AUBURN SPEEDSTER BOATTAIL SUPERCHARGED 1935 REPLICA - UNIQUE IN FRANCE ! Based on a 1979 Chevrolet, with collector's registration papers in order, this exceptional replica of the iconic 1935 Auburn Speedster Boattail is a rare piece and a true automotive masterpiece.
The history of this legendary model dates back to the Roaring Twenties, when Errett Cord, a visionary industrialist, transformed Auburn, alongside prestigious brands such as Cord, Duesenberg, and Lycoming Engines, into a symbol of American automotive luxury in the 1920s/ 30s. This iconic model is immortalised in the film Gatsby the Magnificent (2013), during a racing scene between Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and a Duesenberg SJ on the roads of Long Island. Hollywood legends such as Howard Hughes, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable and James Cagney were the proud owners of this marvel. Its breathtaking design, by Russian designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, blends elegance and aerodynamics in an Art Deco 'Streamline Moderne' style. Inspired by the Cord Royale 812 and Duesenberg J, its distinctive boattail rear recalls the skiffs of the 1910s, designed by legendary designer Gordon Buehrig. This model is powered by a powerful 5. 7-litre Chevrolet 350 Ci V8 engine developing around 250 horsepower, with a TH 350 automatic gearbox that perfectly matches the car's impressive power. Fully serviced by a professional, it is in perfect working order. The leather upholstery has a superb patina, while the bodywork remains in excellent condition. The Auburn Speedster, with its refined details such as the alpaca soft top concealed in an integrated tailgate, is also equipped with a side compartment for small luggage, ideal for a golf set. This replica is a true rolling work of art, with a full expert report and several press appearances to its credit. If you want to stand out from the crowd behind the wheel of an exceptional vehicle, this Auburn Speedster Boattail is for you. Price & info: Please contact us.
