1959 Ford Meteor Country Sedan Family Wagon

Lot # 128 (Sale Order: 26 of 174)      

From 1949-1961, Meteor was an auto marque, offered by Ford of Canada, to be sold by Lincoln Mercury dealerships. These Meteor vehicles were assembled from both Ford and Lincoln parts and shared several body designs throughout the years. This very original 1959 Meteor 9-passenger Country Sedan Wagon is based on its Ford twin, and has a very interesting history. As documented, this car was donated to the Harbor Island Yacht Club, in Canada, by Mr. Benson Ford (grandson of Henry Ford) in 1959. The resort used the wagon to shuttle the Ford family to and from the local airport. This vintage vehicle had an exterior restoration in approx. 1989 and shows very well. With that, the wagon shows some age here and there. While the stainless trim is solid, the bumpers could use some new chrome. The interior is highly original, yet the drivers seat basket weave is unraveling a little. Just some little things that come along with being 65-years old. On the flip-side, the odometer shows 30,833 and is believed to be correct due to the car's original purpose and that it has rested for many years. The undercarriage is solid, the engine runs well, and the car drives great. This 1959 Meteor Country Sedan Wagon is a driver quality car, not a show car. As it stands, it's a great investment. If somebody wants to make it an award winner, this vehicle will make a wonderful foundation for a restoration project.

1954 Kaiser Manhattan

Lot # 131 (Sale Order: 29 of 174)      

This is a bad news good news kind of story... Bad news: In the mid-fifties, Kaiser Automobiles was struggling, and sales were down. In 1953, about 3,500 Kaiser Manhattans were leftover at the end of the model year. These cars were returned to the factory to be face-lifted into 1954s with new front fenders, hoods, taillights, and fresh paintwork. These models were then sold as entry level, low priced 1954 Specials, which were a great deal for buyers since they were trimmed as high-end Manhattans. As would be expected, the top-of-the-line Manhattan saw some of its sales stolen by these bargain-buy Specials. At the same time, Kaiser also suffered from a lack of funding to complete their 288cid (4.7L) V8 engine and found GM unwilling to sell them the Oldsmobile Rocket 303cid (5.0L) V8 after, what seemed to be, some promising negotiations. Kaiser then turned to McCulloch (renamed Paxton in 1956) for their VS-57 supercharger to increase the horsepower of the venerable 226cid (3.7L) L-head six-cylinder motor that was standard in the 1954 Manhattan. The normally aspirated 226ci motor produced 118bhp but when equipped with a supercharger would gain 19%, delivering 140bhp. After all the turmoil, only 1,200 Manhattans were sold in the 1954 model year. Good news: This clean and rare 1954 Kaiser Manhattan is a very original survivor of those struggling times. This car spent time in Kansas before being relocated to Colorado about four years ago. There, the vehicle was lightly used for some commuting and occasional car shows. This car runs and drives well and has a GM Hydramatic transmission mated to its McCulloch supercharged engine. With the entire brake system having been recently serviced, it also stops well. As a bonus for all those who fear wiring issues, all, but one, of the electrical components work including all the interior lights and the radio. Unfortunately, the clock is only correct twice a day. Overall, this 1954 Kaiser Manhattan is a solid car for a new admirer or Kaiser collector. Enjoy driving it as-is to the local car shows or perform an easy restoration to make it an award winner. With less than 1200 left for the road, it's sure to get attention.

NO RESERVE - 1929 Ford Model A Tudor

Lot # 133 (Sale Order: 31 of 174)      

