The Central Texas Museum of 

Automotive History was founded by 

Dick Burdick in 1980 as a 501(c)3 non-profit 

educational foundation and was dedicated to the 

collection, restoration and preservation of historic automobiles, 

accessories and related memorabilia. It is over 40,000 square feet, climate 

controlled building and rests on approximately five acres. 

The collection traces the development of the automobile and its effect 

on the social and economic climate of much of the world. It traces the 

evolution from the high wheelers and steam buggies of the turn of the century 

through the boxy utilitarian cars of the late teens and twenties, the classic 

era of the late 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the dream machines and land yachts 

of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, as well as the transition of the highly efficient 

aerodynamic 

sport and passenger cars. 

It is a one-of-a-kind collection that began with the first vehicle 

Mr. Burdick purchased in 1970 and a destination 

for anyone with a love for collector vehicles 

and the automotive industry’s glory days.

RICHARD (DICK) BURDICK 

Founder, Central Texas Museum of Automotive History 

When one begins to describe Dick Burdick of San Marcos, Texas many words come to 

mind, successful businessman, avid classic car collector, museum curator, community 

leader are only a few of the accolades Burdick has earned during his over 50 years 

in business. He is the founder of Thermon Industries, a powerhouse in the heat 

tracing business which provides products and services that keep liquids at specific 

temperatures. Burdick built the company into a global force with offices throughout 

the United States in Texas, California, Delaware, Louisiana and North Carolina. 

International manufacturing and engineering offices are in 12 other countries, 

including India, Japan, New Zealand and Russia. 

Aside from his established corporate career, Burdick’s passion for collecting classic 

cars has resulted in him owning one of the best car collections in the world. It is 

so extensive that he opened two museums over his years of collecting, the Central 

Texas Museum of Automotive History which opened in 1981 in Bastrop County near 

Rosanky, Texas and Dick’s Classic Garage in San Marcos, Texas which he opened 

in 2009. His stories about each car are as entertaining and interesting as the cars 

themselves. Burdick began collecting in 1948 when he purchased a yellow 1948 Buick 

Roadmaster convertible after he got out of the Army. Although he sold that automobile 

he was bitten by the classic car collecting bug and the rest is history. Burdick continues 

to enjoy a long relationship with Boy Scouts of America, having risen to the top ranks 

and served in many post that have taken him around the world on behalf of BSA. 

Burdick is married to Johnnie Burdick and they have 6 children.

Lot No. 1 

1901 Holsman Model #54 “High 

Wheeler” Rear Entrance touring Car 

5 HP, Horizontally Opposed 2 Cylinder Engine, 

Rope Drive 

Chassis No. 1598 

One of the most successful early brands of horseless carriage 

in the USA was Holsman, who offered a relatively powerful 

engine for the day and with its tall, high wheel stance, 

appealed to those living in the country where horse drawn 

buggies were able to ply through the rough roads. This 

example features a very rare rear entrance touring car that 

could seat up to three people comfortably and appears to 

have been restored a number of years ago. Steering is done 

through a tiller and braking is reported to be adequate for 

a car that would probably have a 15 mph maximum speed. 

This design inspired a number of other pioneer carmakers 

of the day. It is a complete vehicle that has been a member 

of the museum for many years. We also believe that it 

would qualify for a London to Brighton run. This is a rare 

opportunity to own a very early 20th Century 

motoring vehicle. 

Please Note: Our research indicates that this vehicle may be 

a 1903 model year, however the title reads 1901. 


Lot No. 2 

1903 Stanley Steamer Model C Runabout 

6.5HP, 2-Cylinder Steam Engine 


In the early part of the 20th Century, steam powered cars were quite popular and in 1906, Fred W. Marriott, 

Stanley’s chief mechanic, piloted a steamer to the land speed record. Established in 1901, Stanley Steamers became 

the industry leader for this mode of transportation and every year saw more improvements. This vintage example 

was set up to handle four passengers, riding on the 28” x 3.00” tires. Front seat passengers had an unobstructed 

view of the road ahead and either person could steer the car through a centrally mounted tiller. With a leather 

front piece and fenders fashioned from wood, this little runabout could probably attain speeds in excess of 40 mph, 

but be wary of those ancient brakes. Wearing a smart wicker basket ready for a picnic and the vintage kerosene 

powered Neverout brass lamps, the perfect car for a spin. It should be noted that this car has been idle for many 

years and before steam operations, it should be completely checked out by an expert with these cars. Alternative 

fuel from nearly 110 years ago, this Stanley Steamer is a rare opportunity for the discerning collector. 


Lot No. 3 

1905 Cadillac Model F touring Car 

9 HP, 98.2 cid, 1 Cylinder Engine 

Engine No. 23306 

From the beginning, Cadillac’s chief engineer, 

Henry Leland, made sure that precision in manufacturing 

would result in a dependable motorcar. It might cost a 

little more at the start, but if a cylinder bore was more than 

1/1000th of an inch off, it was discarded and one a bit closer 

to perfection was used. 

With this degree of perfection it is no wonder Cadillac 

would become known as the Standard of the World. This 

delightful car appears received a full restoration a number 

of years ago and is complete including a pair of Orient 

brass lights from Dietz with a single Solar brand rear light. 

Mounted on the rear of the car is a spare tire ready for the 

eventual blowout, while electrical power was supplied via 

the Connecticut Telegraph & Electric company box. 

On display for many years in the museum, the simple 

mechanics of this car should make it a snap to get back on 

the road for some high adventure and motoring fun. 



Lot No. 4 

1906 Bugmobile Model A Runabout 

1 Cylinder, 3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Engine, 

Chain Drive 

ID No. WN60601348 

While the intentions of the person who named this car 

might have been to imply that it was a motorized buggy, 

the final result was one that makes a person scratch their 

head and say why. In business for just a couple of years, 

the Bugmobile was headquartered in the Chicago, Illinois 

area, and despite its name employed a number of advanced 

design features for the day. 

When this car was located the original horizontally opposed 

two cylinder engine and final drive had been lost to the 

ages. Restored using locally fabricated gearing and axles 

and a 1980’s era B&S engine. 

With solid rubber tires and employing a tiller steering 

system this car would be a delight for anyone to own, either 

to use as a parade vehicle or as a display car to promote a 

business or organization, this is one car that won’t drive 

you “buggy”. 

Please Note: Our research indicates that this vehicle may be 

a 1908 model year, however the title reads 1906. 

Lot No. 5 

1906 International Harvester Auto 

Wagon Model A Depot Hack 

15 HP, 196 cid Horizontally Opposed 2-Cylinder Engine, 

Chain Drive 

Engine No. 27113EC 

This is a very unique and quite rare example from 

one of the most respected names in American trucks, 

International-Harvester located in Chicago, Illinois. When 

new, it was advertised to be able to carry up to 800 pounds, 

and from the looks of the components, we think that 

number is a very conservative figure. Featuring an older 

restoration among the many features of this truck is the 

front end sheet metal formed out of sheets of copper with 

one of the hood panels as well as the radiator face-plate 

carrying the “International” name in script. It also features a 

pair of original International brass headlights plus a vintage 

rubber squeeze-bulb operated Tally-O-Horn. 

The body appears to have been constructed at the time of 

restoration but much of the original supporting hardware 

appears to be the same vintage as the engine and chassis. 

On those big solid rubber tires it is impossible to know 

where this truck might have served, but it can be assumed 

it had a big hand helping to build a better tomorrow for the 

world in the early 20th Century. 

Please Note: Our research indicates that this vehicle may 

be a 1914 to 1916 model year, however the title reads 

1906 International.

Lot No. 6 

1908 Maxwell Model LC Runabout 

14 HP, Horizontally Opposed 2-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed 

Transmission, Chain Drive 


Probably one of America’s favorite early economy cars, the 

Maxwell was known for its simple, yet effective engineering. 

Considered to be light-weight, this example is perfect for a 

party of two. One of the first cars to use a steering wheel, 

it was a cozy ride, and with simple mechanics usually 

meant that whoever was riding in a Maxwell got to their 

destination safely. Founded in 1904, a tragic fire destroyed 

the original factory in 1907. However, before the 1908 models 

were ready to roll, a modern, state-of-the-art facility was 

up and running in New Castle, Indiana. This particular car 

appears to have been the subject of a quality restoration a 

number of years ago. On display in the museum for quite 

some time it appears to need little more than some TLC 

to get it in full running order. Fitted with original brass 

cowl-lamps and a tool-box mounted on the rear deck, this 

car could be a lot of fun to own and drive. The Maxwell 

brand would remain a producer of automobiles up into 

the 1920’s when it was absorbed by the young Chrysler 

Corporation and would eventually form the basis for the 

Plymouth brand. For many years after Maxwell had left the 

automotive theme its name was kept alive by comedian Jack 

Benny, which led many collectors to add one of these iconic 

horseless carriages to their collection. 


Lot No. 7 

1910 Empire “The Little Aristocrat” 

Sportabout Model 20 

20 HP, In-Line 4-Cylinder “T-Head” Engine, 

3-Speed Transmission, Chain Drive 


This car was developed by four prominent automotive 

pioneers including Arthur Newby, Carl Fisher, James Allison 

and Robert Hassler. Home for this new make would be 

Indianapolis, Indiana, and three of those gentlemen also 

had another business interest in town, the new Indianapolis 

Motor Speedway. In December 1909, after the track had been 

paved with bricks, the first car to take a spin on this new 

course was the first Empire off the line. With the looks of a 

more powerful sports car like a Mercer or Stutz Bearcat, this 

little roadster is the cat’s meow. Finished in bright yellow 

with black pin-stripe, it also features black leather bucket 

seats and its original cast aluminum step-plates. Lighting 

was supplied by a full Presto-lite system, another company 

owned by Fisher, and is fitted with Victor headlights. With 

12-spoke wooden wheels featuring large 33” x 4” tires, it 

means business. A vintage Jones Speedometer mounted on 

the car shows just 220 miles, which are believed to have been 

accumulated since the vehicle’s full restoration. Among other 

brass appointments are a pair of operating cowl-lights, brass 

horn and shifting levers plus guides. Sure to turn heads 

wherever it is shown, as well as appreciate in value, this is a 

rare opportunity to acquire a sporty edition from America’s 

brass era. 

Lot No. 8 

1910 E-M-F Model 30 Runabout 

30 HP, In-Line 4-Cylinder T-Head Motor, 

3-Speed Transmission 


Taking its name from the first initials of the three founders 

last name, the EMF got a bad rap from the beginning 

by being used as an acronym for such things as “Every 

Mechanics Friend” or “Every Morning Fixit”. In truth, the 

EMF was a very good car for its day and the men behind it 

were tops in their field. Barney Everitt had done quite well 

in the early body business, William Metzger’s expertise 

in sales had taken Cadillac to its leadership position and 

Walter Flanders understood production having helped 

Henry Ford get his company up to speed. This sharp little 

runabout appears to have been lovingly restored a number 

of years ago and is well appointed from the original EMF-30 

brass headlights to the Jarvis winged “Water Meter” radiator 

ornament. It is even fitted with a Haven clock and vintage 

Jones combination speedometer and odometer, which 

indicates 4,224 miles. Through a marketing agreement, 

Studebaker had a hand in the sales and distribution of 

the car and today the EMF is considered a part of that 

automaker’s legacy. With just a little work this car could be 

up and running ready for rallies or car shows, giving you a 

chance to buy a 102 year old legend. 


Lot No. 9 

1911 Buick Model 14B “Buggyabout” 

14.2 HP, 127 cid, Horizontally Opposed 2-Cylinder Motor, 

3-Speed Transmission, Chain Drive 

Chassis No. 14B466 

By 1911, the Buick automobile had been established as 

a leader in the industry and its position within the new 

General Motors Corporation as a builder of quality 

automobiles was well-known. While most of the production 

was dedicated to larger 4-cylinder cars, there had been a 

hope to capture some of the lower-price market by keeping 

smaller 2-cylinder models in production. The Model 14 and 

14B would be the last of those efforts. Finished in gleaming 

white this compact model, called the Buggyabout by Buick, 

appears to have been restored only a few years back. 

Featuring a gas lighting system, brass is quite prevalent on 

this car including the original radiator, which feeds each 

cylinder head independently, and was produced for Buick by 

the Rome-Turney Radiator Company. This would make an 

excellent addition to a collection of brass era vehicles or for 

the Buick collector looking for a significant member of this 

marque’s illustrious past. 



Lot No. 10 

1912 R-C-H “Twenty‑Five” touring Car 

22 HP, In-Line L-Head 4-Cylinder Motor, 3-Speed 

Transmission, Shaft Drive 


It is interesting that there are a number of early automotive 

founders who left the company that bore their name so that 

they could pursue the vehicle of their own design rather 

than that of the investors and directors. One such person 

was Robert C. Hupp, who had been at the forefront of the 

founding of Huppmobile in 1909. Based on sound designs 

and high production quality the new Huppmobile was a 

success but bigger, better, more expensive cars were ordered 

by the board. Hupp left and after a legal battle ended up 

using his initials as the name of his company, much as in 

the fashion of Ransom E. Olds or Harry C. Stutz. The new 

R-C-H was founded in 1912. This is one of his first examples, 

which features an engine of his own design. It was a rather 

advanced car for its day with the newly developed Hanna 

Self Starter being one of the biggest draws, to the five lamps 

being standard and demountable 32” x 3” wheels, all for a 

price starting at $850. 

This tourer appears to have been given a cosmetic restoration 

a number of years ago and is a former member of the 

Harrah’s Automobile Collection. There are very few R-C-H 

cars left, and this would be a rare opportunity to own a piece 

of unique history. 

Lot No. 11 

1913 Regal twenty Five 

Underslung Roadster 

22.5 HP, 199 cid, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 

3-Speed Transmission, Shaft Drive 


Long before Buick ever used this name, Regal was a 

respected member of the automotive scene. Endurance in 

the early days of motoring was extremely important and 

the little Regal, founded in 1908, had proven itself in 1909 

when a model nicknamed the Regal “Plugger”, was driven 

from New York to San Francisco and then across the country 

several more times for a total of 22,000 miles, quite a fete in 

the days before Interstates and paved highways. This little 

roadster appears to be mostly original and is built for the 

open road. With is low-slung chassis and body, you ride 

closer to the ground than most cars of its day. It appears to 

have had a spare tire mounted on the rear deck at one point. 

With its open-air seating, this is a chance for you to put on 

your helmet and goggles and enjoy some real motoring 

excitement. Finished in black with blue pinstripes and 

matching wood spoke wheels the uncomplicated mechanics 

of the day should be relatively easy to bring it up to 

running order.

Lot No.12 

1913 REo “The Fifth” 

Four-Door touring Car 

30/35 HP, In-Line F-Head 4-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed 

Transmission, Shaft Drive 


When Ransom E. Olds left the Oldsmobile Company in 

1904 for “certain reasons” as a young GM’s PR department 

declared, he set out to build the cars he felt should be 

produced. He would do what few others could do and that 

is achieve success in his endeavors. In 1909 he introduced 

his first 4-cylinder model, and like many of his earlier 

developments this was well engineered. Olds had invested 

nearly a quarter-century in the business and considered 

this to be his “farewell” design. When the “Fifth” was put 

into production it featured such advancements as worm 

and sector steering gears with steering wheel on the left, 

multiple disc clutch and center shift control. 

