For WYR I will take the Auburn Speedster all the way but in the maroon color. And as for the song, I am thinking that it could possibly be "I Love You Today More Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Staircase, or maybe "Make Me Smile" by Chicago. It's probably neither, but I will go with my Chicago selection.

WYR: As a A-C-D fan, I'll go with the Auburn and the Cord. I actually saw a genuine Boattail Speedster in the (semi) wild. I was on my way to a car show in Granite Falls, NC and came upon the car off the road on a curve. Did a quick U-turn and stopped a little ways behind it with my flashers on (since of course his car had none). Turns out he ran out of gas shortly after leaving the show and had called back to the show to get someone to bring some gas. I sat there till the sag wagon arrived ! He seemed impressed that I knew as much about the car as I did. We talked about the A-C-D museum which he'd attended during their annual festival. Told him that the 810/812 was one of my all-time favorite cars and the Boattail Speedster was up there, but hampered by the number of reproductions.

I’ve never heard one run before the only ones I’ve ever seen in person. Besides, this one is replicas some are way better than others. I saw a replica a show that I had a double take because it looked like a legit Auburn speedster the body was pretty close to identical, somebody don’t look anything like the Auburn speedster does but this one looks pretty close.. think factory five Shelby cobra those are close to a rear Shelby not the same but close. Only noticed it was a replica whenever I looked underneath the hood and saw a 350 in the engine bay the replica that I saw, I had an engine, turned dash but it was still really nice car for a replica

Awesome =) happy you dig this episode There’s companies that make stellar Auburn replicas, and then there’s other companies that they don’t look as good same thing with the cord I’ve seen replicas that look identical to the real ones until you look in the interior and I’ve seen other ones that aren’t good

My Grandfather was a worker in the interior trim shop at Auburn and I wish that he was still around to comment on the interior of this Speedster. Something worth noting is that in the early 1930's Auburn sales and it's position in the market actually improved! One of the things that bothers me about Auburn is that the average Auburn was not nearly as luxurious as this Speedster or most of the cars you see in collections. My Grandfather bought a 1936 651 sedan but you rarely see these and it's hard to find a 'run of the mill' Auburn any where. By the way, while all the late production Auburns and Cords were assembled At Central Manufacturing in Connersville, the 'open' bodys were made at Union Auto Body in Union City and shipped to Central Manufacturing in Connersville. Only the 'hardtop' models were built entirely at Connersville. After Aubrun shut down the Packard Darren cars were made at Central in Connersville and they went on to stamp bodies for Jeeps on into the 1950's.

Thank you so much for sharing all of that information. I really wanted to cover a lesser known Auburn as the first Auburn ever covered on this channel. I really wanted to cover a six cylinder to be honest but as you mentioned they were so hard to find, and it kind of sucks in a way that the speedster just eclipses everything else that that company did they made great cars besides the speedster As you mentioned researching this episode, I came across other dashboards to other Auburn cars and they wasn’t this caliber. The supercharged cars got this dashboard if you got the 851 you got a different dashboard and it wasn’t as nice it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t this dashboard… I didn’t see what the 653 dash looked like. I’m hoping to cover at least one more Auburn before the year is over. I really want to find a six cylinder.

@@What.its.like. i was at a car show in Connersville and someone brought an un-restored, very rough looking 1933 Auburn sedan. It is the only car I've seen that was not a deluxe model that the brand has become known for. Modern builders have named limited production cars "halo models" and Cord understood the value of these very well when he ran Auburn. These exciting models were how he kept his dealers loyal in the depression. My Grandfather's 36 sedan was a working man's car but was still something 'special' to my Mother who had little experience with anything but Fords.

The license plate light, is , absolutely, outstanding.

Never saw a real one but built the kit back in the early 80's on a Ford LTD chassis and put a T-bird 460" in it. Car drew people like flies to a cow pie. As a teenager I did see the Cord roadster as the neighbors uncle had one he would drive over once in a while. He also had a beautiful Pierce Arrow roadster.