The Ford Model A replaced the venerable Model T in late 1927. When production ended in March, 1932, more than 4.8 million Model A's had been built in a variety of body styles. Production in 1928 and 1929, each, topped over 1.5 million vehicles. The only thing that slowed Model A production was the Great Depression. Since the Model A was so numerous, it's easy to see why it's considered one of the easiest cars to own. The aftermarket for these vehicles includes everything from parts to whole bodies. Leading the way is the Model A Tudor sedan. Equipped with a 200cid, inline 4-cylinder engine producing 40hp, the Model A doubled the power output of the Model T. A sliding-gear, 3-spd transmission was mated to the engine and drove a three-quarter floating rear axle. Simply put, the Model A was a great improvement without a huge cost increase. This two-family 1929 Ford Model A came out of an Oregon estate of the third owner of the vehicle (his father handed it down to him). After WWII, the father had originally purchased another Model A and when he arrived to pick that one up, the seller told him this one came with it for spares. Apparently, the body had been cut-off at the back seat, and a small truck bed installed. Since it still ran, the family used it on the farm, like so many others have done. As time went on, the car fell into disrepair and was stored in the barn. In the early '60's, a son came across a complete body at a swap meet for $15, and he put the body in his garage along with some spare parts for future use. Around 1969, the dad was getting on in years but wanted a Model A project to keep himself busy. Putting two and two together, the son offered the body, to put on the old chassis in the barn, and a project was born. Dad and sons performed a complete restoration of this car before dad passed in 1974. The car was used by the family farm for a while and then stored back in the barn. Today, five-decades later, this 1929 Ford Model A Tudor is still in great condition. The paint shows well but does have chips and scars associated with its age. The patina is forming and adds to the character of the car. The interior and upholstery are very nice and ready for passengers. The engine turns over, but our techs have not had time to get it running properly yet. The transmission engages when rolled and we have confidence it will work correctly with a running engine.

1929 Chrysler Series 75 Dual Cowl Phaeton

Lot # 134 (Sale Order: 32 of 174)      

This magnificent Chrysler has only grown more beautiful in the 96 years following its manufacture. The Dual Cowl Phaeton, a rare and desirable design, has always been a f...moreavorite among collectors of the marque and the era. What today’s observer might not realize at first is that along with the pleasing design and sumptuous luxury came lasting technological advancement and hard-nosed engineering quality. The Series 75 Chryslers featured an 80-horsepower, 248-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine, as advanced as any on offer across the industry. And they had grit aplenty: A Series 75 roadster rode the very same engine to sixth place overall at the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1929. This example has proved its staying power in even more impressive fashion – by lasting nearly a century, looking as good now as it did coming out of the Chrysler factory on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. Indeed, it is one of only a dozen known survivors of the 248-car dual-cowl phaeton 1929 production run. This car has been completely restored, dressed in pleasing mint green and dark green two-tone livery. It’s lavishly equipped with dual-mounted spare wheels adorned with sideview mirrors, dual cowl-mounted lights, wire wheels, diamond step plates, snap-on side curtains, and a trunk rack fitted with a beautiful artificial alligator-skin trunk. Recent improvements include chrome replating and a carburetor rebuild.

1957 Mercedes Benz 220S

Lot # 135 (Sale Order: 33 of 174)      

Mercedes Benz introduced the 220S Coupe in October of 1956, and produced just over 3400 coupes and convertibles (combined) through October, 1959.

This car comes out of the collection of Mercedes-Benz Master Mechanic, Siegfried Linke, and was the personal vehicle of Darlene Linke until her passing several years ago.

1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle

Lot # 136 (Sale Order: 34 of 174)      

Hello. My name is Dolly, and I am a 1974 Superbeetle. I was purchased and rebuilt by Ralph Hogan of Pleasant Harbor WA. What impressed Ralph the most about me was that my body had no rust, no Bondo and no patches. I was clean and disease free. He took me apart and piece, painting each piece with care. My glass was all good so he kept that. He reupholstered my seats and they are padded and comfortable. The bones are original. Ralph put a 1920 cc Empi engine to replace my former engine. The transmission is the regular 4 speed VW transmission and clutch. The tires are new. Carbs are new. Alternator is new. There isn’t even 1000 miles on the new engine or other parts. The heating system is original. The steering is not power steering which makes it a bit difficult if you don’t have the muscle power to do it. There are added gauges and a modern thumb drive for music, phone charger and nice speakers sit in the back well. Under the front hood has been remade with chrome and great care to match the outside of the car. He put LED lights all around the front and the back to be well seen. It was an act of love for him and he took great care with detail. My new owner Cathy Som-Mueller has driven me to car shows and won a trophy at the Father’s Day Car Show in Silverdale Washington. She had pictures but the actual trophy has vanished. I need to be loved on, tinkered with, as with any VW, but will reward you with a great fun ride that will grab the attention of everyone who sees me. I am looking for a new home with someone who can appreciate my worth and enjoy driving me around.