This touring car was one of 7,467 produced during the 

1913 season, and stands as a testament to the quality of its 

construction. Given a light cosmetic restoration a number of 

years ago it has been an important part of the collection for 

over two decades. Reportedly this car has been run in recent 

years and with just a bit of work could be ready to ply the 

highways. Finished with an ivory paint job, black leather 

seats and with a heavy top in dark brown, it is wearing a set 

of 34” x 4” Firestone “Non-Skid” tires on the original wood 

spoke wheels. It will be giving its new owners many years 

of enjoyable antique motoring adventures. 


Lot No. 13 

1914 Ford Model t Roadster 

22.5 HP, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 2-Speed 

Planetary Gears, Shaft Drive 


No other single car in history introduced the world to 

the adventures of motoring than Henry Ford’s Model T. 

As these cars became more popular, he devised ways to 

make them cheaper to build and cheaper to own, while 

maintaining a level of quality and reliability. It was pretty 

bare-bones to say the least, but the Model T lives on today 

as an all-time favorite. Early models or those with brass 

radiators, are among the most desired by collectors such 

as this little roadster. This car appears to have been a full 

frame-off restoration with the sheet metal as straight, if 

not more so, than when it was new. With the body finished 

in olive green and fenders in black, a prettier picture of 

Americana would be hard to beat. On the left running board 

is the acetylene tank for the lights plus an expandable rack 

for storing items like spare cans of gas, oil or water. It is 

reported that this Model T has been used on a regular basis 

and from its gleaming brass it looks as sharp today as it did 

98 years ago. 

Note: This car is titled as a 1914 year model but the 

numbers on the engine indicate it was manufactured in 

February 1915. 

Lot No. 14 

1914 Studebaker Series SC 

Roadster Custom 

19.6 HP, 192.4 cid, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 



Bowing to the standards set by the Ford Model T, the new 

Chevrolet and other popular makes, 1914 saw Studebaker 

change their steering wheel locations from the right to the 

left side of the car. There were other innovations that year 

such as relocating the shifting lever and emergency brake 

control to a central position. This year all lighting was now 

electric as was the recently developed self-starter considered 

one of the biggest improvements in motoring. 

This interesting roadster is fitted with what was commonly 

called a “mother-in-law” seat, mounted in the center behind 

the two front bucket seats. The beauty of this car has to 

be its simplicity, and from our inspection it appears this 

car is ready to hit the open road. Finished in a deep blue 

with white pinstripes and black fenders, its brass-framed 

windshield and nickel plated headlight rings provide plenty 

of eye appeal to this car. According to the vintage Stewart 

Warner speedometer mounted on the dashboard of this car 

it has seen 15,810 from what we believe was a restoration 

probably undertaken a number of years ago. 


Lot No. 15 

1915 Metz Model “22” Roadster 

22 HP, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 

Gearless Transmission 


In 1909, when Charles Metz introduced his first automobile, 

he had been no stranger to vehicle production. Since the 

mid 1880’s, Metz bicycles manufactured under the Waltham 

name, had been very popular and some of his special 

editions, like a bicycle built for 10, had given him quite a bit 

of notoriety. In 1898, he motorized a tandem-bike and has 

been recognized as the first such vehicle in America. Metz 

helped the Waltham Company develop a small motorcar. 

In 1908 he managed to acquire Waltham, which was buried 

in debt, filled with an inventory of parts to build quite a 

few cars, but with few funds to pay employees to assemble 

them. Dividing the assembly of his cars into 14 parts, he put 

together packages for $25 each allowing the customers to 

pay on the installment plan while they put their own 

car together. 

This model seems to have been given a light cosmetic 

restoration and retains many of its original appointments. 

Among them, original Presto-lite headlights, however the 

charging tank is missing as are the top bows. It does have 

its original windshield frame and what appear to be proper 

cowl lights. This vintage roadster looks to be complete 

mechanically and would be fun to take on the road. 



Lot No. 16 

1916 Haynes Model 34 type t 

“Light Six” Four-Door touring Car 

55 HP, T-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 



The Haynes-Apperson was considered America’s first 

commercially successful motorcar. It has been built in 

Kokomo, Indiana, and had recorded sales as early as 1894. 

By 1905, Elwood P. Haynes had taken over the company 

and dropped the Apperson name, while continuously 

improving the product. 

1916 saw a number of innovations and improvements 

with a total of 9,813 cars coming off the assembly line that 

season. This example features an older cosmetic re-do with 

the body done in dark blue with ivory pin-stripe, while the 

seats are in black diamond pleated leather, with the top a 

black fabric. The radiator is fitted with a Deluxe Moto-Meter 

and the car features electric lights and starter, of which a 

control box by the Leece-Neville Corporation controls the 

operations. Sitting on huge 34” x 3” wheels, there is a pair of 

spare tires mounted to the rear while on the dashboard you 

can find a Keyless Clutch “rim-wound” dashboard clock and 

Stewart speed-o-meter plus odometer which shows 

1,779 miles. 

Lot No. 17 

1920 Velie “Six” Model 48 


55 HP, 224 cid, Continental “Red Seal” L-Head In-Line 

6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Transmission 

Engine No. 1347R27468 

Created in Moline, Illinois, founder Will Velie had a bit of 

luck on his side when establishing an automotive concern, 

for his grandfather was “the” John Deere. Velie had already 

proven himself as a good businessman and manufacturer 

when he had established and operated a rural buggy 

company. Using a number of components from various 

suppliers, Velie cars were well respected and they earned 

a reputation of reliability and stamina. For 1920 the sales 

brochures proclaimed, “The First Authoritative Example 

of the Modern Style Tendency - a Harmony of 

Symmetrical Planes.” 

This large touring car appears to have been given a cosmetic 

restoration a number of years ago but as a complete car 

it could really benefit from a complete restoration. This 

touring car’s sheet metal is straight with no signs of rust or 

corrosion and the body fits together quite well and the top 

is complete. While this Velie has not been on the road for a 

number of years it looks like it will be a rather quick process 

to bring it back to life. When you become the new owner of 

this Velie, you will have a very unique piece of 

automotive history.

1921 Packard “Twin Six” Series 3-35 Four-Door touring Car 

90 HP, 424 cid, L-Head V-12 Engine, 3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 11333; Engine No. 165256 

When Warren G. Harding rode to his inauguration on March 4, 1921, he became the first President of the United States 

to be transported to this ceremony in a motorcar and the vehicle he chose for this honor was a Packard “Twin Six” 

7-passenger Touring Car much like this beautiful example being offered. This year a new Fuelizer was developed to 

provide more power by pre-igniting the fuel before it entered the cylinder. Sitting on a 135” wheelbase, this was a 

comfortable car to ride in, perfect for the President of the United States. 

Treated to a full professional restoration this was the ultimate in luxury and performance as America entered the 

roaring 20’s. Finished in gleaming black paint and trimmed in black leather with black fabric top, it is an imposing 

vehicle. The plating on brightwork looks fresh with a depth of quality that is sure to win smile and awards. An 

interesting item is the winged Moto Meter which provides a clue to this car’s heritage as it promotes the Chicago 

based distributor with an image of an early bi plane, presumably powered by Packard. The factory installed Waltham 

speedometer/odometer shows 12,075 miles and who knows those could be from new. Other gauges, supplied by 

National include fuel level, oil pressure and amperes. This is an outstanding example of the supremacy of Packard 

from a time when performance and innovation in motoring was important and this model was a leader. It has been 

quite a while since we have seen another early Twin Six of this caliber cross the auction block which makes this a very 

unique opportunity to own the finest, then people will want to ask the man, or woman, who owns one. 

Lot No. 19 

1921 Studebaker “Light Six” 

Model EJ-21 Four-Door touring Car 

40 HP, 207 cid, L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 

3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 1027002 

Studebaker was a rather unique car maker in that they didn’t need to wait for 

a “model year” to start, but introduced its new models when they were ready to 

come to market. To that practice came the introduction of the Model EJ in April 

1920. With improved valves, positive feed engine lubrication, a transmission 

lock and new single disc clutch, this was one of the best performing cars of the 

day. This 5 passenger touring car had a base price around $1,485 when new, 

and offered its owners reliability that Studebaker had built its reputation on, as 

well as up to date styling and comfort for its passengers. 

Treated to a full restoration this sharp looking example is finished in dark green 

body with the louvers on the hood receiving a tasteful pin stripe while the 

fenders are done in gloss black. The interior is fitted with pleated leather while 

the top is in black fabric and retains its oval back glass with beveled edges. 

Interiors, especially the dashboard of these cars, were rather utilitarian and this 

is an example of that practice with only the oil pressure and ampere gauges 

flanking the original Stewart speedometer/odometer, which currently shows 

32,850 miles. When inspecting this car be sure to check out those unique Linex 

lenses in the headlights as well as the Studebaker logo on the winged Moto 

Meter hood ornament. Also found on this car are the four step plates, designed 

to allow passengers to clean the bottom of their shoes before entering the car. 

Vintage Studebakers are sought after in today’s car market due to their good 

looks and ability to ply modern highways at a relatively safe speed. This is a 

prime example of one of the best cars from this era, and the reason that nearly 

28,000 copies were produced in the 1921 model year.

1922 Corre-La Licorne type 14/WR3 

Four-Door torpedo tourer 

by A. Rousett 

9/12 HP, L-Head 1692cc 4-Cylinder Engine, 


Chassis No. 12957; Engine No. 14952 

Building motorcars from 1907 to 1950, this marque was originally 

known as the Corre, and its founders believed that racing would help 

sell cars. They were correct when driver Waldemar Lestienne started 

to win races, sales increased. His cars soon became famous partially 

because of his family crest was what La Licorne, or a literal translation, 

“The Unicorn”. In the early 1920’s, Corre began to brand their cars as 

La Licorne and their engines sourced from Ballot, which offered plenty 

of power plus economy in fuel and in use taxes. 

This attractively designed car received coachwork from Carrosserie 

Automobile A. Rousett in Lyon, France, and has been treated to a full 

restoration which looks to be in very good condition. Bodywork is quite 

solid and the tasteful two tone green exterior compliments the tan fabric 

top and saddle leather seats, giving this car a distinctive, yet subtle 

appearance. As with all La Licornes of the day, it is equipped with right 

hand drive and the brake and shifting levers are mounted to the right of 

the driver. Designed to fit four, there is plenty of room behind the rear 

seats for luggage or picnic gear, which can be easily loaded with a drop 

down tailgate. Under the hood does need some detailing and probably 

a small amount of attention to bring this little car back to life. One of 

the more unusual cars in this collection is providing a very unique 

opportunity to buy and enjoy a bit of French motoring. 



Lot No. 21 

1922 Citroen type C/Model 14 

one Door Boattail tourer 

11 HP (5 HP taxable), 856cc L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder 

Engine, 3-Speed Transmission 


Small light and dependable cars were what the European 

market needed in the early 1920’s and that is exactly the 

package that was delivered with these little cars. With solid 

construction, and advanced engineering the C-series from 

Citroen found plenty of customers. Not only private owners 

but business concerns also found these cars to be economical 

to run, easy to maintain and able carry small loads at 

great distances. 

This sharp little ride was apparently sold new in Paris, 

France by the dealers, Hoschede & Veilleux, who were 

agents for Citroen, as well as American made Ford Model 

T’s. Restored to its original configuration today it features a 

vintage Moto-Meter with the car’s logo, and most impressive 

a period roof-top mounted sign for the Auto-Ecole-Agreee, 

the French version of the Auto Club. Finished in light yellow 

with gloss black fenders, the soft trim is done in black with 

black soft top. A very clean dashboard presents only an 

amperes gauge to monitor the electrical operations of the car. 

It still retains its BRC headlights full disc wheels on which 

are mounted a set of Engelbert tires produced in France. This 

little car would be a welcomed addition into any collection of 

vehicles with engines under 1-liter or for someone wanting 

sportiness and flair on an economical basis. 

Lot No. 22 

1923 Franklin Model 10 

Four-Door Sedan 

25 HP, 199.1 cid Overhead Valve, Air-Cooled 6-Cylinder 


Engine No. E82192 

Using only the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, Franklin 

automobiles adhered to their original designs with exact measurements. 

Their reputation for dependability and endurance was proved when a 

1924 model drove across country, a total of 3,720 miles, in just 13 days, 

quite an accomplishment considering the condition of many roads at 

the time. While these cars enjoyed decent sales, 10,130 units for 1923, 

dealers found it hard to sell a car without at least a radiator shell to look 

like the rest of the cars that used a radiator to cool their engines. They 

would get their wish midyear 1925, leaving earlier models such as this 

example as a transition point for the marque. 

Sporting a professional level restoration this frisky Franklin looks like 

it is ready to hit the road. With the body done in a tasteful light green 

with black pin stripe, the fenders are done in gloss black featuring 

body color pin stripping. The interior of the car is very presentable and 

appears to be done in a combination of black leather and vinyl with 

matching door panels. Atop the one piece, forward hinged hood sits 

this car’s original sitting lion mascot and below, Franklin’s motto 

“Aura Vincit”, which translated mean “Air Conquers”. Under the hood, 

the massive aluminum cover steals the show with most of its mechanics 

in very good to excellent condition. Mounted on the passenger side 

running board is a metal toolbox with nickel plated front and rear 

bumpers. One of the most interesting aftermarket accessories is a 

genuine windshield mounted Clymer Spotlight! If you are worried 

about taking a vintage car on tour and overheating, this Franklin would 

serve as a perfect alternative, and a classy ride at its best.

Lot No. 23 

1923 Stearns-Knight Model SKL4 


63 HP, 248.5 cid, Sleeve-Valve In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 


Chassis No. S581 

From the beginning of its operations, Stearns Automobiles 

was a builder of high-quality and dependable automobiles. 

They were large massive cars that commanded respect for its 

engineering. In 1911, Stearns became the first American car 

to make a licensing agreement to produce their version of the 

Knight sleeve-valve engine. While rated at 63 HP when new, the 

beauty of these power plants is that the more they were used, 

the better the performance became. As carbon deposits built up, 

it raised the compression in the cylinder resulting in noticeably 

higher horsepower. 

This beautiful example appears to have been given a partial 

cosmetic restoration but much of the car appears to be original 

including a number of interior appointments and the items 

under the hood. Finished in a off-white with black fenders this 

car represents one of the most luxurious models of the day 

and these cars are rarely seen being offered at auction. The 

interior is trimmed in black leather and the top is also black. 

One interesting point we spotted during our inspection was 

the original dealer’s plate affixed to the dashboard showing 

this car was sold new at one of Stearns-Knights most successful 

dealerships, Lynn C. Buxton’s in Los Angeles, California. A part 

of the collection for a number of years this represents a rare 

chance to get a vehicle of historic proportions and good looks 

all rolled into one.

