One of the rarest Auburns produced the Murphy-inspired coachwork features long sweeping lines a tall grille and a characteristically short windshield. It is nothing short or gorgeous. 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. Today this rare Auburn shows extremely well with its opulent styling. The paint quality is gorgeous and the exterior brightwork is excellent including chrome knockoff wire wheels. The beltline trim is very elegant. The engine compartment is correctly detailed and unmodified. This car has been freshly serviced and is ready to show or tour. Representing the height of the brands styling it serves as one of the finest cars produced from the Auburn car company. 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