He was also one of the guys (not Mr Jenkins) who tested the cars to make sure they could go 100 MPH... The guy in Oklahoma literally ahs all the spares and occasionally restores or spits out a car now and again....

Hi Jay! What a superior episode, what a superior automobile! The redesign of the Auburn for 1935-36 by Gordon Buehrig produced one of the most beautiful automobiles of the period.

Wow, what a beautiful car! I'm impressed with the amount of research you do for your vids. Duesenberg and Auburn used inline engines, so the exhaust appears on one side only. The Cord 812 had a V8, so it had pipes out of both sides. Glenn Pray also built replica Cords, but they were 8/10ths as big as the original, so it was named the 8/10, and used a Corvair power train mounted in front, and had front wheel drive. If it had a turbo, it had the dual outside pipes, just like the original. And the body was called Royalex, a kind of plastic pioneered by U.S Rubber (later Uniroyal). WYR= absolutely all of them.

I believe today’s episode is going to be early Lincoln V8s Leland, V8 and the model K v8 I got most of the script wrote I just gotta find a couple more pieces of information I wanted to do an engine company like kohler or Cummins but maybe next week I look forward to reading your comments because you’re one that always comments on all the videos that I do. Everybody that does KZread does it for a different reasons I love the community I love interacting with you guys. It’s one of my favorite things to do and I don’t understand why more people don’t… when I say I’m just a regular person just a regular guy I really truly mean it

You should review a 1950 or 51 Bullet nose Studebaker, they’re probably my favorite Studebakers because the styling is so unique compared to everything else of that era

There is one in the pipeline I’m not entirely sure when it’s going to be on the channel. I think I’m going to try to do that after the Chrysler royal I want to do the Chrysler royal tomorrow.

All the A-C-D cars of the thirties were the most beautiful cars of the classic period , if not all time. I always loved the boat tail rear end of the Auburn Speedster, the '37 Cord 812, and of course the Duesenbergs , especially the model J. I too was surprised to see only 4 exhaust pipes on one side of the hood. I thought there was 4 on each side. Obviously each pipe served two cylinders ( save money ?) WYR 1 1935 Auburn Speedster, WYR 2 the 1937 Cord 812. The others while attractive in their own right, especially the Packards, they are not in the same class as A-C-D cars.

Another one of your landmark reviews, Jay! I'd hate to drive one of these in traffic nowadays, would probably cause a number of accidents by distracting other drivers. I hope you get to visit the Nethercutt Museum in the metro L.A. region sometime. I don't think those side-pipes are for exhaust...seem to recall that they direct air to the supercharger. WYR: 1 - Auburn 2 - Cord.

Thank you great choices There’s a lot of museums that I need to hit. I want to go to California so bad I wanted to go to Monterey pebble Beach for over 10 years now, I definitely want to go to the Peterson. I’m not not sure when I’m gonna get the chance to go to California. It probably won’t be until next year at the earliest it might even be the year after that I’m going to try to go to the ACD this year, especially for their shindig in August. I really want to go…

I recall a dealership that sold Auburn replicas in the early 1980s. My cars of choice would be the 1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow and the Cord 812.

Just like the Shelby Cove Brothers, all kinds of companies that make replicas of this car, some look identical to the actual car until you get to the interior and underneath the hood and others don’t look as good to put it nicely Broken arrow Oklahoma is doing the Auburn too. It’s a more modern version of the original car. Great choices

1937 however was not the end of E. L. Cord - he went on to make another fortune in real estate and dabbled in Nevada politics. This guy did end up with rainbows and unicorns. You should hit the ACD museum; it is as stunning, though different, as the Gilmore. Don't skip the extensive collection beyond the main showroom / lots of rare stuff there too. The 851 was truly a masterpiece of design and (relatively) affordable for what you got - though of course not really practical - you needed to be a 'man about town' with other vehicles in your home garage (mainted by someone else of course), or a Hollywood star. WYR: you're right, this is just not fair. 1) Silver Arrow - and money is a factor here, since there are only 3 of them in the world today 2) The Talbot-Lago - that is even more of a rolling work of art.

