Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
The craftmanship is really jaw-dropping. You can see it was a labor of love, money-no-object build. A feast for the eyes!
High praise :-)
Mark Norton is a top notch woodie builder
This car is beyond words! That has to be the most beautiful car I have seen in any of your videos. This 1936 Auburn woodie wagon has spectacular woodwork along with the leather interior. The instrument cluster is beyond beautiful! The engine sounds perfect, and I love how it sounds going through the gears. What a sweet ride Lou! ❤
High praise Michael :-)
The tires, its the tires for me. An era is asimulated by its tire, and honestly these just aren't right (now this fellas using a great tire, coker or one of those firestone rehashes, but it's all in the size and thickness of the tire that can fix it or ruin it).
When I think of the 1930s, and the Auburn sedan/station wagon, I think of those large tires holding up the vehicle, while being incredibly thin from the side view, a big white wall band, and an elegant inner hub. Just a beautiful stance that unfortunately is a little lost with this one. Now, this is to be expected as most just hot rod these types of vehicles, so to even see it stock is perfectly fine, but..when you thought you'd find variety in the old car community, anything that was more original and perfect, it makes you desperate for that right thing. That perfect thing.
And speaking of perfect, holy cow the color on the 1935 Auburn is spectacular. Just the tires, makes it look like a 1958-60 model on the chassis.
What a beautiful Auburn woodie.! The whine of that supercharger is amazing. ! The color of the woodgrain next to the blue is so outstanding. ! That is a one of a kind, for sure. Thanks Lou - this is one of the coolest cars you have featured on your show. The owner sure is lucky to have one of those. ! Beautiful interior too. !
Hi Kevin, "this is one of the coolest cars you have featured on your show" High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
What a beauty. You do such a great job on these videos, Lou
Hi John, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Appreciate the kind encouraging words, Lou
A picture is worth a thousand words, and it's a good thing, I have no words.
Uncle Grant lost his '40 Ford Woodie when the tornado struck Xenia, Ohio in 1974.
Hi Mark, The video helps describe this 1 of 1 for sure :-) Sad to read the end result of Uncle Grants Woodie :-( Lou
Simply amazing! You can't get any rarer than 1 of 1, and the restoration covered everything. What a fantastic car! Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read "Simply amazing!" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
This has to be one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. I just wish he would have given a demonstration of the acceleration of it with it's supercharged straight 8 engine. For their time, the supercharged Auburns were no slouch.
Hi Todd, High praise :-) We discussed an "acceleration run" and we both agreed the car is more of a "cruiser" than a "bruiser" with the supercharged option. Lou
It's equal to a 35-36 Auburn speedster for power
@@The35speedster the Auburn Speedsters were very respectable performers for their time.
What a stunner! Yeah, I'd be afraid to drive it..... 👀👍
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
American ingenuity at it’s best! Gorgeous
Nice !
All I can saw is, "Wow!!" What an exquisite build!! Thanks for bringing us this jewel, Lou.
Happy to receive a "Wow!!" from you Gary :-) You're welcome.
She's a stunner. I love the shade of blue. It really pops with that gorgeous woodwork and whitewall tires.

@loucostabile Thx! I enjoy your videos and the cars you highlight in them. I don't have a collector car of my own. Someday, perhaps. As an aside, your guest looks a lot like Jeff Daniels, the actor. I'm not sure how that is relative to the topic at hand. It just struck me, I guess.
A real masterpiece, unbelievable craftsmanship. Thank you for this feature Lou, a real treat to view.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read "A real masterpiece" :-) You're welcome, Lou
What a cool car! Very impressive build.
I just love it.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, I agree. this built is very impressive. Happy to read "I just love it" :-) You're welcome, Lou
This 1936 Auburn 852 Supercharged Woodie Wagon is simply a work of art on wheels! It is beautifully crafted, and the wood finishes and fittings are simply perfect. The blue color, along with the chrome ornaments, such as the winged lady on the hood, the large grille, the headlights or even the heart-shaped bumper, are a sight to behold. A fantastic interior, from the leather seats to the instruments, without forgetting that elegant wooden ceiling; giving us a feeling of being in a comfortable mackerel. Its engine sounded very good, and the smooth driving was noticeable on the spectacular final ride. In short, a piece of art that will not leave anyone indifferent! Best regards, Lou!
Hi Jaime, High praise. Happy to read "a piece of art that will not leave anyone indifferent!" :-) Lou
Wow. What a build. One of a kind. Thanks for showing this beautiful car guys.

Absolutely incredible work, wow!
High praise :-)
I'm lost for words. Truly stunning car! Usually I don't like it when a car is converted to something it was not originally, but this is such a fine example of craftsmanship and attention to detail that it looks original. I just cannot believe how beautiful the car is. That color just works! Thanks for sharing the best automobiles you can find, Lou!
Hi ultraviolet tp, "I'm lost for words. Truly stunning car!" High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
I almost started this post with "I didn't know Auburn made a Woody" I'm glad I waited. What a beautiful combination of restoration and custom mod. I'm a street toy guy and I would have sworn that the factory built it. Hats off to the team on this one.
Thanks from your "Street Toy fan"💚
Keep them coming Lou 👍👍
Hi Pat, Happy to read you enjoy this "Street Toy" :-) You're welcome, Lou

