I've just acquired this beautiful Auburn race car from Argentina. I'm now in the process of learning more of its interesting history.
It's powered by a Lycoming straight 8 with a downdraft carburetor. Most photos I've seen have an updraft carb.
I've also been thinking of bringing "Lily" to the ACD show.
At the same time, I've been looking into getting an 812 phaeton or sportsman. I'm somewhat aware of the finicky transmission so, any advice would be welcomed. There are several advertised on Hemming's that look good. Wondering which one is more desirable, the two or four place car??
Thanking you all in advance and I look forward to being an active member.
