The Auburn 12 was one of the most powerful engines offered in 1933 for a road-going car and as such set several speed records that stood for several years.
Delivered new to Lee Sturla of Sacramento, CA, it was sold to Wayne Hersted of Tacoma, WA, next.
After that, it passed to the custodianship of Bob Larrabee, a wealthy collector who, in the 1980s, commissioned a no-expense-spared restoration of the car.
It was judged in 1984 and again in 1992 by the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club to be a Category One example with its original Lycoming V12, chassis number 1156 and convertible phaeton sedan bodywork built by Limousine Body Company.
Certificates accompany the car.