NO RESERVE - 1922 Ford Model T Truck

Lot # 137 (Sale Order: 35 of 174)      

With over 14 MILLION produced between 1908 and 1927, almost everyone has seen, or knows a little about, the venerable Ford Model T. Many might know them by the nickname Tin Lizzie. Whatever the knowledge, this is the car that was built by Henry Ford for the great multitude. Henry's goal was for every man to be able to take the family out into God's great open spaces in a vehicle that was affordable, simple, and reliable. Everyone agrees Ford met his goal. This Ford Model T is now more than 100 years old and originally started life as a Tourer. As can be seen, it has been modified into a pickup with many upgrades of the period. These modifications include Hassler front suspension shocks, a Ruckstell two-speed rear-end, and Rocky Mountain brakes at the rear wheels. These modifications were common aftermarket treatments to make the cars easier to drive and stop. Although Henry disapproved of most of the aftermarket components, he liked the Ruckstell rear-end and actually approved its inclusion in the Ford parts catalog. More up-dated modifications include a 12-volt electrical system (with a modern alternator) and a canvas covering over the cab. This 1922 Model T came from an estate near Burns, Oregon. This second owner originally purchased the Tourer in 1946 from another local estate. The conversion to a truck was initiated by an accident. The story goes the car hit a deep pothole that broke the steering box off the wood firewall. This sent the vehicle into a roll that threw the driver from harm, but crushed the car down to engine height. Since the chassis was still good, a decision was made to rebuild it with various components from around the farm. First, the body was cut-off behind the front passenger seat. An old 1926 truck front section (cowling/windshield/engine cover) was then fused to the body. A bed was fabricated to fill the rear section, and a top was created using the truck roof frame. If the word kludged comes to mind, it probably fits here. But this was not uncommon then with the abundance of parts available, and the ingenuity of a generation that truly believed in the adage; Necessity is the Mother of invention. But they didn't stop there... The truck needed to carry loads into town and the old Ford two-speed transmission had known issues with loads and hills. The Ruckstell rear-end was installed to take care of getting those loads to their destination. But heavier loads brought another known issue with the weakness of the Model T’s stopping power. Hence, the Rocky Mountain brakes were added to bring safety and peace of mind while making deliveries. This was also the time the steel wire-wheels were adopted from the 1926 truck parts. With all these modifications, the truck was now capable of towing a small trailer and so a trailer hitch was added. It all worked together very well and was used by the family farm for years. Now, this 1922 Ford Model T Touruck is available for a new owner to be creative with or add to their collection.

Always mechanically fine, the marque’s catal...moreogue continued, always positive in power and in action, this car may also be singled out for its beauty, its convenience or its comfort. One hundred and two years later, that’s still true. Cosmopolitan Motors is pleased to present a fine example of Buick’s Model 23-Six-45, featuring its original 242-cubic-inch straight six engine, which still provides plenty of power and runs very well. 1923 was a banner year for Buick. The cornerstone marque of General Motors offered Series 23 models in both four- and six-cylinder variants, with wheelbases from 109 to 124 inches, and prices from $865 to $2,200. They proved so popular that in 1923 Buick would turn out some 210,000 cars, including the one millionth Buick, completed March 21 of the year. Of Buick’s impressive ’23 array of 15 open and closed body styles, the six-cylinder five-passenger touring car was the most popular. This example is in very good condition, having been stored inside by its longtime owner and primarily driven at local shows and parades. The interior has two reupholstered, black leather bench seats, a beautiful wooden steering wheel, and black carpeting. The canvas top is in excellent condition and shows well. The exterior maroon and black catches – and pleases – the eye, particularly the beautiful, crowned fenders, a new feature in 1923. This elegant touring car has been loved by a large family, for many, many years, the current owner says. When her father, Dan was a young man, he developed a love for cars – and specifically, 1920s-vintage Buicks. He admired the valve-in-head design that became an early Buick trademark, producing power, endurance, long life and economy, as Buick proudly asserted. Being mechanically inclined, he started collecting parts and pieces of these cars with the intent of building his own. He would collect parts wherever he could find them. One day, he was out for a drive in Eastern Washington, passing wheatfields and farmhouses, when he spied some parts in a field that looked interesting. He pulled over to check them out. As he was looking around, the owner of the field came out to see what was up. They got to talking and Dan told him what he was looking for and what his plans were. The farmer told Dan he had something to show him. They made their way to a barn, which held this beautiful 1923 Buick in excellent condition. The car had belonged to the farmer’s father, who had died several years before. A sale ensued. Since that day, Dan would always bring the Buick Model 23-Six-45 out for family gatherings and weddings. He entered it in many parades and car shows (where it always won first prize) and was always happy to bring it out for show and tell, to anyone who wanted to see it. He was pleased to show off the large collection of trophies and ribbons he had collected. He was frequently known to drive it a couple miles to town to get the mail and just enjoy the feeling and history it provided. Dan passed away in 2011 at which time, his daughter Teresa bought the Buick from his estate, and to this day, she has maintained possession of it. Now, she has decided to let go of her father’s dream car. It has come time to pass the car along to allow someone else to love this beautiful vehicle and take it out for show and tell, Teresa says. I hope whoever gets the pleasure of owning this car next knows exactly what a treasure they have, and love and appreciate it as much as my family has. The voice of a Buick copy writer from 1923 echoes that sentiment through the mists of time: Riding in this Touring Car, you will be conscious of a new sense of ease. This sale offers an opportunity for you to experience the wonderful ease that Dan felt, driving to town, and to become the next steward of this magnificent Touring Car.

