Description

Two days with a wide variety of fun & excitement! Featuring the 50 year collection of Daryl Hemken, with a few other special cars included. Over 60 great cars from the 30’s - 60’s. Most are Post War. Many convertibles. Thousands of parts, automobilia, porcelain signs, pressed steel toys, bicycles, pedal cars, model cars and more! Join the fun and help pass on the legacy of his collection. Others can love these automotive marques like he did. Ann Hemken, Daryl’s wife of 50 years, had spent her career as a educator, but was also actively involved in the museum. So the museum board thought it appropriate for McPherson College, in McPherson, KS, to be a benefactor from the proceeds of the museum auction. McPherson is the only college in the nation with a 4-year degree in auto restoration. McPherson interns, Jimmy Pawlak and Spencer Ice, spent weeks on-site preparing many of the cars for this auction.

1914 Ford Model T Roadster. This is the very first car

Lot # 140 (Sale Order: 140 of 319)      

1914 Ford Model T Roadster. This is the very first car Daryl Hemken purchased in 1957 to begin his collection of vehicles. The car has less than 1,000 miles as the origin...moreal owner bought two of the 1914 models because it was the last year that Ford would include the cherry wood dashboard/cowl moving to a formed metal cowl in 1915. It was also the first year of Ford's "any color so long as it is black&" policy. The original owner rarely drove this car but stored it in his barn where he would sit and read his newspaper. The roof of the barn leaked which is why the seats and top are damaged. Otherwise, it runs well, according to Steve Hemken, Daryl's son and current caretaker of the collection. The car has the "turtle deck" trunk and there is a tank on the running board that contained acetylene for the headlamps. The car has seen limited use since it began the Hemken Collection in 1960 and is now running and drivable. It could be roadworthy with some easy interior repairs making it ready to cruise for ice cream or serve as a parade vehicle. It's likely you won't find another with this limited mileage.

1929 Ford Model A Roadster. In February 1929 Ford Motor

Lot # 141 (Sale Order: 141 of 319)      

1929 Ford Model A Roadster. In February 1929 Ford Motor Company had sold one million Model A's. Five months later the company had sold two million. It may have seemed lik...moree everybody had a Model A and this example was purchased by Daryl Hemken because he thought it was a great way to show how people during both the Depression and World War II had to 'make do' and the Model A could handle any task you could throw its direction. This Model A roadster was purchased during the 1960s in rough condition in Alexandria, Virginia. The former owner was a painter by trade, welding brackets on the fenders of the A to hold his ladders, using a screen door hook to keep the door closed, a chain to raise the trunk and tar to seal the windshield. It remains just as he found it.

The six-cylinder 164 was Volvo's answer to the Mercedes-Benz 250 and Jaguar's XJ6. This 1974 164 can use some cosmetic restoration, but the 3-litre over-head valve B30 engine does run.

1984 Volvo 240DL. With the newest Volvo 240 now over 25

Lot # 143 (Sale Order: 143 of 319)      

1984 Volvo 240DL. With the newest Volvo 240 now over 25 years old, and the earliest incarnations of the 200 series heading into their 40s, examples of these iconic cars a...morere finally starting to show up on the collector car market. Easy to work on and with reliable & simple mechanicals, the 200 family is lining up alongside similarly sized Mercedes-Benz models of the same era as an inexpensive introduction to classic European ownership. This DL (for deluxe) example needs restoration but has a running Volkswagen-designed D24 diesel engine under the hood and drives well. These aren't luxurious cars, but they are reliable, as you expect from a Scandinavian built vehicle. The 240s were built for many years simply because so many people liked them.

1942 Packard 110 Convertible. This Packard was brought

Lot # 144 (Sale Order: 144 of 319)      

1942 Packard 110 Convertible. This Packard was brought home from Davenport, Iowa in 1964 during a cold spell that hit -30 degrees by the time it was finally dragged onto ...morethe Hemken property in Williams, Iowa using Daryl's 1958 Mercedes-Benz which suffered from some electrical problems. Nonetheless the Packard made it into the collection and continues to have original paint, interior, and engine. There is minimal rust on this rare convertible that was part of very minimal Packard production in 1942 as automobile production was halted in February that year due to manufacturing changeover for World War II. There are no records of how many total vehicles Packard actually built that year including the small number of convertibles. Additional parts for this car include a complete 100 engine, new old stock front fenders and steering wheel, sells seperately. It does need a radio, but the dash plastics are very nice and the car is ready for restoration. McPherson College interns Spencer Ice & Jimmy Pawlak helped excavate this Packard from the barn!

