1935 Auburn 851 boat-tailed speedster, in not subtle YELLOW.
To emphasize the smooth transfer from the previous 5 black and red images of the Cadillac V-16 four door convertible, sharp eyed viewers will find it in the Auburn's headlight. Both cars are major conspicuous consumption during the depths of the Great Depression but thank God that this spectacular rolling art was saved and not used to make battle ships, or left to rust in some back yard.
We hoi palloi with cameras are allowed to share (but not touch) though most of us would find it difficult to pay for the paint jobs (up to and sometimes exceeding $100,000) of these beauties.
Two of the four external chrome exhaust pipes from the 1937 Cord 812.Instead of fastening these pipes to an underbody exhaust,there were on the hood in all their glory.One of the most distinctive vehicles of the 20th Century,supercharging was an option on the 812 which also featured retractable headlamps and front wheel drive.Only 1000 were produced in the two years it was available...
This car is part of a nearly 70 car collection that is the Tampa Auto Museum.Most of the cars featured are foreign made classics in engineering and design from the 1920's and '30s.

The Mercedes-Benz W125 was a Grand Prix racing car produced by German auto manufacturer Mercedes-Benz to race during the 1937 Grand Prix season. Designed by head designer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the car was used by Rudolf Caracciola to win the 1937 European Championship and W125 drivers also finished in the second, third and fourth positions in the championship.
The W125 was powered by a supercharged double overhead camshaft 5,663 cc (345.6 cu in) capacity 94 mm × 102 mm (3.70 in × 4.02 in) inline 8 which produced 595 horse power (444 kW) in race trim. Its highest test bed power measured was 637 BHP (646 PS) at 5,800 rpm, with 245 BHP (248 PS) developed at a mere 2,000 rpm.