1963 Facel Vega Facel II

Lot # 140 (Sale Order: 38 of 174)      

Facel Vega started designing the Facel II in 1959 and introduced the production version at the 1961 Paris Motor Show. The production lifespan lasted from 1962 to 1964, wi...moreth approximately 180 examples of the Facel II built (26 with right hand drive). The Facel II was a GT (grand tourer) that was advertised by the company as 'Le Coupé 4-places le plus rapide du Monde' ('The Fastest 4-seater Coupé in the World'). Amazingly, with a 'dry' weight of two tons (4,145 lb), the potent 6.3-liter (383ci) Chrysler engines allowed for top speeds of over 135 mph, and with the four-speed gearbox, it could exceed 150 mph. In the manual transmission configuration, it could out-accelerate two-seat GTs such as the Aston Martin DB4, Ferrari 250 GT and 'gull-wing' Mercedes-Benz 300SL, to 60 mph and all except the Ferrari to 100 mph. This 1963 Facel II is a very nice example and shows very well. The design itself captures immediate attention but the smooth and polished red exterior paintwork captures it that much quicker. While the chrome is showing some age, all the metal trim is solid. The interior leather is beautiful, and the faux wood dash paint scheme is stunning and can fool the best. The engine and drivetrain operate well together, and this car needs very little to be back on the road. With only about 180 Facel IIs ever built, this is the perfect opportunity to snag a great deal on one of the most collectible, beautiful, and rare sports cars of all time.

1918 Buick E-35 Tourer

Lot # 141 (Sale Order: 39 of 174)      

Buick was the initial auto manufacturer brought in to form the new General Motors group in 1908. Their 4-cyl., valve-in-head engine design was a great success and continu...moreed through 1915 when they introduced a 6-cyl. version. For 1918, they returned to a 170ci, 4-cyl. engine for the E series model line in order to compete in the entry level market. This 1918 Buick E-35 Tourer is a fine example of Buick design and longevity. The vehicle retains its great state through years of obvious meticulous care and maintenance. The body is in great condition with solid wood and paint that retains its luster. The seats, for being over 100 years old, are in great appearance. The rear seat is original, whole, and shows very well. Amazingly, our favorite upholstery guy, John Parkhurst, had held on to some century-old leather and restored the front seat cover, in splendid fashion, to closely match the rear. While he was at it, the door panels also received treatment to the remaining century-old leather material. All of it makes for a beautiful, upgraded interior. Overhead, the replacement canvas top is in fantastic condition also. Under the hood, the 170ci engine starts and runs and pushes power through a well-functioning transmission. The vehicle drives and steers well and the rear external drum brakes perform as designed. Overall, this 1918 Buick E-35 Tourer is a spry 106-year-old looking for a nice family to take good care of her and show her off in a parade or little town drives.

1981 Triumph TR7 Convertible

Lot # 142 (Sale Order: 40 of 174)      

This 1981 TR7 has had the benefit of a motor rebuild less than 10,000 miles ago at Brooklands British Car in Tacoma and was since serviced at British Car Service in Tucson, where it lived happily for a year. It has fresh tires and recent brake service and runs beautifully. The 1981 TR7s have a much better track record than the earlier examples of the model, with upgrades in handling and braking. For the British sports-car enthusiast, this fun and economical driver-quality car checks all the boxes. The 5-speed manual’s gearing means the car performs well at highway speeds and it’s a blast to drive on more demanding roads. Tons of fun for the money.