1923 Ford “T‑Bucket” Roadster 

Street Rod 

300 HP (est.), 350 cid Chevrolet Overhead Valve V-8 

Engine, Automatic Transmission 

VIN: AZ240886 (Arizona Assigned Number) 

To make the perfect street rod, one has to have the right 

ingredients. This little T-bucket seems to have them all 

starting with a small-block Chevy V-8 topped off with an 

Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold on top of which is a 

Weber four-barrel carburetor. Backed by a Turbo-Hydramatic 

transmission, anyone can hit the road to adventure with 

this coolest of cool cars. Finished in bright yellow with 

tan pleated leather seats, it has been done right. Up front 

the brass Ford radiator topped off with a brass winged 

Moto-Meter garners plenty of attention and check out 

Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s iconic Rat Fink. 

A full complement of Stewart-Warner gauges grace the 

hand-crafted wooden dashboard as does a Kenwood stereo 

with its speakers mounted on the lower recesses of the 

dash. A set of aluminum Weld Wheels grace this rod with 

165R15/865 tires up front and wide 31” x 16.50 Mickey 

Thompson Sportsman tires to the rear. Power assisted disc 

brakes up front with drums to the rear help slow down 

this car and its steering is said to be quick and responsive. 

There is a lot of difference in the quality, construction and 

eye-appeal of street rods and we think this one has all the 

right stuff rolled into one big ball of fun. 

Lot No. 25 

1924 Chevrolet Superior Series F 

two-Door Coupe 

26 HP, 171 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 4-Cylinder 



While Ford’s Model T might have been the best selling car 

in the world, a strong contender was coming up that offered 

a who lot more for not that much more money. Chevrolet 

offered as standard equipment such “extras” found on other 

cars as electric horn, speedometer, ammeter, oil pressure 

gauge, lighted dashboard, an ignition theft lock and for 

closed cars, window regulators, outside visor, plate glass and 

door locks. 

This wonderful example of Chevrolet superior automobile 

is fitted with its original engine with the exposed push-rods, 

all of the factory equipment, plus whitewall tires and 

running board mounted cast aluminum step-plates from 

the original dealership. It appears to have been given a 

cosmetic restoration a number of years ago but displays well 

with it black exterior finish and gray-stripe cloth seats. As a 

bonus, two period aftermarket items are included such as a 

genuine Clymer Spot light mounted in the windshield, and 

an original Chevrolet logo Moto Meter radiator ornament. 

Chevrolet’s didn’t survive in the same numbers of the rival 

Model T, but those that have are always welcomed at vintage 

car events wherever you go in the world, and with a little 

care and patience, this car will take you there in style.

1925 Buick Master Six Four-Door 

Brougham Sedan by Fisher 

70 HP, 255 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 



While Cadillac was the top shelf brand in the General Motors line 

up, Buick was not far behind in quality, design and power. Buick 

pioneered the “valve in head” design and this produced more 

power than most other engines. Among the many improvements 

this year was a new dropped forge I beam front axle and stronger 

ball thrust bearings on the knuckles. Buick stepped up its game a bit 

this year with making the Brougham sedan even more inviting. 

This outstanding example is finished in Olive Green with gloss 

black fenders and window frames, the interior of this car is simply 

stunning. Done in rich shades of Kelly green luxurious fabric, it is 

well appointed with matching pull-down privacy shades for the 

back glass and oval quarter windows plus a bud vase to help make 

your drives ever more refreshing. The restored wooden steering 

wheel compliments the front seat area with the dashboard holding 

the multi gauge units including the floating speedometer and 

odometer that currently shows just under 39,100 miles. The exterior 

of the car is just as inviting with its chrome plated radiator grille 

fitted with a Buick logo Moto Meter, to the massive bumpers to the 

front and rear. At the back of the car, is an original Buick factory 

supplied detachable trunk, and a pair of spare tires on demountable 

rims. One of the favorites in the collection, you will be impressed 

when you meet this Buick in person.

1925 Dodge Series 116 


35 HP, 212 cid, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Motor, 


Chassis No. A288601; Engine No. A360157 

The Dodge Brothers made their first fortune in the auto industry 

supplying engine castings and other parts for the Ford Motor 

Company. In 1914 they launched their own brand of automobile 

and by 1920 had moved up to second place in sales with only the 

Ford Model T out selling them. By 1925, both brothers had passed 

away and those running the popular carmaker seemed to have lost 

interest in coming up with new models. Regardless, that season they 

managed to hold on to third in overall sales before ending up as part 

of the Chrysler Corporation in the late 1920’s. 

This attractive sedan was sturdy, dependable and one of just over 

200,000 units produced that year. Improvements seen this year were 

balloon tires all around, silichrome exhaust valves and rubber motor 

mounts to reduce noise and vibration. This basic five passenger 

sedan was popular that year and had an original list price of $1,245, 

delivered at the factory in Detroit. It has been given a complete 

cosmetic restoration and reported to have been exercised in recent 

months. Wearing the optional Budd Michelin steel disc wheels it has 

retained its original exterior sun visor and atop the radiator is an 

original Dodge logo Moto Meter ornament. The dashboard contain 

the ammeter, oil pressure gauge and speedometer/odometer which 

currently shows 2,927 miles, which is believed to have been clocked 

since its restoration. A great example of solid built beauty, this is one 

Dodge you will want in your garage. 

Lot No. 28 

1927 La Salle Series 303 

two-Door Roadster 

75 HP, 303 cid, L-Head V-8 Engine, 



By the late 1920’s, General Motors had grown into the largest 

automotive company in the world. An idea had been floated 

that more names would make a larger market appeal so it was 

decided that each of the major GM brands, with the exception of 

Chevrolet, would now have a partner. Oakland received the Pontiac, 

Oldsmobile the Viking, Buick the Marquette and Cadillac got a 

lower priced companion, La Salle. While the La Salle cost a bit less 

than the senior car, it was no slouch when it came to performance 

and beauty. GM’s new Vice President of Style and Color, 

Harley Earl, had taken the design of the La Salle as his hallmark 

project and the results were stunning. 

This roadster (body style 1169) was produced for La Salle by the 

Fisher Body Division. It was one of the least expensive, and most 

popular models for the marque’s first season offered with a base 

price of $2,525. This sharp roadster appears to have been given a full 

restoration a number of years ago but could use some freshening 

before it goes back out on the road. It is a well appointed sporty 

car for its time with dual side mount spare tires and a rumble 

seat, complete with a access door for storing golf clubs or a picnic 

basket. Finished in a tasteful burgundy for the body and gloss black 

for the fenders, the wire spoke wheels are done in a light yellow. 

Considered a “full classic” by the Classic Car Club of America, 

this would be an excellent vehicle for touring or to attend local 

gatherings. As a bonus, this roadster is even fitted with the very 

desirable radiator mascot depicting the intrepid explorer with 

his hat in his hand beckoning all to take to the road.

1928 Pierce Arrow Model 81 two-Door Convertible Coupe 

75 HP, 288.5 cid, L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 8105291 

For many years the Pierce-Arrow was considered the most prestigious automobile made in America. Its quality of 

construction was without fault, its designs and bodywork were legendary, and its reputation among the most elite in 

America was unequalled. To many observers looking back, Pierce-Arrow had it all except a viable plan for the future. In a 

world where luxury cars had moved on beyond a six-cylinder power plant, Pierce held on to its tried and true work-horse. 

The same could be said also about its in-house coach design. By 1928, most of their body styles were rather dated, but they 

still had an elegant motorcar. During this calendar year a total of just 5,736 would be produced and as sales continued to 

slump, a merger with the Studebaker Corporation was under-taken. 

This stately convertible coupe was one of the more popular body styles and this body is finished in light tan with burgundy 

highlights and gloss black fenders. Saddle leather was used for the seating surfaces and a tan soft top is accented by 

operational landau bars. Featuring Pierce Arrow’s patented mounting of the headlights atop both front fenders there is no 

mistaking this car for other models. With a large built-in rear trunk there is plenty of safe and secure storage as its locks are 

completely functional. The huge wood-spoke wheel are shod with a set of vintage Denman “Rib Type” 6.00” x 20” white 

sidewall tires. Most important for this marque is having the proper mascot atop the radiator cap and this example meets that 

requirement as the Archer pulls his bow back ready to launch his arrow right on target. When you come to bid on 

this car, the new owner will be as happy as the archer hitting a bulls-eye.

1928 Ford Model A Fordor Sedan 

by Briggs 

40 HP, 200.5 cid, L-Head In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 


Engine No. A416955 

After the long run of the Model T, Henry Ford was a bit 

reluctant to bring out another car, but when his Model A hit 

the showroom floors in late 1927, it appeared that he had 

scored a winner. Ford realized that despite his company’s 

vast resources and facilities, that it might be more expedient 

and economical to field some components of the 

Model A to outside firms. It was decided that the Briggs 

Body Company would build the bodies for the new Fordor 

sedan. Distinctive because of their fabric covered tops and 

blind quarter panels, according to one source a total of 

82,349 Model A’s carried this body in its initial model year. 

This example appears to have been given a fairly complete 

restoration a number of years and ago and has been a part 

of the museum for at least 20 years. The body in a shade 

similar to Manila Brown the fenders are complimented 

in a deeper brown while the wire wheels are done in a 

color similar to English Coach Vermillion. Fitted with dual 

side-mount spare tires and the Quail hood ornament, it 

looks like it would take just a little effort to make this grand 

old car ready for the road. In recent months there has been a 

renewed interest in these cars and it is examples like Briggs 

sedan that let people see why they were so popular 

when new.

1929 Cadillac Model 341B 4-Door Sport Phaeton by Fisher 

95 HP, 341 cid, L-Head V-8 Engine, 3-Speed Transmission · Engine No. 324790 


In 1929 Harley Earl’s influence grew within the halls of General Motors and Cadillac seems to benefit most due to his innovative designs 

such as fuller fenders, and for the first time, an adjustable front seat. Safety features including a totally redesigned braking system, 

strengthening of the frame and better riding Delco shock absorbers. This outstanding example of a Phaeton created by Fisher on the 140” 

wheelbase is just such an example known as body style 1183, this car carries body number 106, has been treated to a full professional 

restoration and is ready for the road or with some minor detailing for star billing on the show circuits. 

Finished with a tan body, accented by medium green highlights and fenders, it is stunning. The interior is a pleasing dark green leather, 

while the wire spoke wheels are a light yellow and wear Lester reproduction wide whitewall tires. The top is tan canvas with all the 

mechanisms working properly to lower and raise to present a smooth snug fitting appearance. In addition to the dual side mount spares 

with strap on rear view mirrors and side vent wings, are a functioning pair of Pilot Ray driving lights that operate with the steering gear, 

lighting your path safely for night travel. In the late 1920’s, Cadillac’s were the cars that only the wealthy could afford. Just a little over 

18,000 were produced for the 1929 model year and finding an example as appealing at this Phaeton is a rare opportunity. Recognized by 

the Classic Car Club of America as a Full Classic, and a very important part of the Cadillac La Salle Club, the new owner of this 

Model 341 will be welcomed wherever they wish to go.

1930 Dodge Series DC Four-Door 

touring Car 



Engine No. DC24467; Body No. DC223-P 

A new direction was taken by Dodge come 1930, with the 

introduction of the marque’s first 8-cylinder engine. Using 

a conventional L-head design, this new engine delivered 

25% more horsepower than the slightly smaller six. Despite 

a worsening economy in America this year, Dodge still 

managed to produce over 25,000 cars with this new larger 

power plant. Finished in Robin’s Egg Blue with Navy Blue 

fenders it is complimented with a red interior done in what 

appears to be leather, with a tight fitting top. 

By 1930, the idea of open cars was starting to lose its appeal 

as coupes and sedans became more affordable. Extras found 

on this car include dual side-mount spare tires, front grille 

guard, glass vent wings, and to the rear of the car an original 

trunk rack. This is a car that really deserves a second look. 

When you do take a moment to inspect this car you see how 

the design motif of the headlights is reflected in the cowl 

light and even the dashboard mounted instrument cluster. 

This is a very handsome, rarely seen open car, that after a 

good detailing could be ready for local shows or the hit of 

the parade at a Dodge or MOPAR event. A decent car with 

lots of potential, it is an important benchmark for 

this marque.

Under development at the same time was what would become one of the most famous 

Cadillac engines of all time the Model 452 V-16, and Earl decided that only the finest motors 

and chassis would carry the Madame X designs. Unfortunately, in the Fall of 1929, just as 

Cadillac was preparing to introduce this stunning new model, America’s economy was 

heading into a tailspin towards what would become the Great Depression. The effect on 

the auto industry, luxury cars in particular, would mean that the beautiful V-16 engine and 

the bodies designed for those chassis, would not see the sales that had been hoped for. As a 

result, those that were produced and have survived are today considered works of art and 

are highly sought after, especially those that carry beautiful coachwork from the Fleetwood 

shops, like this outstanding Madame X coupe. 

This outstanding example sports a full professional level restoration that makes it ready for 

show or even Concours competition. Finished in Burgundy with Vermillion Red highlights 

and fenders, the interior is done in burgundy leather that is inviting and luxurious. As 

could be expected, this car is loaded with all the extras of the day starting with the enclosed 

dual side-mount spare tires, each of which is topped with a Cadillac logo rear-view mirror. 

To the rear on the fold-down rack is a custom built trunk that blends with the design and 

era of the car. This is a rumble-seat coupe and to remind those passengers they were riding 

in the Cadillac, the seat is large and comfortable, with folding arm rests which makes the 

ride a little more pleasant. To communicate with the back seat passengers, the rear glass

been placed on the side of the car. Up front is an accessory grille-guard, dual chrome

Looking inside the passenger cabin you will see the outstanding woodwork and 

detailing that makes this a quality car far above a regular production model, and this 

Fleetwood coupe also has full instrumentation of which all the gauges have been 

restored back to their original design and beauty. During the development of the V-16 

engine, Harley Earl declared that if a car was to carry his masterpieces, the engines 

must be as beautifully styled as the bodywork, and this engine shows off those features 

with the sleek valve covers and the beautiful glossy black enamel manifolds looking 

just as they had when new. 

This “Madame X” coupe is one of the most sought after Cadillac V-16 models produced, 

and with its mystique and very attractive design combined with this outstanding 

engine, it would become the star of any collection where only the finest motorcars are 

found. As a side note, eventually the play “Madam X” was made into a movie with 

Lana Turner in the starring role. Set in the early 1930’s, one of the co-stars was a 

Cadillac V-16.

1930 Cadillac Series 353 two-Door 

Convertible Coupe by Fisher 

96 HP, 353 cid, L-Head V-8 Engine, 3-Speed Transmission 

Engine No. 509146; Body No. 496 

As the depression started to take hold, luxury carmakers were 

hit hard early on. Despite bigger displacements and more power, 

production for Cadillac dropped rather dramatically with just 11,005 

V-8 equipped cars produced that model year. While Fleetwood 

coachwork was reserved for custom orders, Fisher was geared up 

to produce the highest quality production bodies in the industry. 

