1932 Marmon 8-125 Convertible Coupe



1932 Marmon 8-125 Convertible Coupe. Reportedly one of two known to exist. The Marmon is a Full Classic and would be a excellent tour car as previously proven. Recently invited and shown at the 2011 Indianapolis 500 (100th Anniversary) of The Celebration of Automobiles.
The Marmon has been toured extensively by the previous owner. The paint has imperfections as seen in the photos. The tan canvas top is like new and fits like a glove. The leather upholstery is very nice and soft-- with the door panels showing some wear. The Marmon runs and drives excellent and starts easily every time. This is a very nice driving car that steers with ease. It is even equipped with turn signals and seat belts !!

Brass Era Ford Model-T Speedster




For those first owners who wanted excitement and sporting fun, a Model T Ford was an easy conversion to a Speedster, much as the case with many cars of the period. Driving a Model T is always an experience, but the added wind-in-the-face Speedster brings more smiles per mile than many faster, but also more complicated classics.


This Ford Model T Speedster presented here is an older restoration of a great example of a brass Ford speedster. The car runs and drives well and would give many more years of enjoyment and entertainment to its new owner. The car presents itself very well.

The car is equipped with matching E&J Headlights, E&J Cowl Lights and a E&J Taillight. The speedster is equipped with a Starter and updated with a Distributor. This car is titled as a 1927 Ford but has been restored and assembled using original and later Ford Approved Model-T parts.

1948 Jaguar Mark IV Drophead Coupe



125 hp, 3,485 cc OHV inline six-cylinder engine, dual SU side-draft carburetors, Moss four-speed manual gearbox, solid front axle and live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs front and rear, and Girling four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 120"

• Concours-quality restoration completed in 2000
• One of 376 3.5-liter export-market Mark IVs built
• The first postwar Jaguar model

Jaguar met the immediate postwar market in 1945 with its trusty 1.5-, 2.5- and 3.5-liter sedans dating back to 1935. Britain’s postwar “export or die” ethos spurred a concentrated effort to cultivate the crucial American market, and only six-cylinder models were officially sent to America. These early postwar cars, retrospectively known as the “Mark IV,” quickly gained a following. The elegant Three-Position Drophead Coupe variant remains a favorite. Of the 4,420 3.5-liter Mark IVs produced in total by Jaguar, only 560 were Drophead Coupes. Just 376 3.5-liter Mark IVs were built for export, rendering this very fine example rare indeed.

According to the car’s accompanying Heritage Certificate, this Jaguar was originally sold through the Hoffman, California Jaguar dealership in 1948. It was finished in black paintwork with beige leather and a sand three-position top. Prior to acquisition by the current owner in 2002, it was given a Body-off-frame restoration, with all mechanicals restored and overhauled, new wooden body framing installed, new Connolly leather upholstery fitted. The electrical wiring was also addressed.

In its current ownership, the car has been properly and regularly maintained and exercised and remains in virtual concours-quality condition. It represents English motoring elegance at its best, and with precious few ever produced, especially in the 3.5-liter form, it is truly a rare find.