1960 AC Aceca

Lot # 143 (Sale Order: 41 of 174)      

As a hardtop version of the AC Ace, the fastback-styled Aceca Coupe debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954. The Aceca's hatchback construction includes a hand-formed aluminum body surrounding a tubular steel framework. While the tubular chassis was more substantially built than the Ace's, the result was a lightweight, well-engineered, and extremely attractive GT car in the best AC tradition. The combination of a fine-handling chassis and a high power-to-weight ratio helped the Ace version to numerous successes in production sports car racing with, arguably, its finest achievement being the 1st-in-class (7th overall) finish at Le Mans in 1959. This rare 1960 AC Aceca Coupe is an exciting find recently out of 50-year ownership and has an extensive history file included. It was originally a white car but is currently blue with a tan interior. The alloy 6-cylinder AC engine is of correct vintage but is a non-matching numbers unit. When the previous owner bought the car in 1970, its original engine had already been replaced with a Ford 260ci V8. After a few years, he decided to source a proper AC 6-cylinder, and this is the engine that's currently in the car (CL 7 51 2315 WT). As an active member of the AC Owners Club, he maintained correspondence about the car throughout the years, and much of that is included also. The car has been resting for several decades and is now ready for an easy restoration. It comes complete, solid, straight, and intact.

1931 Cadillac 355A Convertible Coupe

Lot # 144 (Sale Order: 42 of 174)      

A CCCA Full Classic. Formerly of the Don and Lynette Short Collection. Charming paint with natural wood spoke artillery wheels. A fun pre-war classic for driving enjoyment. In the early years of the Great Depression, Cadillac maintained its reputation of producing exquisite luxury automobiles encapsulated by their iconic slogan, "The Standard of the World." The new decade saw Cadillac's introduction of the all-new V-16, followed by the V-12 and improved V-8 chassis, offering a wide selection of performance, body styles, and price points for discerning buyers amidst economic turmoil. For 1931, the Series 355A V-8 chassis received a significant styling update. The new design embraced an elongated, lowered silhouette sitting on an impressive 134-inch chassis. Notably, the revisions also included an updated hood with five side vents in addition to one on the cowl, accentuating the hood length and the overall aesthetic of the car. Up front, a radiator stone guard sat behind a new single-bar bumper, flanked by dual horns and updated, slightly smaller headlights, all contributing to the modernized and elegant aesthetic of the vehicle. An impressive array of body styles was offered on the Series 355A V-8 chassis. General Motors' coachbuilding subsidiaries, Fisher and Fleetwood together offered no less than twelve individual styles to suit all buyers' needs and budgets. This example, Fleetwood's highly sought-after style #4535 2/4-Passenger Convertible Coupe, originally priced at $2,945, offers both style and practicality, providing the luxury of driving in all weather conditions, in closed comfort or fully open. The body follows the same lines as Cadillacs V-12 and V-16 offerings, a testament to its design and timeless appeal. Mechanically, the car now featured covered rear springs mounted below the frame rails for a cleaner look. The radiator being repositioned lower within the chassis and the introduction of a condenser tank improved cooling efficiency. Cadillac's "HC" high-compression V-8 engine was further refined, now featuring a new intake silencer and five-point engine mounts for improved ride quality and performance while retaining the 353-cubic-inch displacement and 95-horsepower output. Power was delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed synchromesh transmission offered with options for various rear axle ratios. Once part of the Don and Lynette Short Collection, this car has received drivability and reliability improvements, having been fitted with a Cadillac carburetor switched to a downdraft-type, retaining the ability to revert to its original configuration for show purposes. Finished in cream with black fenders, chassis and moulding, the car's paint scheme is complemented by a tan convertible roof featuring polished landau bars. It rides on natural wood spoke artillery wheels with whitewall tires and a rear-mounted spare tire further enhances the car's elongated silhouette. Inside, rich red leather upholstery contrasts the exterior and extends to the rumble seat. The dashboard features Cadillac's revised oval instrument cluster, accented with wood-trim and gauges finished in black within. Interior durability was also improved with the introduction of metal floorboards. Revered for their design and driving excellence, Cadillac's Series 355A V-8 Convertible Coupes remain sought-after by classic car enthusiasts and collectors. This example represents an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history encapsulating an era when luxury, style and performance converged to offer the pinnacle of transportation and maintain Cadillac's reputation as "The Standard of the World."