Referred to as body style 30168, this was a full-size convertible that 

could accommodate two passengers up front and another couple in 

the fold-up rumble seat. Finished in gloss black it features apple green 

wire spoke wheels mounted with wide whitewall tires. The seating 

surfaces are covered in leather colored to complement the wheels 

and the rumble-seat even features arm-rests to make the ride a bit 

more comfortable. Other amenities of the day include a side door for 

golf clubs or picnic basket, dual side-mount spare tires with strap-on 

rear-view mirrors and on the folding rear rack with a large trunk 

mounted, ready to carry whatever would be needed for an extended 

road trip. Also found on this car is a chrome grille guard and on the 

radiator the flowing hair goddess proudly stands ready for the road. 

Recognized by the Classic Car Club of America, this model is very 

desirable for touring with the ability to roll up the side glass in the 

doors for quiet comfort, or to roll with the top down for that “wind 

in your hair” experience. This car is sporting an older cosmetic 

restoration and would benefit greatly from a freshening, but even as it 

sits today, this is a rather attractive and very popular body style. 



Lot No. 35 

1931 Chevrolet Independence 

Series AE two-Door Coach 

50 HP, 194 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 


Chassis No. 569137; Engine No. 2318874; Body No. 4854 

By 1931, Chevrolet was taking a sales lead against all competition 

including the Ford Model A. With its advanced in-line six, better 

brakes and electrical systems and smart styling there was no shame 

in owning a Chevy. General Motors had established itself not only 

in the USA, but also in Canada, where this smart 2-door sedan, 

often referred to as a “coach”, was produced. Given a high quality 

restoration a number of years ago, this is a rather pure-stock car 

finished in a medium tan with gloss black fenders and wire-spoke 

wheels in a light yellow on which are mounted a fairly fresh looking 

set of wide whitewall tires. 

Extras found on this car include a chrome grille guard, a large trunk 

mounted to the rear fold down rack, side mount spare tires and 

rear view mirrors attached to the doors. The interior of this car is 

fitted with a full complement of factory gauges and a period hot 

water heater mounted under the dash. Covered in brown mohair 

are the two front bucket type front seats which can be raised to 

allow passengers access to the rear seat. One of the most interesting 

items we spotted on this car is the gear shift knob which appears 

to be a clear plastic orb with a vintage miniature Chevrolet grille 

badge placed inside on a green base. As with a number of cars in the 

collection, this vintage Chevy looks like it is a complete vehicle that 

needs just a bit of TLC to make it road worthy. This is a very unique 

opportunity to own a very important piece of automotive history.

1931 Packard Standard Eight Series 833 


100 HP, 319 cid, L-Head In-Line 8-Cylinder Engine, 

4-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 321282 

1931 saw a number of mechanical improvements including the first 

use of a Stewart-Warner fuel pump and a vacuum operated Bijur 

lubricating system. Smaller wheels were also used to give the cars a 

lower profile view and smart new body designs continued to bring 

the tradition of only the finest coachwork being found on a Packard. 

Purchased new by a prominent doctor in San Antonio, Texas, this 

is a rather attractive rumble-seat coupe. A number of years ago it 

was restored and subsequently was awarded a National First by the 

AACA, and has won many admiring smiles along the way. 

This coupe is loaded with amenities including dual side mount spare 

tires protected by chrome plated bands with rear view mirrors on 

top, dual Pilot Ray driving lights, a chrome plated radiator guard, 

the “Sliding Boy” chrome mascot and a very unique monogram plate 

cast in the shape of the radiator grille and mounted to the headlight 

cross beam support rod. Mounted to the rear fold down rack is a full 

size trunk that is protected with a heavy zippered storage bag, a side 

access door to the rear compartment and the original cast aluminum 

steps leading to the rumbleseat. Finished it light tan with dark brown 

fenders and body highlights, the interior of this car is just as elegant. 

Seats are covered in tan broadcloth with dark brown piping and in the 

dash is a full complement of gauges including a Jaeger stem wound 

clock and the speed-o-meter and odometer which shows just 2,545 

miles, believed to have been logged since this beauty was restored. 

This is a car that is recognized by such groups as the CCCA and all the 

major Packard organizations. If you are the high bidder, there 

you will be recognized as a person with an eye for beauty.

1933 DeSoto Series SD Deluxe 




Engine No. SD5119; Body No. SO-1345-DL 

Taking a cue from General Motors in naming their cars after great 

explorers, the Chrysler Corporation had introduced the new DeSoto 

line for the 1929 model year. Placed market wise between the 

Dodge and Chrysler lines it was fairly successful early on. For 1933 

continued improvements to these car was seen with a double drop 

“X” frame, new Floating Power engine mounts and a new Automatic 

Vacuum Clutch. But something else DeSoto had that many cars 

seemed lacking in this price range was pure style. With full, more 

stream lined looks, these cars were distinctive. Never shy about the 

use of chrome, the SD series was more lavish than ever. But 1933 was 

the height of the depression and new car sales were at their lowest 

since the early 1920’s, with just 22,736 units produced that year. 

Most popular in the lineup was the Deluxe 4-door sedan with 8,133 

examples being produced. 

This is an extremely well appointed car with a rare original radio, 

recirculating hot water heater, enclosed dual side mount spare tires 

and wide whitewall tires. With all four doors hinged to the rears, it 

allows limousine like ease when entering and exiting. It appears to 

have had a fairly extensive cosmetic restoration a number of years 

ago and a little freshening would make this car a real head turner. 

Several design features that should not be over looked include the 

unique headlights, exclusive to the Deluxe line, plus the dashboard 

with its ornate gauge package. This DeSoto is a favorite in the 

collection and it will be a favorite in yours.

1933 Plymouth Series PC 




Chassis No. 1770551; Engine No. PC13574 

Even though Plymouth had been on the market for a 

relatively short period of time, it had gained a reputation for 

reliability and stamina. For years there has been conjecture 

as to how W. P. Chrysler ended up using the Plymouth 

name, either to salute the pioneer efforts of those hearty 

Pilgrims who had landed at Plymouth Rock, or in honor of 

the leading brand of barb-wire at the time. Regardless, it was 

a marketing success that competed with Ford, Chevrolet, 

Essex and other entry-level cars of the day. 

This wonderful 4-door sedan features reversed hinged doors 

and is finished with a Washington Blue body and gloss 

black fenders, while the wire spoke wheels are done in a 

complimenting shade of light yellow. Restored a number 

of years back it comes from a period of time when America 

was down on its luck, when new cars sales were in a slump. 

But Plymouth did quite well with 33,815 copies of this 

model coming off the assembly lines. A very solid car it is 

equipped with a very rare period radio with the control head 

mounted near the steering column, and privacy shade for 

the rear quarter windows and back glass. With an enclosed 

rear-mounted spare tire, this Plymouth shows style and 

functionality and would make a great addition for any 

collection of fine automobiles.

1934 Ford Model 40 Deluxe 



3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 18-1134528 

Starting in 1932, Ford had become the first car in the low-priced field 

to market a successful V-8 engine. While some of those first cars had 

a few bugs to be worked out, this little motor was legendary with 

its performance abilities. Despite being in the throes of the Great 

Depression, Ford was still making a profit and making cars. One of 

the most notorious of bad guys, Clyde Barrow, who with his girlfriend 

Bonnie Parker, had robbed a number of banks across the country, even 

wrote to Henry Ford and congratulated him on such a fine car stating, 

“For sustained speed and freedom from trouble, Ford has got every other car 

skinned”. Ironically it was a duplicate to this Cordoba Gray sedan that 

this dangerous couple would meet their fate in an ambush less than six 

weeks after this letter had been postmarked. 

This beautiful example of one of the most attractive Fords has seen 

a full restoration and was awarded an AACA national first prize 

award in 1989. Powered by Henry’s legendary “flathead” V-8, since 

its restoration. Equipped with a pair of chrome horns a built in 

rear trunk and enclosed rear mounted spare tire, with only a minor 

amount of attention it could be ready to hit the road. Despite its brown 

appearance, Ford called this color Cordoba Gray, and the interior 

is done in light tan mohair with simulated wood graining on the 

dashboard and garnish moldings. An outstanding example of one of 

Henry’s greatest cars, with over 102,000 copies produced, this 1934 

Ford needs to be in your collection. 



No other car ever produced in America can match the legends that surround the Duesenberg. 

Simply put, there was never a car like it before or since. For years historians have debated on the 

actual number of Model J Duesenbergs produced, with one expert, Marshall Merkes, 472 chassis 

were actually produced, while another expert, Randy Ema says that about 480. Both of these astute 

scholars are probably correct, as it wasn’t unusual for the factory to bring a chassis back to the 

Indianapolis shops and retrofit it with a different engine or even coachwork, thus giving the illusion 

of more cars being produced than chassis. Regardless, they were the best of everything. 

Starting at $8,500 when introduced, and going up to $9,500 after 1932, all you really bought from 

Duesenberg was the frame, engine, drive train, suspension, brake system, steering, a firewall and 

dashboard with instrumentation. You also received front fenders, a hood and a radiator with its 

distinctive shell, all tastefully designed by Gordon Buehrig. After the purchase of this spectacular 

chassis, the customer had to then decide on what body to order and from which coachbuilder would 

supply it. 


Lot No. 40 

1934 Duesenberg Model SJ Four-Door Phaeton 

in the style of Derham 

320 HP, 420 cid, Dual Overhead Cam, In-Line 8-Cylinder Engine 

with Centrifugal Supercharged and Twin Up-Draft Carburetors, 


Chassis No. 2394; Engine No. J375 

When chassis 2394, a long wheelbase version, left the Indianapolis factory, it had mounted on it 

engine J375, supercharged from the factory and just as it is presented today. Over the years it wasn’t 

unusual for engines to have been switched or worse yet, lost to history. This chassis was sent to the 

Willoughby shops where a Berline sedan was installed. At one point it was believed to have had a 

Le Baron convertible sedan body attached to it, but this has never been confirmed. In the 1980’s the 

custom crafted phaeton body that is currently on the chassis today. 

With its trademark grille, headlights, hood and distinctive radiator mascot, also designed by 

Buehrig, this is an impressive car. Finished in light yellow with gloss black highlights and fenders, 

it presents the subtle beauty of less is more. Wearing its dual side mounted spare tires, a full set of 

Buffalo chrome wire wheels and wide white tires, it is sure to be a crowd pleaser wherever it goes. 

From the engine turned dashboard to the dual Pilot Ray driving lights this car exudes elegance in 

motoring and demands respect from all who own or drive this remarkable machine. 

In the world of Duesenbergs to find an SJ model is rare. To find one that is still with its original 

chassis and even more special. To find one that has been restored to such exacting standards and 

presented in such as attractive package, it could be a once in a lifetime experience, and one that 

should not be passed up.

1935 Ford Model 48 

two-Door 5-Window Coupe 



Chassis No. 18-2044063 

Subtle improvements were the way at Ford during the 

1930’s, but the difference between 1934 and 1935 were 

significant. Advertised as having “Greater Beauty, Greater 

Comfort, Greater Safety”, the new body design was touted 

as offering better protection for the occupants, but Ford 

still retained their mechanical brake operation. Styling 

was important and this year Ford was to regain its market 

leadership by out-selling rival Chevrolet. One of the biggest 

events for Ford this year was the honor of pacing the 

Indianapolis 500 race. 

This smart little coupe is finished in gloss black with red 

wire spoke wheels that wear 8.00” x 16” tires. The interior 

is upholstered in tan mohair and there are a few accessories 

on this car. Bumper mounted fog lights start the show, with 

the enclosed rear mounted spare tire. The trunk is absolutely 

huge, just about big enough to hide an elephant. This coupe 

appears to have been given a cosmetic restoration a while 

but there is some patina of age found on some of the bright 

work and even the carpeting on the passenger cabin. One of 

the most sought after early V-8 Fords, this little coupe would 

look great in the collection of any fans of this marque.

Four-Door Convertible Sedan 

95+ HP, 239 cid, L-Head V-8 Engine, 

3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 99A1676225 

One of Edsel Ford’s dreams was to have a complete set of 

“stepping stones” for customers who wanted to move up the 

ladder from a basic Ford to the luxurious Lincolns. In 1936 he 

had launched a lower priced Lincoln called Zephyr which helped 

fill part of the gap and in 1939, under his direction Ford Motor 

Company placed the Mercury on sale. While its styling closely 

resembled that of Ford’s passenger cars, absolutely nothing 

body wise was shared. For its second year a limited number of 

convertible sedans were produced. Rumor was that these had 

been ordered for installation on the Lincoln Zephyr, and after that 

program was scrapped, the bodies were offered to Mercury as a 

prestige model. Just 979 would be produced making it by far the 

rarest model in that year’s offering. 

Finished in a deep rich Burgundy on the exterior, with dark 

Saddle brown seat covers and door panels while the dashboard 

plus garnish molding is done in a light bluish gray color scheme. 

Extras include vintage fog lights and a rare front bumper guard, 

bumper tips, and wide whitewall tires accented by bright trim 

rings and hubcaps. The big news on this rare car is what is under 

the hood. Vintage speed equipment had been applied to the 

original flathead V-8 including Weiand heads and intake manifold 

which is teamed up with a trio of Stromberg 97 carburetors. The 

electrical system has been up graded to 12 volts for easier starting 

and stronger light for evening drives. A rather interesting car to 

be sure, can you really remember one of these was offered 

at auction.

1941 Ford Super Deluxe 

two-Door Club Coupe 



Chassis No. 18-6695564 

Completely new sheet metal graced the 1941 Fords, which 

were now offered in three trim levels or series, Standard, 

Deluxe and Super Deluxe. The Club Coupe was a popular 

model with 10,796 copies produced this year and with a base 

price of $800 even. One of the highlights this year was the 

production of the 29-millionth Ford on April 29, 1941. 

This attractive car appears to have been painted Florentine 

Blue and is trimmed tan stripe cloth. The interior of this car 

looks show-room fresh with all dashboard plastics in their 

original ivory set against the simulated wood-grain dashboard. 

Accessories include original radio, recirculating hot-water 

heater, and a clock. Among other options on this car are fog 

lights, driver’s spot light, wheel trim rings, plus bumper 

wings and front center guard. Restored a number of years 

ago, this Ford looks like it is ready to hit the road for another 

memorable trip.

When Ford unveiled its new designs for the 1941 model 

year, they offered a full complement of body styles from 

sedans to coupes and even a convertible. Only the station 

wagons were more expensive with a base price of $950 

delivered at the factory, but despite the high price 30,240 

copies were produced. 

This attractive convertible was treated to a full restoration 

a few years back and features the later production 

wrap-around trim that adorns both the front and rear 

fenders. This is a well-equipped car with bumper wings 

and guards on both front and back, fog lights, dual spot 

lights and even a rear exhaust deflector. Passenger comfort 

isn’t overlooked the standard clock in the dash plus Deluse 

radio and recirculating water heater. Finished in Florentine 

Blue, it features Navy Blue leather seating surfaces and a tan 

canvas folding top and top bows painted body color. This 

new for ‘41 design was a winner with a high production 

rate. However, time has taken its toll, and few of these cars 

remain in this attractive stock configuration.

