1936 Auburn 852 Navigation
This 1936 Auburn 852SC Cabriolet was in a prominent Texas collection for many years where it was well maintained and cared for. The current owner purchased the car in 2004 and brought it to auction in 2008. It has recently been repainted and given a new interior. It is finished in light blue and has a tan convertible top. There is a chrome exhaust, a rear-mounted spare tire, and blue-painted wire wheels with chrome-plated hubcaps riding on wide whitewall tires. The interior is brown leather upholstery and there is a rumble seat in the rear.
In 2008, this car was brought to the 2nd Annual Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $125,000. Those estimates were proven accurate when the bidding reached $104,500 including the buyer's premium. The lot was sold.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2008