1953 Nash-Healey Roadster

Lot # 145 (Sale Order: 43 of 174)      

After a chance meeting in 1949 between Donald Healey (British engineer and race car driver) and George Mason (president of Nash-Kelvinator) onboard the RMS Queen Elizabeth, the Nash-Healey Roadster joint venture was born and would go on to produce the first post-war sports car from a major American automaker, beating the Corvette by two years. The first production model of the Nash-Healey Series 25 Roadster was debuted at the 1951 Chicago Auto Show. Production ran from 1951 to 1954 with a total of 506 vehicles built. In 1952, the body was redesigned by Battista Farina and production logistics were further complicated. Nash powertrain components were shipped from North America to England to be assembled into Healey chassis'. The rolling stock was then shipped to Pinin Farina in Italy to have the body mounted and final assembly completed. The vehicles were then exported back to Nash dealerships in America. By 1953, this production method resulted in a sticker price that was almost double that of Chevrolet's newly introduced Corvette. None the less, with Nash-Healey having great racing success at Le Mans, 1953 saw a new coupe introduced, and the Dual Jetfire engine became standard for production models. This engine's 252cid produced 140hp using twin Carter carburetors. This year also saw Nash Motors sponsoring golf tournaments and Sam Snead and his roadster were shown on the cover of Nash News. Celebrity use and product placement continued with Roadsters showing up in the Adventures of Superman, with George Reeves, as well as the movie, Sabrina with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. This 1953 Nash-Healey Roadster rolls on chassis number 2363 and is one of approximately 160 examples bodied by Pinin Farina that year. The body is finished in white over a red interior with a beige convertible top and side curtains. The car retains its numbers-matching engine block which is planned to be rebuilt as of this writing. Ranking as an impressive and historically noteworthy combination of British, Italian, and American flair, this exceedingly rare Nash-Healey creates an intriguing opportunity for its next loving caretaker. As an early and significant pioneer of trans-Atlantic cooperation, this 1953 Roadster is one of approximately 160 Nash-Healey's to feature Pinin Farina coachwork. Accompanied by its numbers-matching engine block, it is an ideal candidate for vintage racing, exhibition, or a combination of both.

1948 Kaiser Custom Sedan

Lot # 147 (Sale Order: 45 of 174)      

If you’re looking for an exceedingly rare car with impressive ownership history and provenance, you just found it. In 1948, Edgar Kaiser, son of Henry Kaiser, was general manager of the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, and this sedan was custom-built for him at the Willow Run plant in Ypsilanti. Only about a tenth of the Kaisers made for the model year carried the luxurious Custom trim, which included leather upholstery as a standard feature. But this car, built for the boss, had every luxury option plus many one-off options which made it truly one of a kind. Factory equipment included rare dual fog lights, signal lights, back-up lights, radio with floor station selection control, heater, vacuum-operated windshield washer, leather upholstery matching the body color and carpeted floor, and door panels with leather inserts. Edgar Kaiser sold his Custom Sedan in 1953, and for the next 40 years it remained in a single family’s hands. And the next owner kept it 15 more years before donating it to the Automotive Driving Museum. This sedan, designed by the famed Howard “Dutch” Darrin, was the subject of a thorough restoration by the Mathewson Brothers of Renton, Washington, and still wears the Mathewsons’ respray in the original Horizon Blue color.

1927 Lincoln Dietrich Convertible Coupe

Lot # 148 (Sale Order: 46 of 174)      

