My recollection is that it is a 1911 Auburn.

I was thinking of the dark green car 5 up from the bottom. And in the other picture 10 up from the bottom. It has a lot of brass to be made after the 1920's.

If you are talking of the last picture in the set the car in back of the Auburn is a Model A Duesenberg. The fellow is building a new body for it, his wood work is very nice.

Hello Tom. Pete knew exactly who was cleaning the front bumper of my car. He just wanted to rub in the balding line. Randy

I got a lot of awkward looks lying down on the floor of the ACD Museum to get pictures of J-453's undercarriage for a friend.

I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed the pictures. My wife, Murline, is the person with the camera. I think she does a very nice job. She may have a few more pictures if anyone is interested.

As to the fellow on the ground. He didn't fall down, he is trying for a different view would be my guess. I don't believe he was a club member just someone passing by.

That is Randy Ema polishing the bumper on his Auburn 12 cylinder
pheaton.

The 812 SC Cord convertible coupe, without the pipes coming through the hood, is being built by Henry Portz. It is an incredible piece of work. The fit of each piece is without equal, at least from other Cords I have seen. He took the engine out before the meet, as he didn't like the way the firewall looked. He is going to rub it out some more.

Who is the old almost bald guy polishing the bumper of the Auburn with disk wheels?

Replied by Jonathan Richards on topic Photos you posted from West Coast Meet
Mr. Georgeson:
Thank you for posting the fine pictures. I was particularly interested
in your shots of the 12 cylinder Auburn speedster and convertible sedan.
Also enjoyed the shots of the beautiful two toned blue L-29 cabriolet. I
wonder if you know the name of the owner of the black Auburn 12 speed-
ster which does not appear to be over-restored and may even be very
much original. The same can be said of the 12 cylinder convertible sedan
in the clay tile shade of red with solid wheels. We don't have opportunity
to see your West Coast ACD vehicles too often here in the mid - section
of our country because it is so far to travel to the fall Auburn national
meet. Thanks, again , for sharing your photographs. Sincerely, Jonathan
(Jack) Richards at Red Oak, Iowa aka <a href="mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url]
