If you enjoy the videos and would like to Sponsor me on Patreon, my Creator link is www.patreon.co...
On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 9-8-23.
We're looking at a 1936 Auburn 852 Supercharged Cabriolet in Blue Paint. The car comes with the a 280 CI supercharged straight 8 engine and an 3 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Mark Spandikow. Mark’s had this car since 2018. He shares his read that a supercharged Auburn would be a good investment so he found one in pieces. He restored it and this one looks showroom new.
ENJOY!

What a splendid automobile. Beautiful restoration; the attention to detail on the dash is fantastic and is not seen on cars of today.

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read "What a splendid automobile" :-)

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

What a gorgeous and stately car for two gentlemen such as you and Mr. Spandikow to enjoy. And with the supercharger, you can arrive as early as you'd like for any of the activities of the day. Thanks, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi The Gunfighter45acp, "What a gorgeous and stately car" Well said. My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@tommywatterson5276]

A beauty of an automobile. Looking over the whole car, just shows you what could be engineered and manufactured in excellence in 1936. Absolutely amazing to me. The self starter mechanism when the engine stalls .... I've never heard of such. This guy did an unheard of job restoring this car too. It looks showroom new. I don't want to think of the job it was finding needed parts.

Hi Tommy, Happy to read "A beauty of an automobile" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou

[@czechmate6916]

I don’t think it was as hard as people would think. If you belong to the Auburn community they have connections with each other I would imagine some parts have been custom made. What really matters is the $$$

What a pair to have, a convertible and of course the woody. I just came back from a 3 day visit to the Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg Museum. What works of art those cars are.

Superb restoration of this classic car, my favorite brand. I like the earlier cars with the pin-striping from 29 but this is a better car technologically and driveable. The script like much of the car has Art Deco styling. The engine is a monster - what a job he did on the engine compartment. The instrument panel is just art. The only item on my bucket list I don't have checked off. Congrats to the master auto archaeologist owner and thanks for the guided tour Lou !

[@JaimeSalcedoA_72]

I think you had already presented this model in a previous video. All in all, this 1936 Auburn 852 Supercharged with that combination of dark blue and light brown roof will delight everyone who sees it pass by! You're right, seen from the front it appears to be in the shape of a large blue heart; along with its beautiful and large grille and chrome headlights (special mention for the beautiful ornament in the shape of a winged woman on top of the hood). Very interesting about the exterior folding seat where the trunk would go; although, yes, it has little legroom. A nice interior and upholstery; from its suicide-type doors, to its chrome instrument panel in "art deco" style (I don't know, but the feathers on those dials remind me a little of those of certain instruments on steam trains, hehe). Lastly, I loved the relaxing walk through those places and streets; like the little tunnel under the train tracks! Congratulations to Mr. Spandicow, for owning, and assembling, this classic! And to you, Lou, for the great shots you always get; like the last one, where you made a final close-up of the rear guide lit up with the Aurburn logo!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jaime, You're right, the "Woody" version of this car was shared before. Glad to read the details you enjoy, and nice to have you along for the ride, Lou.

[@cobracharmer6178]

Beautiful car Lou! Remember, most of these ritzy car companies held monopolies and patents. Meaning no one could build their own car or start a car company without paying royalties. Henry Ford changed all that by going to the Supreme Court. Go Detroit Lions! 😀👍

Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car Cobra Charmer!

[@charlescrawford7039]

This is a classic car with an emphasis on “class”. The 1930s was a golden age for American automotive manufactures which is epitomize in this design. The Auburn emblem noted on this video as best as I can tell, first appeared with the Auburn Beauty-SIX in 1919. The lettering including the stylized “U” letter were mostly likely influenced by the Arts and Crafts fonts of the early 20th Century. 5:18

Are those modern gauges? I can't believe even a supercharged Auburn would have a 120 MPH speedometer. What a beautiful car. He really did a super job on this car.

Once again I've learned something... didn't know Lycoming made a straight Eight. I knew about the six and I had a chance to turn wrenches on a Supercharged Cord V-8 . I was pleasantly surprised to find that the V-8 had a roller cam....I'd love to see the inside of that super eight. Thanx again.