Cosmopolitan Motors is proud to offer a very rare automobile with an aristocratic pedigree: A 1927 Lincoln Model L Convertible Coupe, custom-bodied by Dietrich. It is one...more of a very few known examples – 13 according to Lincoln registry records. It is, of course, a CCCA Full Classic. The Lincoln L was the first model Lincoln ever made. Its quality made the brand famous – and after a bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Ford five years before this beauty was crafted, the L models only got better. As designer Ray Dietrich’s fame grew at the same time, the marriage of the redoubtable Lincoln chassis and motor with Dietrich’s coachwork produced spectacular results. A seafoam grey Dietrich-bodied Lincoln rumble seat convertible coupe won Dietrich the best of show at the 1927 Paris Salon, and a look at the lovely lines of this authentic example clearly shows why. It shows the Dietrich brilliance with a low accent line and sporty windshield and convertible top with elegant hinged – and still fully functional --Landau bars. Headed for the links? You’ll be glad to know the car has a golf-club door and storage area, as well as an elegant rumble seat. Amazingly, this beautiful survivor still features its magnificent original 358cid V8, as matching engine number and cowl tag demonstrate. And what an engine! The famed Lincoln fork and blade design, credited to company founder and engineering genius Henry Leland, featured a shared crankshaft bearing for each two connecting rods, meaning a short crank and compact design. With Dietrich on top and Leland below, engineering excellence was everywhere on the 1927 Lincoln. The V-8 has had recent repair and service by a Lincoln expert. The original updraft carburetor and accessories are included in the sale, but the car now runs on a downdraft Holley two-barrel carb. The striking 21-inch wheels are of a demountable rim design. When the rim is removed for tire repair or replacement, the spokes remain in place. The car’s rear spare carrier is mounted, but the spare demountable rim is absent. The very old tires should be replaced. Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the car is the driver’s aspect with spectacular steering wheel and striking dash, featuring an elegant Waltham clock and advanced instrument design. The doors and windows open and close nicely. This car is stunning in its originality. It has been treated well and faithfully, with some work yet to be done to bring it to the higher levels – but it is so complete and original that anyone desiring to create a masterpiece could not ask for a better place to begin. It could also be enjoyed with relatively minimal restoration – a running, driving roadster, as faithful and ready to serve as the trademark leaping greyhound on its radiator cap.

1948 Packard Eight Woody Wagon

Lot # 150 (Sale Order: 48 of 174)      

This 1948 Packard Woody Wagon is an extremely rare and sought-after car that's ready for straightforward recommissioning. Tan with brown interior. Just out of long-term ownership and storage, it's ready for cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. It wears an old restoration that shows somewhat tired paint and chrome. The wood is in overall good condition and the interior would benefit from a high level detailing. Nice and straight body and structurally sound. Not currently running. 1948 saw the finalization of Packards post-war styling. This new look was highlighted by a smooth headlight to tail light treatment on the side panels with only the beltline ridge appearing to separate what could be considered the fender line. This free-flow styling as Packard called it, gave the new cars a striking, modern appearance. The front bumper was integrated into the grille and the well-appointed interiors featured large, comfortable seats while offering generous amounts of hood and leg room. In the 1948 brochure, Packard declared it the all-occasion beauty and comfort of a sedan, all the traditional utility of a station wagon along with new strength, streamlining, and proud distinction. This four door wagon was only offered for three years. Its ash panels, framed with birch, were largely decorative; indeed, the only structural woodwork on the otherwise steel-bodied vehicle was the tailgate, which pioneered the two-piece gate design that would become a feature of most American wagons by the mid-1950s. Power came from Packards smooth-running inline-eight engine. In total, just 3,885 examples of the Eight Station Sedan were built from 1948 through 1950, with the majority produced in 1948; few have survived to the present. Packard Woody Wagons are extremely rare and seldom come on the market. This is a great opportunity to acquire this rare and sought after model at a bargain price. This 1948 Packard Eight Station Sedan represents a rare offering from the twilight years of wood-trimmed wagon production. An elegant and unusual woody wagon design. One of only 3,885 produced, of which few survive. A dream come true for the Packard collector.

1980 Maserati Quattroporte III

Lot # 151 (Sale Order: 49 of 174)      

