1967 Mercedes 230 SL

Called the "Golden Pagoda" in honor of its unusual pagoda shaped hardtop, the 230SL was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1963. It truly was the re-invention of the sports car for daily use.The SL combined all of the comforts of a touring car and the performance of a sports car, It was designed with front and rear crumple zones--something new for the day. This particular 230SL has only traveled 62,000 miles under the care of only two long time owners. It is equipped with power steering and brakes a smooth 4 speed manual transmission, soft top and the infamous pagoda hardtop. A fresh repaint in the original red was done to high standards several years ago and is superb. The original blac tex interior is also excellent. The engine runs smooth and quiet and is a joy to drive. Now equipped with radial tires for safety, it is ready for any tour or daily use. Drive it and you will want it in your car barn !! 54,500.

1932 Auburn Custom 12

1932 Auburn Twelve Custom Phaeton The 12 cylinder Auburn, although in production for only 3 years, was one of the great American cars of the era. The George Kublin designed L-head V-12 is a sensational engine. It produces 160 horsepower from 391 cubic inches. In addition, the Dual-ratio rear axle was standard on Custom models and allowed the Auburn to be driven easily at highway speeds or in the lower ratio for city driving. Young Alan Leamy designed this sleek Convertible Phaeton as well as the other Auburn models. It remains one of the most beautiful designs to come out of the ACD group. Not only is it sleek with the top up or down, the windshield folds down like many sports cars. This Auburn has received a Pebble Beach restoration and was shown in 2009. The Salon trim adds elegance to the car. This nut and bolt restoration included all mechanical components. It remains a stunning show car as well as an amazing road car and is effortless to drive, shifts like butter and stops easily.

1941 Cadillsc 62 Convertible Sedan

 

1941 Cadillac Convertible Sedan In my opinion, the 1941 Cadillac is the ultimate tour car for CCCA Events.

It has plenty of power with its 346 cid L-head V-8 engine mated to a smooth 3 speed manual transmission. The independent front suspension with coil springs, plus the rear semi-eliptic leaf springs riding on a 126 inch wheelbase, supply a smooth and stable ride. This particular Cadillac has been in my hometown (St. Louis) since new. It was owned by the Lindburg family for over 50 years. I remember seeing it in their Cadillac Showroom in the 1960’s. I purchased the Cadillac almost 8 years ago and have enjoyed it on many great outings. Notice that radio pre-set radio stations are all St. Louis stations—some still in business. The maroon paint was in fantastic condition –it was applied at Lindburg Cadillac back in the ‘60s. The tan leather is also in great condition. I replaced the black hartz cloth top in 2013 as well as adding new wide white radial tires for safe driving. Come drive it and you will agree. Priced at $87,500.

1932 Packard 902 Coupe Roadster

In 1932, Packard introduced its new lineup, including this ninth series Coupe Roadster. It was longer, lower,faster and more refined then previous models, due in part to the double drop frame. Personally, I think the Series 902 with body style 509 was and is one of the prettiest designs of the era. The new top design allowed it is fold flat to the body, enhancing the flow of the body lines. This Packard was owned by the same family for over four decades. It recently had the complete interior, top, carpets, rumble seat refinished at a very well known restoration shop. The dash was also removed along with the engine and transmission to be totally rebuilt as new. All of the work is documented in pictures. The only thing left to do is the paint, as it is thin and old. Please call with any questions.

1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton

1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton Introduced in the summer of 1929, the new Cord L-29 was a huge hit in the luxury car segment. It paced the Indy 500 that year with its standard 298cid L-head 8 cylinder engine. The L-29 was produced for a short four year run, as it was introduced with the Great Depression just beginning. Only 1,168 Phaetons were built—that was 20 percent of Cords total production. All were equipped with a three speed transmission,innovative front wheel drive and inboard front brakes. That gave the Cord a low stance along with the first X frame, offered on a motorcar. This Cord was in long term display at a private museum and is ACD certified. It is roadworthy and drives nicely. Finished in deep blue with contrasting tan leather it is stunning. Every collection should include an ACD automobile. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

1903 Thomas 18

The car belonged to Henry Janssen of Buffalo, NY for many years. He bought it from a museum in Buffalo when it closed. It was a very original and complete car when Henry bought it. He began to do some restoration on the wood of the body and re-wooded the wheels. Henry enjoyed the Thomas for the rest of his years.  His estate sold the Thomas to a collector in the State of Washington where it had a complete restoration and was finished in 2005. It was shown at a few local Concours shows and driven about 300 miles in Single Cylinder Tours, including completing the Single Cylinder Touring Registry Tour in LaConner, Washington. There are 2 other existing examples of this car known The first year of production for Thomas was 1903. It powered by a single cylinder 8 hp engine with 106.3 cu.inch displacement. This rear entrance tonneau with a 3 speed progressive transmission, leather cone clutch, 28 x 3 wheels, geared water pump, and chain drive is as new. When restored, every part was fitted with new bearings , polished and balanced the crank and flywheel, rebushed portions of the transmission, rebuilt the rear end, new tires, new black leather upholstery, etc. The brass lamps were done by Rick Britten and the single self generating head light is correct for the car and the only one known to exist. The Thomas starts on the first or second pull, runs and drives very nicely and is very reliable. Eligible for the London Brighton Tour for sure !!!