Lot # 145 (Sale Order: 145 of 319)      

1954 Packard Convertible. This convertible was purchased in July 1968 from Al Berger in Lohrville, Iowa and it still runs and drives, but does need brakes at the time of ...morethe auction. This was the final year for the Packard Series 5479 convertible as the manufacturer struggled with sales and merged with Studebaker on October 1, 1954, with headquarters in Detroit. This car is one of just 863 built that year. The company built a new engine plant in Utica, New York to manufacture a new 359ci straight eight engine which powers this convertible but just a few short months later introduced a brand-new V-8 engine which didn't make it into the '54 lineup.

1947 Hudson Big Boy Pickup. Though it appears to be

Lot # 147 (Sale Order: 147 of 319)      

1947 Hudson Big Boy Pickup. Though it appears to be rusty, this rare 1947 Hudson pickup doesn't have a rust hole anywhere on the body or box and is ready for a complete restoration or the base for a radical custom truck. Purchased in Fort Dodge, Iowa in 1975, this pickup, dubbed the Big Boy by Hudson, belonged to Luther's Sewing Center. The truck features the largest pickup box of the time at 48 cubic feet of cargo space. And this one still has its original wood floor in place. Hudson built pickup trucks for many years, usually for other manufacturers or under names not associated with Hudson. After World War II the company had a large pickup in its truck offerings and decided to bring it back out as a Hudson ¾ ton Big Boy. This pickup shares its front end with the passenger Hudson and though it only lasted two model years (1946-47), the company sold about 6,000 of the trucks which was a respectable number in the mid-1940s. Even though it's not running, it's rare to see one of these Hudson trucks completely intact....more

1948 Ford convertible. As most Ford aficionados know,

Lot # 148 (Sale Order: 148 of 319)      

1948 Ford convertible. As most Ford aficionados know, the 1948 Ford was the last year of the post-war facelifting the company did of its 1942 models to get it back on tra...moreck with an all-new design that came in 1949. The '48 looked much like the '47 and even the '46, but what really set this year's convertible model apart from the rest of the model line was it was only available with Ford's famed flathead V-8. The 239ci flattie produced 100 horsepower, was super reliable with two leak-proof water pumps, four-ring aluminum pistons and an optional cartridge-type oil filter. The flathead engine is, and always will be, highly prized by purists, racers and hot rodders alike. So this DeLuxe convertible, purchased by Daryl Hemken in 1971 in Boone, Iowa fits the bill for being special. Though it isn't a running example, all the pieces are present and it's ready, whatever direction you want to take it.

Lot # 149 (Sale Order: 149 of 319)      

1948 DeSoto Custom Convertible. In December 1974 Daryl Hemken discovered and purchased this 1948 Desoto Custom convertible in Cleveland, Ohio. Driving it back home he had...more to stop often because the car had a leaky gas tank. He found he could only get the tank to hold five gallons at a time, so stops were frequent and the journey was slow. DeSoto sold 8,100 convertibles in 1948 and this one still sports its original 237ci L-head straight six engine with DeSoto's innovative Fluid Drive system. That system, introduced by DeSoto in 1939, allows the car to be held stationary in any gear without disengaging the clutch for the three-speed manual transmission. This example isn't currently running, but is complete, just as Daryl Hemken found it back in 1974.

1937 Nash Ambassador. While Daryl Hemken was traveling

Lot # 150 (Sale Order: 150 of 319)      

1937 Nash Ambassador. While Daryl Hemken was traveling on a national auto tour in 1979, he came across this 1937 Nash Ambassador in Minnesota. He wasted no time when he g...moreot home. He quickly returned to the Nash location and brought it back to his collection. This is a running, driving vehicle though brakes do need replacement. It has a 322ci twin-ignition overhead valve straight 8 engine, hydraulic brakes, and overdrive, which was very unusual in 1937. Nash began using the Ambassador name for its most luxurious models in 1927 and competed with the likes of Packard, Lincoln, and Duesenberg in the grand luxury category. In 1937 the Sinclair Oil Company sponsored a baseball contest with Babe Ruth where a 1937 Nash Ambassador Eight sedan was given away every week.