In the early 1960's, the success of Maserati's Gran Turismo line inspired Giulio Alfieri to create a sedan to match the elegance, refinement and power, of the spyders and coupes, for which the marque had become famous. The Maserati Quattroporte, translated as four doors, first emerged in 1963 as a revolutionary blend of high-performance sports car and luxury sedan. This fusion placed the Quattroporte as the pioneering vehicle in the luxury sport sedan segment. The first Quattroporte series had a top speed of 143 mph, and it was the fastest four-door production car at the time. An early change included a more traditional rigid rear axle and suspension layout derived from the Mistral. At highway speeds, this revision reduced interior noise level by about 20 dB and made the Quattroporte Series I not just fast, but luxuriously quiet inside. A short-lived, second-generation Quattroporte was developed when Maserati was owned by Citroën. However, the agreement with Citroën came to an end in 1975, hampering the launch of the Quattroporte II. Only 12 units were produced during three years of production. In the hands of Alejandro De Tomaso, the third generation Quattroporte more than made up for the Citroën SM based, front-wheel drive Series II. No fan of Citroën, De Tomaso discarded all Citroën technology and started fresh with Kyalami mechanical parts, a Maserati V8 engine, and rear-wheel drive. ItalDesign's, Giorgetto Giugiaro designed the impressive body of the Quattroporte III. When the car went on sale in 1979, it was an instant commercial success. Production of the Quattroporte III continued until 1990, with a total of 2,145 made. This 1980 Maserati Quattroporte Series III remains in fabulous cosmetic condition, rarely seen as nice for this model. This car came from a Ferrari and Italian rare car collection in Tacoma. It has been well maintained and comprehensive services, totaling over $10,000, have been performed in the last 24 months to make it a spirited driver. This is a spectacular version of a Series III Quattroporte. The Giugiaro-designed body is finished in Blu Malago over a beautiful tan leather interior. Interior comfort features include power-adjustable front seats, wood trim, power windows, and an AM/FM/CD Radio. This vehicle is powered by the 4.9-Liter DOHC V8 engine that is equipped with four weber downdraft carburetors, providing a lovely symphony through the dual exhaust. The power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission.

1955 Nash Ambassador Country Club

Lot # 152 (Sale Order: 50 of 174)      

Lucky Collector Car is proud to offer this amazingly original and delightful 1955 piece of automotive history. The top-of-the-line Nash Ambassador was unique 70 years ago: It offered Pininfarina styling, a Packard V8 and the industry’s best – and least expensive – air-conditioning system. This fully equipped and rare (less than 1,800 made) 2-door hardtop Ambassador Country Club model features all three. Fresh from an evidently meticulous and careful 17-year stewardship by the late previous owner which included full exterior and interior restoration, this may be the best Country Club example extant. It is a stunningly original car, down to the “V8” and “Air Conditioned” exterior badging, the opulent and correct fabrics of the interior, and the 320-cubic-inch Jetfire power plant under the hood. The Ambassador’s 41,859 miles are believed to be actual. This is not a trailer queen but a car that can be experienced and enjoyed, while offering a completely authentic look and feel. During its tenure with the previous owner, the Ambassador received more than $15,000 in improvements. Including paint and interior retrim. Many parts were replaced, rebuilt or refurbished with new chrome or gold plating, and refitted with care. Parking lights and taillights received new old stock lenses. Door handles were replated. Even the mascot hood ornament was rechromed. The Packard Ultramatic transmission was rebuilt in 2010. Items like the generator, water pump, voltage regulator, suspension system, gas cap, headlights, exhaust, door locks, thermostat, and heating/cooling blower motor were serviced and/or replaced as the need arose. That pioneering air conditioning system was serviced in 2021. The AM radio that came in that sparkling dash still works fine. The original 6-volt electrical system is intact, with a new battery. The front seat, which at 65 inches was the widest offered in a car to date, folds into a bed. Nash, always known for innovation in engineering, was struggling to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler in the early ‘50s, and that’s why company president George W. Mason solicited design assistance from Italian icon Farina and forged a partnership with Packard-Studebaker that resulted in the Packard engines being made available in top-end Nashes in 1955 – the first time since World War II that eight cylinders had been on offer in any Nash vehicle. He also merged with Hudson to form American Motors shortly before his death in late 1954. By the time the ’55s were being sold, George Romney was the fledgling AMC’s new boss. So, this car, Mason’s vision but Romney’s flagship, really does carry more than its share of automotive history along with a prodigious amount of steel and brightwork. A luxury car in every way, the Ambassador’s curb weight of 3,810 pounds indicates how solidly it is built. A factory plate proudly informs, “This is a double strength Unit Body built with an advanced method of body construction in which the body and frame are combined into a single all-welded structural unit … pioneered and built exclusively by American Motors Corp.” This unusual and beautiful car is offered with extensive service documentation. Here’s your chance to invest in a proud marque’s legacy and enjoy the ride.