Convertible Coupe 

125 HP, 248 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 8-Cylinder Car, 


Chassis No. 14029I20; Engine No. 66438104 

Pre-war Buicks were really a cut above most of the competition 

with stunning good looks, high performance engines and a 

reputation for quality and endurance. America was starting 

to prosper in 1941 as the nation’s economy began to pick up, 

higher-end car sales enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. With a 

base price of $1,267, a total of 12,181 Super convertible coupes 

were produced by Buick that model year. Making this Fireball 

Dynaflash engine hum is a dual carburetor set-up that even 

includes the very hard to find bat-wing oil bath air cleaner. 

This Buick is exercised on a regular basis and during our 

inspection it started right up and appeared to be in excellent 

tune. It currently is showing just 136 miles on the odometer, 

which is believed to be since the restoration was completed. 

Finished in Royal Maroon with saddle brown leather seats and 

a tan canvas top, it presents an imposing view with its massive 

chrome grilles as well as its attractive styling bestowed on 

this line by Harley Earl’s design team. This well appointed 

car is fitted with a factory radio, heater-defroster plus a clock 

mounted in the glove box door. Other items include a driver’s 

side spot light, fog lights with Buick logos, and bright metal 

trim wings for the wheels. We did notice some minor patina 

issues in some areas of bright trim, but this is such a pretty car, 

a little blemish will probably go unnoticed.

Even before WW II had ended in the Pacific theater, the 

OK to resume the building of civilian cars was given to 

auto makers, but in limited quantities. Rushing to get 

into production, Ford beat the competition in getting the 

victorious 1946 post-war season moving. It was a car-hungry 

public that was waiting with money in hand to buy the latest 

and greatest, which in effect were 1942 models with revised 

trim. The convertible coupe, available only in Super Deluxe 

trim and with the V-8, was priced at $1,488, and saw a total 

of 16,359 copies in that 

first season. 

This is one of those special first edition post war convertibles, 

which has been treated to a full restoration. Finished in a 

deep shade called Dynamic Maroon, this car is just pretty 

from every angle. The interior is done in a pleasant gray 

motif , which is carried to the dashboard plastic, and a tight 

fitting tan top. This car apparently escaped the dealership 

without being weighed down by useless accessories, but it 

does have a dash mounted radio, clock in the instrument 

panel and fresh air recirculating hot water heater. Aside 

from its handsome good looks, the only noticeable options 

included a front bumper guard, bright metal trim rings for 

the wheels and whitewall tires. Ford remains a popular make 

among new car buyers some 66 years ago, and today, the 

smart collectors are sure to fall in love with this 

beauty’s design and should not be missed.

1946 Plymouth Special Deluxe 





Like most automakers of the era, Dodge brushed off the 

tooling from their 1942 models, did a quick revision of the 

trim and got back into civilian production to feed a 

car-hungry public. Dodge was one of the most respected 

names in the industry and the first 1946 models were 

snapped up as fast as they came off the assembly line. 

This example is a work-in-progress. Despite its current 

presentation, this appears to be a very solid body and we 

have been told that its original engine runs out quite well. 

We have been told that all of the trim parts are included and 

during our inspection we noted some new materials waiting 

for installation such as new weather stripping. The odometer 

shows just under 72,600 miles which may be from new. 

There has been some minor bodywork but no signs of rust 

out or major damage. She is an interesting project and being 

offered at no reserve.

1947 Studebaker Champion 

“Starlight” Coupe 




After the end of the WWII, it wasn’t only a race to see who 

could get into production first, but it was also a challenge 

to see who could come out with a completely new post-war 

design. Among the major established carmakers, those 

honors went to Studebaker. With rather unique styling 

created by the design talents with Raymond Loewy’s 

studio, the 1947 line-up of Studebakers was smart looking 

and cutting-edge modern. One of the most interesting 

innovations in this new line-up were the Starlight coupes. 

This example, finished in dark red metallic with a custom 

interior using black houndstooth fabric with heavy white 

vinyl bolsters, is as modern as they get. Its options list was 

typical for the day, radio, heater-defroster and clock, plus 

accessory driving lights. With its unique wrap-around 

backlight, the Starlight coupes have become a very 

desirable body style for both Studebaker and contemporary 

enthusiasts alike. While this car is quite presentable in its 

current condition, a deep detailing and a little tune-up 

would go to help make this car all that much better for its 

new owner.

In recent years unrestored, well-preserved vehicles sometimes 

called “survivors” has really started to catch on with collectors 

and by organizers of major shows. This remarkable 1948 Ford is 

just such an example, a true survivor. Showing just 21,556 miles 

from new, a close inspection of this car will show it has never 

been restored, with all the factory bodywork in place. While 

portions of its original Dynamic Maroon paint have worn through 

due to over-protective polishing and waxing, there is no sign of 

any touch-up or bodywork ever having been performed. Most 

remarkable on this car is the interior, which is as near showroom 

fresh as possible. Its gray-stripe cloth is still tight and snug with 

no sags in the springs, the original material on the door panels 

show virtually no wear, and while there is some light soiling, it 

still represents how well these cars were assembled. The plastic on 

the dashboard shows no drying out or warping, which is common 

with these cars and the appointments include an original radio 

and clock, but the heater appears to be a period after-market 

add-on. 

Under the hood, is all original and one area of the car that would 

benefit from a sympathetic restoration or at least a touch up. 

For the restoration specialist and those who are interested in the 

authenticity of just how these cars were put together, this is a rare 

chance to purchase what we could best term as a “pattern” car, one 

that will set the standard others will want to meet.

1948 Packard 22nd Series Super Eight 

Victoria two-Door Convertible 


3-Speed Transmission · VIN: TBA 

For Packard, once among the greatest names in American luxury 

cars, had been on a long, tough road to come back to prosperity, 

with plenty of detours and pot-holes along the way. At the on-set 

of WW II, all new body styles and the stylish Clipper line looked 

promising, but with war production and National Defense a 

priority, passenger car production had to be placed on hold. 

Knowing there would be a desire for new products once peace was 

declared, designers at Packard worked on the next generation of 

automobiles. In August 1947, the first of the new 22nd Series were 

unveiled and the star of the show was the Victoria convertible. 

This stunning example shows just over 61,200 miles, which appears 

to be from new. Finished in Cavalier Maroon, with the interior 

decked out in long lasting matching vinyl and tan Bedford cloth, 

this was the ultimate in luxurious open car motoring when it was 

released. New features this year was the Robo Top, which would 

raise and lower at the touch of a button, as did the windows, 

controlled individually or from the driver’s master control. 

Providing a new easy to move, the Prest-O-Justable front seat 

allowed for the person behind the wheel to position themselves for 

maximum comfort. This example is also equipped with the optional 

push button radio as well as the heater defroster with Comfort 

Aire design. A fabulous example from a bygone era of hand crafted 

motorcars, this will make an elegant addition to the finest collection 

of vehicles.

1948 Chrysler Windsor-Highlander two-Door Convertible 

114 HP, 251 cid, L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Fluid Drive Transmission 


For the most part, materials used for interiors of standard production cars were kind of boring. That couldn’t be 

said about those Chrysler products that were outfitted with the Highlander trim. Bright colors in Scottish plaids 

were used to liven up the ride and cradle passengers in the most comfort available. With a base price of $2,424 

when new, dealers usually loaded these cars up with extras that could take the price quite a bit higher, and build up 

their profit margins. 

This Highlander convertible is finished in Gloss Black and has the red tartan cloth that made these cars so special. 

It was treated to a frame-off restoration a few years back and looks showroom fresh, ready for the show circuit or to 

be enjoyed on the road. Among the extras packed into this car is the push-button radio, heater-defroster and dash 

mounted clock. Also including are the under-dash courtesy lights, windshield washer system and a driver’s side 

spotlight. There was plenty of power in the Chrysler 6-cylinder engines, which did quite well with regular gas due 

to their Spitfire heads creation a 6.6:1 compression ratio. This vehicle is also equipped with the Chrysler’s exclusive 

Center Beam headlights. This is an outstanding example that would be a pleasure to drive and a treasure to own.

1948 Pontiac Silver-Streak 8 torpedo 

Deluxe Convertible Coupe 


Hydramatic Automatic Transmission 

Chassis No. P8PA17516 

Another favorite in the Burdick collection, this Pontiac 

convertible is a veteran of the Great American race and 

is currently set up with highly calibrated speedometers 

and a very accurate clock. Take away those items and you 

have a rather nice and rarely seen automobile. After WW 

II, Pontiac had dusted off its 1942 tooling and gotten back 

into production as quick as possible. Sales were strong but 

convertible production was a bit limited. 

This road ready drop-top is finished in a light yellow, which 

Pontiac marketed it as Frances Ivory, while the interior is 

quite attractive with a black and yellow theme. It is well 

appointed with extras such as turn signals, push-button 

radio, heater-defroster and dual spot lights. There are some 

upgrades found under the hood such as power steering. 

This car also has operational driving lights plus attractive 

trim rings to accent the hubcaps and whitewall tires. This 

convertible has seen some use and sports a couple of minor 

scratches in the finish, but the chrome work, and there is 

plenty of that, is bright and clear as are the windows and 

windshield. Pontiac promoted these cars by touting; “A fine 

car made finer”, and this attractive convertible is about as 

fine you as you could hope for.

1948 Kaiser Special 


100 HP, 226 cid, L-Head Continental In-Line 6-Cylinder 


VIN: TBD 

Despite being introduced as a brand new make of car in 

1947, for 1948 Kaiser promoted over two dozen changes from 

their first models. However, many of these changes were 

rather minor and only the most curious of sleuths could pick 

them out. One major change from the earlier cars was a new 

head design that brought the compression ratio up to 7.3:1 

from its original 6.8:1. Kaiser’s designs were innovative with 

slab-side bodies totally devoid of fender lines, doors that 

encompassed the entire height of the body, and construction 

was some of the best in the industry. 

This Buckeye Maroon sedan was treated to a frame-on 

restoration a number of years ago. The interior fabrics 

were replicated in a modern velour done in burgundy with 

silver-gray fabric on the door panels. It is equipped with a 

factory installed “Air Conditioner”, which for Kaiser meant 

heater-defroster rather than a cooling system. It appears 

this car was never equipped with a radio as the chrome 

plated blank-out plate is still in place. All of the original 

style plastic knobs and trim items have survived including 

the hard-to-find Kaiser-emblem door plates. This beauty is a 

little piece of American automotive history at 

your command. 

Lot No. 54 

1948 Lincoln Continental 



3-Speed Transmission · Chassis No. 8H175765 

Considered one of the most beautiful creations to ever come out 

of Ford Motor Company’s design studio, and a pet project of the 

company President, Edsel B. Ford, the Lincoln Continental is a 

hand-crafted masterpiece on wheels. One of the few post-war 

cars that is recognized and welcomed by the Classic Car Club of 

America, the basic architecture of this model has set the standard 

of what a luxury vehicle should be. 

This interesting example is one of 847 coupes produced which 

truly was the end of an era. Powered by the one of last production 

V-12 engines built in the USA, these cars were assembled on a 

special line at the Lincoln plant in Detroit, Michigan. This car 

appears to have been given a cosmetic restoration a number of 

years ago. Today it does show a patina of time and some wear 

and tear, but it is a solid and complete car. Fitted with the grille 

mounted fog lights, it has its original hood ornament, plus the 

vent window guards, both fender skirts and that trademark 

“Continental” rear mounted spare tire. It is also fitted with original 

radio, clock, heater and hydraulically operated power windows. 

We have been told that this is a turnkey ready to go car, but has 

been on display for a number of years so a bit of an awakening 

would be recommended. Considered a “classic” from the day it 

was new, this could be very a Continental moment for the new 

owner with plenty of admirers of the finest designs in automobiles. 


Lot No. 55 

1949 Diamond-t D201 1-ton 

Pick-Up truck 

91 HP, 237 cid, L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 4-Speed 

Transmission 

Chassis No. 2015376; Engine No. T746681 

Diamond-T headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was established 

in 1905, but did not produce until 1907. These were high quality 

passenger cars and were well respected. In 1911, a customer asked 

if Diamond T could produce a truck, so the founder, C. A. Tilt, set 

out to make that dream come true. So successful were his endeavors 

that from that time on, up into the early 1960’s, commercial vehicles 

would be their only products. The D201 was known as “The Cadillac 

of Trucks”, and its front end styling took several cues from several 

1930’s era models of America’s luxury car. Engines were supplied 

by Hercules, using the QXLD-5 version of this dependable flathead 

design which supplied plenty torque and reliable power. 

This truck appears to have been given a frame on restoration a 

number of years ago. Finished in red, as most were, it has a single 

bench seat in heavy duty saddle brown vinyl. We noticed a few small 

waves in some of the panels, to be expected with over 60 years of 

hard labor under its belt, and the engine compartment looks like 

it is ready to open for business. There are few extras, with a spare 

tire mounted to the right side of the pickup bed and the crank out 

windshield being two of its biggest features. This pickup is not meant 

for lightweights, it was rated at a full ton, but could probably carry a 

lot more if the need should arise. A very interesting example that is 

sought after and has a dedicated group of collectors, with this truck, 

you will that it is a jewel, far from being a diamond in the rough! 



Lot No. 56 

1950 Ford Custom two-Door Sedan 

100 HP, 239 cid, L-Head V-8 Engine, 


Chassis No. B0SP113171 

Many historians credit the design of the 1949 Ford as having 

saved Ford Motor Company from certain death. While it had 

been rushed into production and there were some flaws to iron 

out, it was a sales success and put Ford back on the path to 

prosperity. The following year the advertising touted that Ford 

was now “50 ways Finer in 1950”. There were a number of small 

changes such as revised parking lights, the use of a fuel-filler 

door to conceal the gas cap and one of the most important 

changes, the introduction of the famous Ford keystone logo. 

This popular sedan wearing its original color of Palisades Green, 

is a solid example that was produced at Ford’s Twin Cities plant 

in Minnesota. However, from the look of this car, it never had to 

put up with the rough winters or salted roads. While this Ford 

has had a re-spray, most of the rest of this sedan is as it left the 

factory. Even the hand-scrawled “rotation” number placed on the 

firewall during assembly, is still quite visible. Accessories were a 

big part of any sale in 1950, and this car had typical equipment 

for the day, Magic-Aire heater-defroster, push-button radio, 

and an oil-bath air cleaner under the hood. One extra probably 

added at a later date is a Ford embossed exhaust deflector. Fords 

produced from 1949 to 1951, are today known as the Shoebox era 

and have become quite collectible in recent years. Recognized by 

fans of the early (flathead) V-8’s as well as those who love cars of 

the 1950’s, this example is sure to turn heads. 

Lot No. 57 

1950 Ford F1 1/2-ton Pick-Up truck 

200 HP (Est), 302 cid Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 

3-Speed Automatic Transmission 

VIN: 97HC312985 

Considered the longest continuous series in motor vehicle 

history, Ford has been building trucks in their “F” series 

since the 1948 model year. Featuring both rock-solid 

performance and an ability to handle the toughest jobs, 

combined with stylish good looks, the F-series of trucks 

were winners when this truck was produced. 