EL cord went on thank you so much for sharing that information and insight I need to go to the ACD i’m really hoping to go there this year for the Auburn cord and Duesenberg shindig.. that building/showroom looks absolutely stunning. That’s the way a dealership should be in my opinion chandeliers pillars just pure atmosphere.. Great choices Did you ever notice the Bugatti type 57 and the Talbot-lago as well as Delahaye all made the same body shape car with different front ends

"Hey, do you think you can do a car with this old junk we've got laying around?" "I don't know, I guess so. What kind of budget do I have to work with?" "Here's my lunch money, I'm not really hungry today." And from this conversation comes one of the most beautiful and desirable cars ever made 😎 OK, it probably didn't quite go like that but you'd have expected more of a cobbled-together frankenstein than this gorgeous car which shows not one hint of it's austere background, truly a real-life rags to riches thing. Like so many others have said I didn't know the exhaust pipes were drivers-side only and I expected it to be lighter as well given it's performance which was nothing short of amazing for it's time. WYR the Delahaye is swoopy and classy as is the Pierce Arrow and the Packard a classic, but the Auburn wins hands down. #2 the Cord is iconic but once again there is nothing which can match the Auburn SC 851, a gourmet meal assembled from leftovers 😁 Unsubbed and resubbed but still not getting notifications here or for several other channels I follow. I'm beginning to think that KZread hates me!

I don’t know why the notification thing isn’t working.. KZread is a big place. When I try to explain how things are my channel is like a candle compared to a lot of other channels it might have upgraded to a mini flash, but in the very early days it was a candle., actually in the early days it was probably a mini match.. anyway, like I said KZread is a huge place. I don’t remember exactly what the statistic was of the amount of content being added every single minute but it’s astounding… I love your take on this car. I didn’t need to eat lunch today. Hahaha this car is absolutely incredible and what they were able to do with absolutely no money is a testament that nothing really needs to be expensive to be beautiful. At $52,000 back in the day it was affordable unfortunately it was during a time when most Americans couldn’t even put food on the table let alone think about buying a new car… and that is the biggest issue with all of the cars from this era. Frankly Great choices =)

See? That's my favorite thing about you Jay! You do your homework! I see plenty of guys your age here on KZread that review old cars and they know nothing about it. (I'm looking at you Doug D, and many others)! And even worse, they often end up making fun of it, judging it by modern standards, and take it completely out of historical context! Imbeciles! I watched a kid review a 64 New Yorker today and he ridiculed the handling of a 60 year old car that had obviously NOT been restored and appeared not to be well maintained! Of course without restoration or maintenance a 60 year old car is going to handle poorly! Truth is, a 64 Chrysler, in it's prime, was a good handling road car! That seemed to be lost on that D-bag! Wish you could drive more of the cars you review though, to have the full experience!

I used to watch Doug DeMuro all the time. I think I know the other channel that you’re talking about as well.. is it shooting cars??… too many car, KZreadrs want to compare the classic stuff with the modern stuff. I’m not into the modern stuff personally, I think they’re appliances and when I say that I genuinely mean that. Most people my age will compare the experience to a new car. Doug will give it a score based on new cars which I don’t think is right… Maybe one day we could get into driving more cars but I worked at Classic Car dealership one summer and I found out that you could have two cars that are identical and every single way, but they won’t drive the same because everything wears out differently .. so my experience might be different than your experience. I’m truly passionate about this stuff I was born in the wrong time period. And I try to provide as much information as I possibly can because I want to see these cars being used, I have been called the Doug Demuro of classic cars lol. I’m super stoked about this year for the channel and I’m so happy you still dig this channel after years of doing it..

Hell I get 20 mpg on the hwy in my 52 Chevy that has a 350 v8 (373 rear end) and it will go hwy speed cross country wagons got 32 back in the 50s and that’s what this channel is an eye opener people thing old cars get bad gas mileage and some of them do but one can change out the rear end and drastically improve it I’ve read where a guy change the rear on a bullet bird powered by a 390 and he gets 28 on the hwy
