builders. Thankfully there are men out there with deep enough pockets and an incredible appreciation for a car like this, that after researching this car, took on the huge project of replicating it 1 to 1, building it in 1985. Then later in 1992, another gentleman, built a stunning phantom open top version. What amazes me is that the car was only around a short while, and these incredible men were able to create such magnificent works of art for us to enjoy and appreciate for ourselves today.

E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Beautiful piece of work and crafstmanship there! I agree completely with your description of the era these type of cars came from. Well done Thanks Ron Yes, amazingly wonderful styles of auto art that we'll never see again, from a bygone era. Glad we have the history books and photo's to bring those days back to us. Good to hear from you Ron. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
