    Howdy Folks,
    I recently bought this 1935 Auburn Custom that was finished in 1950. The guy who built the car owned it since 1940 and started working on it after he got back from WWII. He owned it his whole life until he died about eight years ago and it's been in a barn since. I believe it was in Oregon it's whole life. Does anyone know this car or anything about the owner? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks everybody for your kind words.
    Plans for now are just to get it drivable again. Redo the brakes and get the stock motor reliable.
    The car still retains most of it's paint from the 1950 customization, and I think I'd like to keep that for a while. At some point I'd like to change the windshield to make it look a little sleeker. The only problem with that is I really like the way it looks now with the top he built. That and it would radically alter the way this custom has been for 63 years. Any thoughts on that, anybody?

    Never saw an Auburn "Coupster" before but I have now. Interesting piece. The windshield treatment is awkward but that was the 50s. Enjoy it.

    Hmm...it'd be hard for me not to put a Duvall type windshield on it. That'd really slick it up!
    Do you have the bumpers and driving lights for it? Let's see that interior, love those dashes. JohnnyA

    Yes... A Duvall-type windshield was what I was thinking, too.
    Unfortunately the bumpers and driving lights had been sold off by the guy who bought it from the old man's estate. Along with the hood ornament, too. He also sold off some of the gauges, and the radio, but the guy I bought it from had found and bought a replacement speedometer and tach.
    Here's a few shots of the interior. It looks to me like it was done in the 60s. I love the quilted work on the underside of the top.

    I envy you. Recently went to a rod run at Armidale in Australia, part of the run was a tour of a local collection of cars that a family had amassed over 80 years of being car dealers. The standout for a lot of us was a RHD 1935 Auburn cabriolet, perfectly restored and driven often. The rest of the collection they had was incredible [about 90 cars, most in excellent condition] but the Auburn was just a stunner.

    Nice car, what a beauty!! you asked for feedback so here goes: leave the windshield as is, it's an amazing custom that has lasted this long. It's your car do what u want but it looks awesome the way it is. You got the right idea, get it running & safe & enjoy it!!!!

  20. Awesome find. I'm not sure I'd do much to it other than making it nice and shiny the way it was originally built as custom. Hope you find the back story on it because it's very unique.

    Really nice car...wouldn't do anything that couldn't be easily reversed. That said, maybe make the horizontal windshield bar removable with hidden allen bolts hold all together. if done cleanly all you would see is a parting line, and the top would still work. Good luck.

    I'm kinda surprised everybodys so concerned with keeping the bad roadster conversion. When theres a survivor deuce coupester everyone tells the poster good luck finding a top! Its flatout unattractive survivor or not...if anything I'd be tempted to graft a 40's chev/olds or pontiac top on to it. Make a car George Duvall only wish he could have driven. JohnnyA

    What kind of idiot would start parting out a car like that, wow people amaze me!!

    I say dont change a thing, fix it mechanically to be dependable again and maybe polish it up but leave it barn fresh look

    Duvall might look sleeker but I would leave it the time capsule it is

    Congrats and thanks for sharing and please keep posting progress
