The car's Owner is Mark Spandikow. Mark’s had this car since 2018. He shares his read that a supercharged Auburn would be a good investment so he found one in pieces. He restored it and this one looks showroom new.
ENJOY!

    A beauty of an automobile. Looking over the whole car, just shows you what could be engineered and manufactured in excellence in 1936. Absolutely amazing to me. The self starter mechanism when the engine stalls .... I've never heard of such. This guy did an unheard of job restoring this car too. It looks showroom new. I don't want to think of the job it was finding needed parts.

    Superb restoration of this classic car, my favorite brand. I like the earlier cars with the pin-striping from 29 but this is a better car technologically and driveable. The script like much of the car has Art Deco styling. The engine is a monster - what a job he did on the engine compartment. The instrument panel is just art. The only item on my bucket list I don't have checked off. Congrats to the master auto archaeologist owner and thanks for the guided tour Lou !

    I think you had already presented this model in a previous video. All in all, this 1936 Auburn 852 Supercharged with that combination of dark blue and light brown roof will delight everyone who sees it pass by! You're right, seen from the front it appears to be in the shape of a large blue heart; along with its beautiful and large grille and chrome headlights (special mention for the beautiful ornament in the shape of a winged woman on top of the hood). Very interesting about the exterior folding seat where the trunk would go; although, yes, it has little legroom. A nice interior and upholstery; from its suicide-type doors, to its chrome instrument panel in "art deco" style (I don't know, but the feathers on those dials remind me a little of those of certain instruments on steam trains, hehe). Lastly, I loved the relaxing walk through those places and streets; like the little tunnel under the train tracks! Congratulations to Mr. Spandicow, for owning, and assembling, this classic! And to you, Lou, for the great shots you always get; like the last one, where you made a final close-up of the rear guide lit up with the Aurburn logo!

    This is a classic car with an emphasis on “class”. The 1930s was a golden age for American automotive manufactures which is epitomize in this design. The Auburn emblem noted on this video as best as I can tell, first appeared with the Auburn Beauty-SIX in 1919. The lettering including the stylized “U” letter were mostly likely influenced by the Arts and Crafts fonts of the early 20th Century. 5:18