Under the hood is a late model small block Ford, but the 

modifications go a lot further on this truck. Upgraded 

suspension and brakes make the ride swift and sure, while 

the visual changes are quite impressive. Up front the 

original grille has been detailed to blend in with the rest of 

the styling motif, while to the rear of the truck tail lights 

have been placed behind the metal bumper. The wood 

flooring of the pickup bed looks like it has lead a life of east 

and the truck is riding on a set of Panther 5-spoked chrome 

wheels. Another modification is the latching device to the 

tailgate which, has done away with those chains and “J” 

hooks originally supplied by Ford. Texas is pickup country 

and this F1 is sure to be a winner wherever it goes. 

Please Note: This vehicle carries non-conforming VIN 

placement. It is neither a manufacturer’s nor a state issued 

plate. It does have a state issued title. It may be subject to 

inspection and a state issued VIN bonding may be required, 

buyer assumes this responsibility. Dan Kruse Classics will 

be held harmless in this process.

1950 Packard Custom Eight 


300 HP (est.), 350 cid, Chevrolet Overhead Valve V-8 

Engines, Turbo Hydramatic Automatic Transmission 

VIN 2362529424 

About the best term for this sedan would have to be 

“Resto-Mod” From the exterior there is little to give away 

all the upgrades it has, which makes driving this car 

as comfortable as driving a brand new sedan. From its 

champagne metallic finish to the passenger cabin, which 

looks much like it had when new, there is little to give 

away that it has an up-to-date running gear and plenty of 

modern-day amenities. Under the hood is a crate-motor 

from General Motors, along with a power steering system, 

power brakes and an R134A air-conditioning system. With 

all electrics changed over to 12-volts, there are other benefits 

such as a concealed AM-FM radio/tape player that can keep 

you caught up with the latest news or play all the oldies 

your could ever wish to hear. 

The workmanship on this Packard is at the same professional 

level this car received when it was new. From the cormorant 

hood ornament to the family crest done in multi-color 

cloisonné enamel, none of the respect this marque had when 

new has been lost. She is turn-key ready to hit the road, and 

leave on a cross-country trip in true elegance and style. 


Lot No. 59 

1951 Dodge Wayfarer Sportabout 




VIN: 37149919 

Nothing could have been much more fun that driving a 

little convertible coupe in the early 1950’s and this Dodge 

Wayfarer would have fit the bill perfectly. When this series 

had been introduced the previous season, the open car was a 

true roadster in that it had no roll-up windows in the doors. 

While this might have been a sporty touch for the hearty 

motorists, Americans were a bit more comfort conscious, so 

the 1951 edition did have real glass windows that helped 

keep the elements at bay. Base price for this car was $1,884, 

which was a few dollars less that the entry-level 2-door 

sedan. Still, just 1,002 of these Sportabouts were produced 

for the 1951 model year making it the rarest model 

by production. 

This example appears to be a mostly original car finished in 

its original Sea Mist Green with complimenting burgundy 

heavy-duty vinyl for the seats and tan fabric to the top. 

As with all Dodge passenger cars this season it has full 

instrumentation plus optional push button radio and a 

heater-defroster unit. Under the hood is complete but is 

basically un-restored. With so few of these cars produced, 

it is a rare opportunity to find one for sale anywhere in the 

world. Before the world of compacts, this was economy 

motoring in its day and sure to be smile winning 

motoring today. 

Lot No. 60 

1951 Pontiac “La Bamba” 

Streamliner two-Door Sedan 

375 HP, 472 cid Cadillac Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 

Turbo Hydramatic Automatic Transmission 

VIN: P6US19351 

Without a doubt, this Pontiac is the wildest car to ever be 

a part of the Burdick collection. This is really a remarkable 

piece of rolling artwork from the sculpted bodywork 

including the Frenched headlights to the dual radio 

antennas recessed into the passenger side door, everywhere 

you look you will find a custom touch. It has been nosed 

and decked, trim and handles have been shaved and the 

bumpers were transplanted from a 1949 Plymouth before 

being molded into the bodywork of this car. Nothing has 

been overlooked in the interior from the skillfully added 

gauges mounted in the dash and angled towards the driver, 

to the concealed AM-FM CD player. You can’t be cool in a 

car like this without air conditioning, and a modern R134A 

system has been installed. From the Appleton spot lights to 

the custom wheel covers this Pontiac is dripping with style, 

and it has a long list of awards and trophies it has won as its 

workmanship and design have won the hearts of thousands. 

She is a very unique vehicle, a true one-of-a-kind that would 

look good in only the most selective of collections. 


Lot No.61 

1952 Buick Special Riviera 

two-Door Hardtop 

120 HP, 263 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 8-Cylinder 


VIN 16609360; Engine No. 68588614 

Back in the early 1950’s, a car’s grille spoke volumes about 

what type of machine it was, and what type of person owned 

it. When you saw a Buick from this era, you knew they were 

powerful and they deserved your respect, in many ways, 

even more so than someone in a Cadillac. While the Special 

series was Buick’s entry-level line, it was still an impressive 

vehicle. From its big “valve-in-head” eight to the new 

Dynaflow transmissions, it built a reputation of performance 

with, nearly 120,000 customers moving over to this line of 

automobiles. Touted as “racy and road-steady” they were 

promoted as being “a lively performer that’s deluxe 

finished throughout”. 

This sharp example is presented in its original color scheme 

of gloss black over yellow and it is well appointed with 

original radio, heater-defroster, backup lights, full wheel 

covers and even a tissue dispenser. It looks to be basically 

original with no body or interior modifications and the 

engine compartment also appears to be complete with its 

unique air-cleaner. These big Buicks have a lot of appeal in 

today’s world of “jelly bean” cars, with its unique side sweep 

stainless trim and massive front bumper-grille combination, 

this is not the type of car you take lightly or have a tendency 

to forget. 



Lot No. 62 

1953 Chevrolet Bel Air 


108 HP, 236 cid, Overhead Valve 

In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Manual Transmission 

VIN: C53K039761 

Chevrolet had been first on the scene in the low-price field 

with a real pillar less hardtop with its introduction of the 

Bel Air Sport Coupe in 1950. For 1953, the Bel Air had 

expanded to become Chevy’s top-of-the-line series and one 

of the most stylish models that season continued to be the 

hardtop. Featuring all new sheet metal that year it was a 

sales winner, helped by the larger displacement six in all 

models. Styling was quite attractive, they would go on to 

own the No. 1 sales spot in the U.S. auto market. 

Finished with a Campus Cream roof over the Saddle Brown 

metallic body, this attractive car is ready to go. Restored 

back to its original configuration, the odometer shows just 

under 74,200 miles, which may be from new. Equipped with 

a factory original AM push-button radio, heater-defroster 

and clock mounted in the instrument cluster, the popularity 

of these cars continues to this day. Under the hood is clean 

and tidy with the “Blue Flame Six” detailed and wearing 

its original oil bath air-cleaner. While Chevy’s main 

competition might have had a V-8, the performance of this 

six was more than adequate and once you have inspected 

this car, you’ll want to put your hand in the air and see why 

owning a Chevrolet can make a difference. 

Lot No. 63 

1953 Kaiser Deluxe Four-Door Sedan 

118 HP, 226 cid, L-Head Continental Red Seal In-Line 

6-Cylinder Engines, 3-Speed Transmission 

VIN: K5311004921 

One of the most distinctively designed post-war American 

automobiles was the Kaiser, which claimed that famed 

stylist Howard “Dutch” Darrin had been the stylist. Aimed 

to fill a niche in medium price field, it had been a tough road 

to go for this new brand of automobile. When the second 

generation of Kaisers were released in 1951, they were 

hailed as innovative and stylish, but the buying public was 

still a little skeptical and seemed to have more trust in the 

established brands in this market range. 

By 1953, Kaiser was promoting their vehicles as being 

“Safety-First” automobiles, safest on the road. Interior 

styling was attractive, even on the lower-priced models, 

and with an engine from a proven supplier, there were few 

mechanical worries. This example, finished in Jade Green 

appears to be a survivor without any real restoration. 

Showing just under 67,150 miles, it has the patina of age 

but has not been abused, nor are there any signs of rust-out 

or accident repair. It is equipped with its original radio, 

clock plus heater-defroster and one special luxury, window 

shades for all four doors. A rather unusual and unique car, 

it might be the perfect gift for your wife or girlfriend, where 

you could surprise her with a Kaiser.

1954 Studebaker Champion 

“Starlight” Coupe 

85 HP, 169.6 cid L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed 

Transmission with Overdrive 

VIN: 1094371 (replacement VIN issued by State of California) 

Without hesitation, one of the most attractive American cars 

ever produced was the 1953 Studebaker with design from the 

talented genius Raymond Loewy. For 1954, only very minor 

changes were incorporated leaving his clean, smooth lines 

intact. With a sleek, low profile, these cars looked like speeding 

bullets even when they were standing still. Studebaker offered 

a full range of models from the economy of a six to the power of 

a V-8, from the family friendly four-door sedan to a sporty little 

coupe, such as the example offered here. 

Finished in a Polar White paint scheme, Loewy’s theme of 

“Less is More” is seen with this car. From the stylized “S” hood 

ornament to the overall profile of its body, the composition is 

spot on. The interior is finished in red vinyl, and the dashboard 

is simple and functional, while attractively adorned with 

chrome trim. It appears the first owner did not want a radio 

as it had a blank-out plate in its place, but to maybe make that 

first owner feel guilty, the letters R-A-D-I-O are placed where 

the station selector push-buttons would have been. Under 

the hood is clean and tidy with the original, hard-to-find air 

cleaner. Everything is right for this car including the gold-center 

full wheel covers. One of the most desirable and attractive 

American cars, this Starlight Coupe is a beauty to behold. 

(Note: the original VIN tag appears to still be on the car on the 

left door jamb) 


Lot No. 65 

1954 Hudson Jet Liner 


104+ HP, 202 cid, L-Head In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine With 

“Twin-H” Induction, Hydramatic Automatic Transmission 

Chassis No. 3291960, Body No. 5737 

Hoping to expand their market presence in the early 1950’s, 

Hudson brought out the compact Jet in 1953. It wasn’t overly 

fancy and offered in two or four-door sedan selections and 

used smaller engines than the full-size cars. Unfortunately, it 

also wasn’t economical to buy, priced at just $360 under the 

base full-size Wasp sedans, or worse yet a customer could buy 

a new full-size Ford or Chevrolet sedan with a more powerful 

in-line six, for a few hundred dollars less. In its two years of 

production only 21,143 Hudson Jets were produced. 

Despite their low numbers, the Jet was really a pretty good car 

and this example has been made better. Under the hood the 

Twin-H set-up is immediately recognizable, and to make this 

car that much better the electrical system has been upgraded 

to 12-volts. Also added is a modern R134A air-conditioning 

system that makes this all that more cool to operate. A 

concealed modern audio system has also been installed, 

but the original factory radio is still mounted in the original 

attractive dashboard. Finished in an attractive combination of 

white over red, the interior is finished in matching vinyl trim. 

Hudson owners were a loyal bunch, but no matter how much 

they might have wanted a compact version, it just couldn’t 

happen. This is a rare opportunity to own a prime example of 

a little car that would have found success if only it could have 

been priced more attractively. 

Lot No. 66 

1955 Ford thunderbird Convertible 

198 HP, 292 cid, Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 

Automatic Transmission 

VIN: P5FH152507 

When Ford introduced its sporty Thunderbird for the 1955 

model year, it was an instant success. Surely, more family 

sedans were sold than these little two-seaters, but it was the 

T-bird that the kids wanted to see that got mom and dad into 

the dealership. This beautiful example exhibits very straight 

body lines and appears to be a very solid ride. Born on 

February 10th, 1955, its appearance today is like it was when 

new, red with the red and white vinyl trim and white 

soft-top. It has been upgraded to a 12-volt system and 

features a 1956 era steering wheel and a modern radio and 

tape player. It retains its original clock, tachometer and very 

desirable chrome wire wheel covers. This is a very unique 

opportunity to own an American classic being offered at 

no reserve. 

Vehicles not in the sale will 

be moved to Dick’s Classic 

Garage museum in San Marcos, 

Texas. The museum is a part 

of the Central Texas Museum 

of Automotive History and was 

founded in 1980 by Mr. Burdick. The museum is dedicated to the

1955 Austin-Healey 100M 

two-Door Roadster 

110 HP, 2660 cc, Overhead Valve In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 

4-Speed Transmission with Overdrive 

Chassis No. BN2L230235 

Introduced late in the 1955 season, the second generation of the 

little 100-4 roadster saw a number of improvements such as a new 

4-speed transmission, improved valves and increased carburetion. 

While this car really put Austin-Healey on the map it was its exploits 

on racetracks around the world that would win it legions of fans, 

especially with the “M” or Le Mans version. Using a curved Plexiglas 

windscreen rather than the regular production unit was one weight 

saving edge, and the louvered hood with a leather hold-down strap 

were safety features. Most important was the pair of 1.75” H6/SU 

carbs combined with a tuned suspension that really allowed this car to 

take so many checkered flags. 

This example has been finished in red and is ready to hit the track. 

From the knock-off argent painted wire wheels to the well-detailed 

engine compartment, this car is ready to go. The passenger side 

door has been secured so it won’t open during competition, and the 

wood-grain steering wheels adds to the flavor of a real sports car. We 

also spotted an oil-cooler up-front and the bodywork looks to be in 

serviceable condition. This car has been raced and with no signs of a 

major crash it does show stress from its share of track time. While the 

odometer shows over 28,000 miles we do not know its true mileage. 

With a little mechanical attention, this little Austin-Healey would be 

a great addition and sure to bring plenty of fun to those who get to 

experience its handling and performance. 



Lot No. 68 

1956 Buick Special Riviera 


220 HP, 322 cid, Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, Dynaflow 


VIN: 4C2055724 

When better cars were built, it was Buick that often built 

them back in the 1950’s. For those who thought that a 

Cadillac was maybe a bit too pretentious, the Buick was 

a wonderful substitute. For the entry-level Buick buyer, 

the Special series was perfect and one of the most popular 

models was the “46R” 2-door hardtop presented here. 

Finished in its original color scheme of black and white, 

this is basically an original car with a California heritage. 

The interior is trimmed with red vinyl and luxurious black 

fabric, and features a new for 1956, instrument cluster and 

accessories on the dashboard including the Sonomatic 

push-button radio, electric clock, and heater defroster. While 

the Special may have been the most economical Buick in the 

line-up this wasn’t a stripped-down loss-leader for it has 

power steering, brakes, windows, seats and even the radio 

antenna. One up-grade is the recent addition of a modern 

air-conditioning unit using the R134A refrigerant helping 

keep this car extra cool. It is still wearing its California black 

plates, which were issued to this car in 1963, and from our 

inspection, we found no issues with any rust-out or any 

signs of accident repair. Big, bold and beautiful, this 1956 

Buick is a very unique opportunity to own a very desirable 

and attractive hardtop from the mid-1950’s. 

