He is at it again... our Good Friend Frank Rotter is about to get started on another Auburn Project. He said that he will keep us posted as work progresses. Photo's of Franks past project Auburns can be found on these pages and his finished Speedsters are depicted in the Auburn Speedsters Gallery. Keep up the Good Work Frank!

Bob Kidder sent us these pictures (6 above and 12 new ones below) of his Elegant Motors Auburn in the early build stage. Bob's Auburn uses a custom 3x5 tube frame with 1979 Caprice front and rear suspension. Bob credits the workmanship and attention to detail to Master builder Pete Fullerton. Power will be from a Chevrolet 250 cubic inch six cylinder that is fed through triple carburetors. These early photo's were taken in Spring 2005.

A September 2010 update from Bob, "Here are 12 more pictures to share with you and your readers. I’ve been driving this car for the last year and a half, taking it to shows and cruises without paint and a half-finished interior and have received many compliments. Almost three years ago I sent you pictures of the custom frame and motor going together. Work goes on with fiberglass and getting it ready for color. I am 6 feet 7 inches and needed to modify the body by taking out the convertible top door and building floor hugging seats that allow plenty of room for legs and head.

Frank Rotter, from Germany, is one of the Busiest Guys I know when it comes to Building, Re-Building, Restoring, Buying and Selling 2nd Generation Auburn Speedsters. At last count he has bought and sold 20+ Auburn Speedsters. He currently owns four others. This should come as no surprise... but the 1935-1936 Boattail Auburn Speedster is his Favorite Car. He is always looking for more cars, if you have any leads send them his way! He buys Auburns from around the world! You can email Frank at: frankrotter@arcor.de

ACD Club Member, Curt Schulze, is another Busy Guy. Not only does he confess to Way Too Many Auburn Projects, but he also Sells and Reproduces Parts for Original Auburns. He is a Good Guy and a Good Source for Auburn Parts, new, used and reproductions. Depicted above is his Speedster and Convertible Sedan.

This is my Red Car. These photo's were taken in 2001. I purchased it in California and had it shipped home in November 2000. It is an 866 Auburn and was produced by Glenn Pray's Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in the mid-seventies. The car is painted a Corvette Mili Miglia Red with a Saddle leather interior. The overall condition of the paint was too nice to require a total repaint, so I elected to disassemble the car and only paint what was needed. While apart I decide to replace all of the body welting and cleanup up the chassis and detail the under hood area.  (the webmaster, Mark)

Never say Never... Rick Monroe from Enfield, Connecticut is building a Boeing Turbine Powered Auburn Speedster. The frame and driveline is just about finished in these pictures. Body work and Paint is next. There is a test drive video to view on You Tube.
