Saw lots of great people at Auburn last labor day. We looked over all three of the coupes on display there and talked to their owners. The body tag (not the VIN) was missing from Dad's car. Through great contacts at the festival, we were able to identify the missing body serial number on this car and a NOS plate on which to return the original number. We also confirmed accounts that this coupe may have been the first Auburn Glen Prey owned. Finding parts for this car is likely the reason Glen Prey started down the path that eventually led to him buying the company and giving birth to the second generation of cars that his company produced. It is now up and running with a freshly rebuilt Lycoming 8. It will be getting new top fabric soon.
Here is one I haven't seen on the thread yet. "The Nashional Debt" was built by Kurt Deisinger and other Counts Car Club members for me from 2003 to 2007. It is a 1934 Nash Advanced coupe found, as shown, in a farm dump in nearby Shadehill, SD.
Top car is a Dietrich Stationary Coupe, while the bottom car is Judkins. Lincoln had a catalog custom program with Dietrich, Lebaron and Judkins as well as some Brunn bodied cars.
That IS interesting! the lore with the car is that the scratches on the inside of the door were from when he would cruise around with his pet LION I thought the 'lion' thing was merely a "tall tale". maybe not!
This car has had its' engine completely refinished, and is currently in the Northeast having paint and body finished.