Lot No. 69 

1956 oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday 


240 HP, 324 cid Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, Hydramatic 


VIN: 567K16862 

When it came to horsepower, Oldsmobile took a backseat 

to few others in the 1950’s, with its Rocket V-8’s and cutting 

edge engineering. Styling was also a strong point with Olds, 

and the 1956 models proved that. From the wide-mouth 

grille surrounded by a massive chrome plated bumper to the 

jet-fire inspired taillights mounted high on the rear quarter 

panels, you knew you were looking at an Oldsmobile. 

This outstanding example is an icon of what colorful 

motoring was in the mid-1950’s. Finished in its original 

colors of Festival Red and Alcan White, its two-tone scheme 

is even more outstanding today than it was over 55 years 

ago. With a matching interior carried out in two-tone 

vinyl, the dashboard reflects the exterior styling with 

massive amounts of attractive chrome plating that houses 

the original Super Deluxe push-button radio, the easy to 

read clock and controls for the heater-defroster and other 

motoring needs. Under the hood houses that mighty V-8 

engine with its chrome plated valve covers and 

dual-scoop air-cleaner mounted atop the four-barrel 

carburetor. Everywhere you look, the Oldsmobile for 1956 

was Rocket inspired from the beautiful hood ornament to 

the side trim, from a time when we were on the edge of 

the space age, and what better way to travel than in this 

Holiday hardtop from Oldsmobile.

1956 Chevrolet Corvette two-Door 

Convertible (with Removable Hardtop) 

225 HP, 265 cid Overhead Valve V-8 with Dual 4-Barrel 

Carburetors, 3-Speed Manual Transmission 

VIN: DRF53290 (State of Florida assigned number) 

Corvette was America’s first real sports car and the 1956 models 

would secure its future through outstanding performance, 

improved construction techniques and the tenacity of one man, 

Zora Arkus-Duntov. Sales of the little sports car had been weak 

with just 700 units produced in 1955. Chevrolet was ready to 

pull the plug on this experiment, except for the persistence of 

Duntov who was assisted by the father of the Chevrolet small 

-block, Ed Cole. Together they convinced Chevrolet’s marketing 

team to allow one more year of production for the car to 

“prove” it’s self and it did quite well. 

This fully restored example represents one of the best looking 

cars ever produced. Finished in Venetian Red with a Polo White 

scallop, this car has outstanding workmanship where the body 

panels line up with the hood, deck-lid and doors all gapped at 

or above factory specs. Under the hood, the dual four-barrel 

carbs roar to life to make this a formidable competitor on 

any road-race circuit or just to get from point A to point B in 

the shortest possible time. It is also equipped with the very 

desirable removable hardtop, as well as spinner wheel covers, 

and full instrumentation including clock and tachometer. One 

upgrade has been the addition of a recent aftermarket AM-FM 

stereo system. This is an opportunity to buy one of the first 

generations of America’s sports car, and these straight-axle 

early models continue to command strong values under all 

market conditions. 


Lot No. 71 

1956 Cadillac Sedan deVille 

Four-Door Hardtop 

285 HP, 365 cid Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 


Chassis No. 5662034019 

In the 1950’s, nothing said success like Cadillac. Any Cadillac 

was a good thing, but moving up from the base Series 62 

line, you had to admire the new Sedan de Ville. The idea of 

a four-door closed car that, when the windows were rolled 

down offered open-car “freshness” had first been introduced 

the previous season. This unique example appears to 

wearing its original paint in the unique color combination 

of Alpine White over Taupe, and its interior is trimmed with 

black brocade fabric and leather bolsters. 

Cadillac’s “de Ville” models were well appointed with 

power steering, brakes, windows and seats all standard, and 

if ordered with a radio, even the antenna was powered to 

raise and lower electrically. One popular, but very expensive 

accessory of the day was air-conditioning, of which this 

example is equipped. This car appears to have been in 

storage for quite some time and would benefit greatly from 

a major detailing, especially under the hood. Showing just 

over 67,000 miles, it looks like this could be from new, which 

would make this Cadillac a very luxurious survivor.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 



3-Speed Manual Transmission 

VIN: VC57N173992 

Considered the most iconic American car from the 1950’s, 

the Chevrolet Bel Air for 1957 is the one car that every car 

collector should own. With its unique styling from the 

“Frenched” styled headlights to the chrome trim adorned 

chrome, these cars represent everything that is right. This 

year the small block V-8 engine that had been introduced 

two years earlier, was enlarged and improved, and this car is 

equipped with the four-barrel version known as the Power- 

Pack. Finished in Tropical Turquoise, it features a matching 

all vinyl interior and a tight fitting convertible soft top. 

Treated to a full restoration several years ago and well 

maintained since, this beauty is fully outfitted with such 

extras as a “Continental-Style” rear deck tire carrier, electric 

windshield wipers, fender skirts, spinner style wheel covers, 

original heater-defroster, and a clock. Mounted in the 

dashboard is an aftermarket AM-FM stereo system and for 

safety, seat belts. One alteration is the auxiliary horn button 

mounted under the dashboard. With laser-straight smooth 

sheet metal, one of the most attractive color schemes you 

could imagine and a never-ending string of admirers, this 

Bel Air convertible is one that will not only boost your ego, 

but will retain its value.

1957 Mercury Montclair 



Push-Button Automatic Transmission 

Chassis No. 57LA29661M 

From the initial launch of Mercury in 1939, many critics claimed it 

was little more than a glorified, slightly larger Ford. That comparison 

was thrown out the window when the totally new 1957’s were 

introduced with what was touted “Dream Car Design”. Montclair 

was considered the mid-level trim this year sandwiched between 

Monterey and the new Turnpike Cruisers. In that series the top-seller 

was the 2-door hardtop with 30,111 being produced. 

This handsome example is powered by the same engine as the 

Turnpike Cruiser and is loaded with extras. Under the hood one will 

find power steering and brakes, the latter being the GM developed 

Treadle-Vac system, plus original windshield washer operated in 

unison with the wipers. On the exterior this car has the new 

four-headlight system touted as Quadra-Beam, an extra-cost option 

this year. Mounted in the rear bumper pods are the large safety 

reflectors and on the front fender, a swept back radio antenna. Interior 

appointments include push-button shifting for the transmission, 

also an original radio plus heater-defroster and tinted glass. A rather 

attractive car, this Mercury shows only the slightest patina of use and 

it is possible that the 25,200 miles showing on the odometer may be 

from new. Nothing was more futuristic than Mercury for the 1957 

model year, and today 55 years later it is still an icon of American 

design and engineering. 



Lot No. 74 

1965 Buick Skylark GS 


325 HP, 401 cid, Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, Floor Shift 

Automatic Transmission · VIN: 444375Z115477 

In 1961, a new compact line was born to the Buick brand and 

took up the previously used Special series name. A sporty 

edition of this little car also used a name from Buick’s past, 

the Skylark. In 1963, the little compact grew into more of a 

mid-size car. With the success for Pontiac’s GTO, in 1965 Buick 

engineered a way to squeeze their big “nail-head” V-8 under the 

hood which created the Gran Sport, or GS package. While sales 

of the GS were somewhat limited, it did act in bringing people 

into Buick showrooms and that was half the battle won. 

This sharp example is one of just 2,282 GS coupes produced in 

its initial season, and it is in near perfect condition. Skylarks that 

were designated as “GS” models, were treated differently than 

other cars on the assembly line. Starting with using a reinforced 

convertible chassis, all suspension components were beefed 

up through the use of heavy duty items like shock absorbers 

and springs. Finished in light yellow officially called Bamboo 

Cream, this example has a black vinyl bucket seats as well as a 

black vinyl top, and those unique GS wheels are wearing redline 

tires, along with power steering and brakes. The interior 

is pure stock with the exception of a later model Sony AM-FM 

tape player and Pioneer speakers mounted in the rear package 

tray. Buick’s GS would prove to be a popular addition to the 

muscle-car world and the new owner of this example is sure to 

be surprised at how others will admire this beauty. 

Lot No. 75 

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 




VIN: 138177K184066 

Chevelle could not have been born at a more opportune 

time, the birth of the muscle-car era. While initially 

designed to be powered by the small block engines, a few 

fire-breathing 396 editions had been created in 1965. The 

nest year saw the introduction of the SS-396 as a regular 

production option, a new potent entry to the muscle-car 

world had arrived. For 1967, there were several flavors of 

the “Rat-Motor” available and one of the most potent was 

the 350 horsepower version, as found in this car. 

This outstanding example finished in Marina Blue with 

black vinyl top is a fully restored example and is ready to 

hit the road or show circuit. It appears that the restoration 

of this car started with a solid original real-deal SS as the 

bodywork is smooth and straight. Chrome and bright trim 

look showroom fresh from the smooth bumpers to the 

badges and the unique grille. The interior is fitted with 

matching vinyl bucket seats as well as such amenities as 

a factory AM radio and base heater-defroster. One of the 

highlights is the center-shift console mounted tachometer, 

which is believed to be original to this car. Showing 35,275 

miles, this car has been used sparingly since it joined 

the Burdick collection, and it might be time to wake this 

sleeping giant up and take it back on the road.

1967 Datsun 1600 


96 HP, 1595 cc, Overhead Cam In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 

4-Speed Transmission · VIN SPL31113818 

When the Nissan Corporation came to America in the late 1950’s, 

they found that their automobiles were not quite up to the same 

standards drivers in the USA were use to. A quick trip to the drawing 

boards and new, more substantial models were created. In 1961, the 

Fairlady 1500 sports car was first shown, and though production 

numbers were limited, it was a step in the right direction. In 1965, the 

engine size was increased to by 100 cc’s, and these little sports cars 

were put on the export list. Although the Fairlady nameplate was 

dropped and a simple 1600, referring to the engine size, was used, 

these cars enjoyed success and helped to bring in foot traffic at the 

newly established Datsun dealers across the land. 

This beautifully presented little red sports car looks to have been 

treated to a full frame-off restoration. Fitted with black vinyl bucket 

seats, a black soft top plus a relatively rare removable hardtop, this 

is one of the nicest examples we have seen in many years. Just 10,400 

of these cars were produced, and this example has everything you 

could ask for including outstanding body work and good looks. 

One of the few upgrades placed on this car has been, cast aluminum 

sport wheels. Doors, hood and deck-lid all seemed to line-up and 

under the hood, the engine is relatively clean and attractive with a 

pair of SU carbs and the valve cover has been detailed to highlight 

the DATSUN cast into the center. A bright example of a mid-1960’s 

Datsun sports car, this is an opportunity you will not want to miss 

as the interest in early Japanese sports cars appears to be growing by 

leaps and bounds. 


Lot No. 77 

1969 Chevrolet Corvair 500 Monza 

Sport Coupe (only 14.7 original miles) 

110 HP, 164 cid Horizontally Opposed 6-Cylinder Engine, 

4-Speed Transmission · VIN: 105379W705806 

One of the first victims of self-appointed consumer watchdog 

Ralph Nader was the Chevrolet Corvair. First introduced for 

the 1960 model year, he had made claims that these cars were 

unsafe at any speed. The media jumped on his bandwagon with 

government investigations and studies following. As more bad 

press was generated, the sales of these innovative compacts 

plummeted. General Motor decided to pull the plug for the 1969 

model year and just 6,000 cars were produced. A couple of years 

after the model’s demise, the Federal Government issued a report 

that the Corvair had been just as safe as any other car on 

the road. 

This Blue example was one of the last 200 Corvairs ever 

produced at GM’s Willow Run plant outside of Ypsilanti, 

Michigan. Each of these cars were hand assembled on a special 

assembly line and were only built to order. This coupe has 

traveled just 14.7 miles since it rolled out of the factory some 

43 years ago. Beautifully preserved and kept in climate 

controlled storage from new, this is one of the most pristine 

examples anywhere in the world. Purchased new from Dunlap 

Chevrolet in Macon, Georgia, the original owner knew how 

special this car would be. This Corvair represents a chance to 

become the caretaker for a very important part of American 

automotive history. With under 15 miles from new, it shows 

off the hand-craftsmanship that went into this car’s original 

construction and for anyone interested in keeping our heritage 

alive, should not be missed. 

Lot No. 78 

1969 Chevrolet C-10 1/2-ton 

Long-Bed Pick-Up truck 

155 HP, 250 cid, Overhead Valve In-Line 

6-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Transmission 

VIN: CS149Z860972 

Always a leader in the truck world, Chevrolet combined 

sharp styling along with rugged performance to take care 

of nearly any job that would come its way. In 1967, a new 

generation of Chevrolet truck was released and among 

collectors this era of Chevy trucks is one of the most popular. 

This example has recently been repainted in a pleasing 

Robin’s Egg Blue with White accents. The bed has been 

protected with a spray-in liner. It does have a period dealer 

installed air-conditioning system, but from our inspection 

it appeared to need some attention to be functional. Fitted 

with a set of heavy-duty American Racing wheels this truck 

looks like it is ready to go anywhere or handle any load that 

should come its way. Everything about this truck speaks of 

the hard work it is equipped to handle from the auxiliary 

fuel tank to the diamond-plate rear bumper. 


Lot No. 79 

1970 AMC AMX two-Door Coupe 

290 HP, 360 cid, Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 

3-Speed Automatic Transmission · VIN: A0C397P242361 

In the mid 1960’s a new segment of the American automotive market 

had been born, the sport compact. With the Ford Mustang having 

become the first real star of the segment, they became better known as 

the Pony-Cars. Chevrolet responded for 1967 with the Camaro and in 

1968, AMC brought out its own entry, the very compact AMX. While 

American Motors was better known for building reliable economy 

cars, there was a group within the company that had a passion for 

performance and the AMX was a result of that passion. One of the 

aims for the AMX program was to become a force within the Trans- 

Am racing circuit, and with the help of talents like Mark Donohue, a 

number of awards and championships came to AMC. 

This is outstanding example of a sports compact. Finished in Big Bad 

Blue with blackout hood and front fender tops. Under the hood is the 

base AMX V-8, rated officially at 290 HP, which was the limit allowed 

by Trans-Am regulations, and its detailing is one of the best in this 

collection. Wearing its original Magnum 500 wheels it rides on a set 

of Uni-Royal Tiger Paw GTS radial tires. Adding to the visual effect 

are the body-side pipes and accessory bumper guards. Air flows to 

the carburetor through a pair of scoops in the hood. This example 

is also fitted with power steering and brakes with discs to the front 

and drums to the rear. The interior is well appointed with a factory 

AM-FM radio, simulated woodgrain applique on the dashboard and 

center-shift console and grab-bar for the passenger. In the world of 

muscle cars, the AMX is often over-looked, but we think that this little 

coupe could be the best bang for your performance buck. 



Lot No. 80 

1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Long Wheel Base Four-Door Limousine 

(Johnny Cash original owner) 

220 HP (est.), 6,750 cc Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, Automatic Transmission 

Chassis No. LRX9254 

It is hard to believe that we lost Johnny Cash on September 12, 2003, his music and gravelly voice are such a part of 

the music world that he will live on forever. In 1970, at the height of his career, Cash needed a personal limousine. 

