Elegant Black with Silver accents, 1932 Auburn 898-A Boattail Speedster with 10 miles since a comprehensive restoration.   This impressive automotive masterpiece, underwent a meticulous multi-year ground up restoration with attention to the smallest details.  Tastefully dressed in black with silver trim to accentuate the gorgeous Boattail body lines and presents with such period features as running boards, correct Auburn depressed beam sealed headlights flanking a 1932 Auburn honeycomb waterfall-style radiator grille, dual side-mount spares with Auburn mirrors and dual Auburn Pilot Ray tail lights. Dual cowl lights, articulated driving lights, trumpet horns and new chromed bows and latches are also fitted. The bench seat interior features contrasting red leather, a dash-mounted mirror, a clock and an engine-turned instrument panel. A period-correct, chrome-plated bronze Mercury radiator mascot serves as the crowning touch to this classic Boattail Speedster.

One of the first genuine American sporting automobiles, the Auburn Boattail Speedster was produced sporadically from 1929 through 1935, its elegant two-seat roadster coachwork and jaunty 4.4L Lycoming Straight Eight engine were the defining elements of style and speed in the late '20s and early '30s. This unique 1932 Auburn 898-A Boattail Speedster was the subject of a comprehensive frame- off nut and bolt restoration incorporating an all-steel body on an original Auburn frame, with all parts machined to fit seamlessly into the chassis for an authentic presentation that includes a topped off with Auburn Lycoming Straight 8 engine components on top of a period correct Buick block mated to a manual transmission. The car rebuilt, air-operated, 2-speed rear end was precisely machined to correctly fit the Auburn chassis as well. This exquisite American Dream Machine is rolling in correct Auburn style on re-chrome wheels and a new set of wide white tires