He turned to Rolls-Royce where he acquired a long-wheelbase Silver Shadow Saloon. At the time the Crewe factory 

did not produce a limousine, so Cash turned to a local Nashville coach builder, gave them his specifications and 

this is the final product. Cash used this limousine up through 1977 when it was sold to another private owner prior 

to coming to the Burdick collection. 

It is finished in dark burgundy with a black vinyl roof. The interior is well-appointed, with plush maroon velour 

seats include a pair of rear-facing occasional seats. An entertainment center is mounted to the center of the rear 

compartment and some of those components have been upgraded since Cash’s ownership. All of the expected 

amenities are included such as air-conditioning and full power. A red phone in the passenger compartment 

connects to one up front so that the passenger can tell the driver where to go or if other special needs should arise. 

This special limousine is a one-of-a-kind vehicle for a one-of-a-kind performer. Since it has come to the Burdick 

Collection this car has been used on a semi-regular basis and today shows a little over 86,500 miles, which is from 

new. Unlike some custom coaches of this era, we could not find any sign of stress cracks and it appears it has never 

had any body damage. Take away the celebrity and this Rolls-Royce is an iconic and special piece. Add to that the 

legacy of Johnny Cash and the possibility of some of its passengers or that fact that some of his famous songs could 

have been created while riding around in its back seat, and you have the makings of a legend. Best of all, this entire 

car was produced in 1970 and wasn’t put together one piece at a time.

1972 triumph Stag two-Door Coupe 

145 HP, 3.0 Litre Overhead Valve V-8 Engine, 

4-Speed Transmission · VIN: TBA 

Since its entry into the sports car field in the late 

1940’s, Triumphs were usually small two-seaters 

powered by a potent in-line four, but in the early 

1970’s the company wanted to larger luxury V-8 

powered sports car, which laid the groundwork 

for the Stag. With styling from designer Giovanni 

Michelotti, the car was born and would soon dominate 

the marque’s larger T2000 and T2500 series of regular 

passenger cars. Stag came to the American shores for 

the 1971 model year and enjoyed some success, though 

limited. Federal regulations related to roll-over safety 

was addressed which some fans claim altered the cars 

original lines, while other like the idea of having a car 

with two top options. 

This attractive example appears to have been given a 

sympathetic restoration and appears to be in very good 

condition. Sheet metal is straight and both doors as well 

as the hood and deck lid sit well within the main body 

with consistent gaps, as well as opening and closing as 

designed. The interior is quite service-able with a full 

compliment of gauges and the seats seem to cradle the 

driver and passenger, though those relegated to the 

back seat may find comfort is a little short. Over the past 

couple of years interest in the Stag has grown and this 

example, based on its condition, is sure to be a car that 

others will admire and the driver can enjoy.

1981 DeLorean DMC-12 

two-Door Gullwing Coupe 

150 HP, 2869 cc Dual Overhead Cam V-6 Engine, 5-Speed 

Manual Transmission 

VIN: SCEDT26T1BD0004842 

Legend, controversy and one man’s dream are rolled into 

the DeLorean DMC-12. The genius of John Z. DeLorean was 

behind the car that would bear his name, and his ability to 

put deals together was to be the his pathway to prosperity. 

All this was lost when the economy soured and the false 

accusations of his involvement in drugs were made public. 

These cars saw the bodies produced in brushed stainless 

steel, with the theory that these cars would last forever. 

DeLorean’s original hope was for a 200 HP V-6, but he 

finally decided on a motor jointly developed by Peugeot, 

Renault and Volvo. 

This example is in its original presentation of stainless steel 

with dark gray leather appointments. The front and rear 

fascia are in very good condition and have not yellowed 

or warped as one might expect. Showing just under 25,800 

miles, it appears that this vehicle was well maintained from 

new and shows no signs of abuse or trauma. Looking much 

like it did when it left the factory in Dunmurry, Ireland, this 

is truly a most interesting part of automotive history and 

car that has seen a lot of renewed interest over the past few 

years. The best time to buy a rising star like this is when you 

first see it, because it might be a while before another one 

comes your way.

1935 Rolls Royce Phantom II Four-Door touring 

40/50 HP, 7669 cc, Overhead Valve In-Light 6-Cylinder Engine, 4-Speed 

Transmission · Chassis No. 65TA 


Affectionately known as “The Yellow Rose of Texas” this is probably 

Mr. Burdick’s favorite car, for it was in this vehicle that he competed in 

several editions of the Great American Race. In 1983, the first running of this 

cross-country sprint limited to vintage cars, Dick and his partner, 

Ken Downing, drove this car from Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California 

to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana where their efforts were 

rewarded with a 12th place finish overall. Encouraged by their wives they 

entered this Rolls-Royce in the second running in 1984 where the route started 

at Universal City in Hollywood, California and ended at Indy, and that year 

they moved up to 10th overall. Undaunted they entered again in 1985 where the 

course started in North Hollywood, California, and traveled to New York City. 

After more practice Burdick and a new riding partner Wayne Bell, would go on 

to take 1st place overall in 1989, a fete repeated in 1990, and again in 1992. 

This beautiful Rolls Royce retains its original engine and transmission but has 

been modernized in some operational areas, primarily improved braking and 

a 12 volt electrical system. Prior to being a part of the Burdick’s Great Race car, 

it had been restored by marque experts by its previous owner the late James C. 

Leake back in 1976. It has been maintained and exercised on a regular basis and 

is grand a lady as there could ever be. From the Spirit of Ecstasy radiator mascot 

to the massive grille and headlight, everyone should know exactly what type of 

car this is. While not exactly a Concours trailer queen, this old gal has plenty of 

life left in those cylinders and for the new owner, who knows what excitement 

and adventure the road holds for this fabulous Phantom Phaeton. 



When the mighty Model J Duesenberg was released there had never been another car like it 

anywhere in the world. Exacting engineering produced the most powerful engine ever seen in an 

American built automobile up to that time. The brothers Duesenberg had wanted their cars to be as 

custom built as possible from the chassis up, and each would have one thing in common, absolute 

perfection. When first introduced in the fall of 1929, the price for just the Model J chassis was $8,500, 

and a couple of years later that had grown to $9,500. Offered in two wheelbase options, the standard 

143.5” while a long wheelbase suitable for cars that generally carried 7-passengers or more, were 

stretched out another 10 inches. 

After the chassis had been ordered, the customer was free to choose their own coachbuilder, though 

Duesenberg did have a few recommended selections. When a customer had selected a coach, the 

factory would send a set of chassis plans so that the bodies would be mounted properly. The cost of 

the coach work could run as little as $3,000 but most cost at least $5,000 with at least one example 

costing $20,000 when new, comparable to about $400,000 or more today. 

Chassis No. 2385 was designated as a long-wheel base design and was purchased by Mrs. K. Stanley 

Smith who resided in London. From our research we have found that Mr. Smith was involved in the 

very lucrative field of tobacco sales and importation between Britain and the United States. As were 

several other Duesenberg chassis, Mrs. Smith sent this one to the shops of Carrosserie Franay in 

Paris, France. The result was a rather attractive “Sunroof” Sport Sedan featuring a low streamlined 

appearance that was achieved in part by having the body sides dropped down nearly to the running 

boards and then having the rear doors sweep down in a graceful curve to the belt-line. A built-in 

trunk was also ordered and its line reflected that of the roofline giving the car a continuity of design. 


Lot No. 83 

1933 Duesenberg Model J, Body by Franay, 

“Sunroof” Sport Berline Sedan “Queen of Diamonds” 

265 HP, 420 cid, Overhead Cam In-Line Eight Cylinder Engine, 


Chassis No. 2385; Engine No. J365 


In the late 1960’s the car was still recorded as being in France but it is believed to have been brought 

back to the United States sometimes during the 1970’s. Over a succession of owners there were a 

number modifications to the original Franay coachwork, but the original design is timeless and still 

quite stunning to this day. Finished in a pleasing shade of raspberry red it is deep and flawless and 

all of the chrome glistens in the sunlight from the bumpers to the Buffalo wire wheels. Today the 

dual side-mount spare tires are encased in protective chrome bans, each topped with a rear-view 

mirrors, while up front a pair of Pilot Ray driving lamps light your way as you round a curve or 

turn a corner, and atop that beautifully designed radiator grille is the distinctive mascot designed by 

Gordon Buehrig, a work of art by itself. 

Looking inside this Duesenberg you will find that both front and rear seats are done in pleated ivory 

leather. Centered in the dashboard is the instrument cluster with its attractive engine turned plate 

holding the tachometer, speedometer, clock and other instruments that help the driver monitor the 

operation of this fabulous piece of machinery. Take some time to notice the little touches such as the 

custom engraved gearshift knob, for it is features like this that set this Duesenberg apart from all 

others. In the passenger compartment, a handsome wooden liquor cabinet takes center stage, and is 

fitted with a clock, speedometer and tachometer so that those in the back seat can also monitor the 

Model J’s forward progress. The center window, when lowered, is completely concealed by a spring 

loaded metal cover and upon rolling up the partition glass, a limousine effect can be achieved and 

privacy of conversation insured. 

Since joining the Burdick collection, this Franay Sport Sedan has received the utmost in care and 

maintenance. While it has been exercised on a regular basis, its primary duty has been to be a part of 

the museum and has greeted thousands of visitors over the years, showing off a bit of international 

flair and styling.

1905 Lorraine & De Dietrich et Cie Model VDC Sport Racer 

In-Line 4-Cylinder T-Head Engine 

Chassis No. 104; Engine #122 


Officially known as Société Lorraine des Anciens Establissments de Dietrich and Cie, this 

quality French motoring concern was founded in 1896, and by 1905 was considered one of 

the most respected early contenders in European racing events. This beautifully restored 

example features a lightweight two-place arrangement that has actually competed in 

the Great American Race. From its massive engine to the precision machined the gears 

of the transmission, this car looks are good as it goes. Exercised on a regular basis this is 

one of Mr. Burdick’s favorite automobiles, one packed with personal history and a tough 

decision indeed to let it go on to its new caretaker. Knowing that it was in cars similar to 

this one that the marque took a 1-2-3 finish in the 1906 Circuit de Ardennes will make the 

winning bidder of this vehicle a champion among motorists everywhere. 

Lot No. 85 1911 Napier “Garden Car” 

15 HP, 2720 cc In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine, 3-Speed Transmission, Shaft Drive 



One of the most interesting vehicles is this unique Garden car. Fitted to the chassis of one 

of Britain’s foremost early auto builders, the hand-crafted wicker bodywork on this car 

was created at the Royal Institute for the Blind in Notthingham, England. The story goes 

that the primary function of this car was to gather flowers and to transport its passengers 

to fair-weather outdoor social events such as picnics, garden parties, afternoon tea or 

to use it as a spectator’s perch during a fox hunt. This car shows signs of usage and has 

been exercised on a regular basis. It appears to have been restored in the 1970’s, and 

features vintage Lucas Kings Road brass kerosene headlamps, as well as Landalite cowl 

lamps, and a rubber bulb operated brass horn. For safety a pair of auxiliary electric 

driving lamps were mounted to give a bit more dependable lighting. The wicker work is 

in outstanding condition with the seat pads easily removed for cleaning. One of the most 

unusual and recognized cars from this collection, we believe this car has great potential 

for invitations for display from around the world. 



“As silent as a ghost” is how one early motorist described the operations of the 40/50HP Rolls-Royce 

in 1906, hence came the name Silver Ghost. From the very start Rolls-Royce strove for the utmost 

in engineering and quality. One of the earliest models considered the original Silver Ghost, has 

traveled over a half-million miles and been exhibited on every continent in the world. 

With the amount of labor plus the care and precision, these motorcars were expensive when new, 

available only to the wealthiest of clients. Cornelius Vanderbilt II, whose family was one the richest 

families in the world, placed an order to the Rolls Royce factory in England, for a new Silver Ghost 

chassis. When finished it was prepared and shipped directly to the shops of Brewster in Long 

Island City, New York. As one of the leading coachbuilders in the United States, they were familiar 

with the chassis of the Silver Ghost so that each design component could be personally crafted to 

exacting details. With precision and elegance this gorgeous town car was born. Presented today in 

its original configuration the body is finished in a deep maroon with black high lights and fenders. 

Up in the chauffeur’s seat, he was open of all the elements of weather with only a removable fabric 

cover for his head. A full complement of gauges including a clock, were mounted to the firewall and 

the custom built for Rolls Royce Waltham speedometer odometer today shows just under 89,300 

miles which is apparently from new.

1913 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost town Car by Brewster 

40/50 HP, 7428 cc Twin-Head, Side-Valve In-Line 6-Cylinder Engine, 


Chassis No. 919TC, Engine No. 91A 


For those lucky passengers, they are greeted with a luxurious rear seat covered in rich deep red 

wool broadcloth, which is also used on the interior panels and fold down occasional seats. Mounted 

on the divider wall is a stem wound clock to make sure one wasn’t late for an important business 

meeting or luncheon date. Pull down window shades may be drawn for a bit of privacy and the 

hardware retains much of its original nickel finish. 

Dual fender mounted spare tires are fitted to rims which could be mounted to the massive wood 

spoked wheels should a flat tire occur. Lighting on the car has been electrified including the large 

drum style head lamps and smaller matching driving lights. This car appears to be in mostly original 

condition, a salute to the outstanding craftsmanship that went into its construction. This is a vehicle 

worthy of any collection and as a survivor of those most opulent times. From the Spirit of Ecstasy 

radiator mascot to the original engine, this is truly a master piece in motoring.

1938 DeSoto Model S-5 Custom 

Four-Door touring Sedan 

“The Unknown DeSoto” 

93 HP, 228.1 cid, 2.1 Liter Side Valve In-Line 6-Cylinder 

Engine, 3-Speed Transmission · Engine No. S5-36487 

In 1938, recession hit the U.S. causing vehicle manufacturers to 

reduce production. Poor sales caused the Chrysler Corporation to 

respond by offering buyers special “dressed up” models during the 

midyear. The DeSoto version was called the “Custom”. The engine 

remained the same and there were no fancy extras added to the 

exterior. The interior however, was much more “custom” with a 

special offering of fabrics, fabric combinations, contrasting plastic 

and knobs within the interior and many other “touches” that set 

it apart from its standard counterparts. Reports estimate that 

only 2,550 examples of these Custom DeSotos were produced in 

1938. Until 1992, it was not know whether or not one was still in 

existence and hence it lovingly became known as the 

“Unknown DeSoto”. The National DeSoto Club, in the early 

summer of that year, released an article discussing the Custom 

DeSotos and by late summer, this particular car had been 

discovered. She is full of features and options that were not 

available on the standard model including: twin windshield 

wipers, twin taillights, chrome trim ringed wheel covers, 

twin Air-Tone horns, labels on all under dash knobs, “custom” 

matching steering wheel and gearshift knobs, twin sun visors, 

front passenger armrest, contrasting shade interior and many 

little chrome touches to the interior and exterior. The offering of 

this vehicle to public is a unique chance to not only own a piece 

of true Americana but also the chance to own what remarkably 

could be the only DeSoto of its kind left in the world.