Only one word to describe it STUNNING
High praise :-)
Top quality craftsmanship has created a beautifully proportioned Woodie that is stunning to look at and also also quite Usable ( if you were prepared to risk those perfect finishes ! )
High praise :-)
the attention to detail on this car is amazing from the wood to the engine love it
Happy to read you enjoy the attention to detail on this car :-)
Such a beautiful restoration! I've always liked Woodies, and the entire time you gentlemen were driving I couldn't help but focus on that ceiling of wood.
Hi hcombs0104, You're right, that wood ceiling is amazing, Lou
Noticed interior by Steve Holcomb tag modestly back and below the dash. Always hits it out of the park
Amazing interior for sure.
Made
With love. Thank you
Nice :-) You're welcome.
“ “ “ We’re loadin’ up our Woodie with the boards inside, and heading’ out singing our song “ “ “ !!

Lou you always amaze me with the cars you find, this Auburn is absolutely beautiful what a work of art!
Hi Brian, Happy to share this "work of art!" with you :-) Lou
Es que el estilo de los autos americanos hasta 1970 eran piezas de diseño arquitectónico de finido ,de 1970 para acá los diseñadores se inspiraron en las cucarachas ,hasta llegar ahora que son grandes y feas cucarachas de lata
@@loucostabile Lou creí que nunca más volvería a ver una auto como este Saluda de mi parte a su orgulloso dueño de esta hermosa pieza de arte clasico
Wow!!!!! What an EPIC car!!!! Just love everything about it!!! Fantastic!!!! Chef’s Kiss 😚!!!
High praise.

Lou this has to be the most interesting car I've ever seen on M.C.S. It's like a combination of a factory prototype, a custom car, a Hot Rod, and a restoration. The only thing that's missing is you saying "and it's got the right amount of pedals"! I must have paused this video 20 times just to soak in all the details on this car. You've outdone yourself with this one Lou.
Hi Tom & JudyAnn, High praise :-) Lou
A really awesome Woodie, they don’t come any better. ❤
High praise :-)
Love the Auburn! 😍
NICE!
Fantastic Woodwork - Gorgeous Car !

Hi Larry, I agree. This one looks showroom new and exactly what a Woodie should look like, Lou
Awsome!!! thx so much Lou!!!!
Hi MegaWhitemaster, My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
My great grandfather was the president of The Auburn Car Company, in it's later years. James Indus Farley. After The Auburn Car Co. Stopped production in 1937, (It never closed!!!), Farley served 2 terms in congress. He is buried across the street from The Auburn Museum in Auburn, Indiana.
What a neat heritage!
Thank you for sharing James.
Thanks to the owner for the vision and getting it perfectly executed. Let me push my eyes back in the sockets, okay, and yes i can see those heart shaped fenders, thanks to the builder who will never have a work shortage, and thanks for Lou's supercharged radar detector that somehow finds these gems to brings us "my car story.". . . :>/

Not my type of thing but what an amazing car. You can’t help but admire it. If it could I would ask for an autograph.
Happy to read "You can’t help but admire it." :-)
I never knew Auburn built, or were built into, wagons....fascinating.
Hi 67marlins, Happy to share this one with you :-) Lou
Best Woodie in America and the World
High praise :-)
❤ another dream for an old hippie 😂
Nice!
Truly amazing piece of rolling furniture. As tall as he is I was concerned that if he hit a bump he would smack his head on the crosspiece on the ceiling!!
Hi Rich, "Truly amazing piece of rolling furniture"....thanks for making me smile! Lou
Spectacular!
High praise :-)
Beautiful.

Thank you Brother Steve.....and what do you think of the car?
@@loucostabile 👏👏👏
Go away.
I'm sorry to say this but God can't and won't fix the way the world is. Only the people can.
This is amazing! This is a car that SHOULD have been built at Union City or Connorsville, IN. BTW…Union City Body, Lycoming and Columbia, the maker of the dual-ratio rear end, were companies of the Cord Corporation empire. Lycoming (in PA) was also the builder of all of the Duesenberg Model J and Cord V8 engines.

What a sweet exhaust note. Wood has an incredible finish better than wood boat brightwork…like Riva showboats! Auburn would have loved this car! Are brakes hydraulic? Mechanical? Thanks Lou!!!,
Hi M A, Happy to read you enjoy the sounds and looks of this car :-) Hmmm, not sure about the brakes. Maybe a Viewer can share knowledge. You're welcome, Lou
Hydraulic brakes
@@The35speedster That makes me feel better. Thanks! Beautiful car
Never underestimate the power of prayer it could have been someone's prayer that God answered that saved your Life Praise God Praying for Everyone Everyday God Bless You All
AMEN.
You are absolutely correct.
Absolutely gorgeous. What is the color/code?

Closest color is going to be 1934 Auburn Royal blue. In 1936 Auburn had powder blue. Now this is not to say many shades existed per year, after all Buick had 48 shades in 1930! but, from the information handed, I can't say or deny that there is a similar color to this.
Wow!
:-)
❤ face like disney’s pluto 🙋♀️ 🇫🇷
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
That is a beautiful interpretation of what an Auburn Estate Wagon would look like. Undoubtedly better constructed than the factory could do.
Thanks.well, maybe: fortunately we have incredibly impressive tools, vehicle fluids, *& some knowledge increases, however; some of original OEM (* esp DUESENBERG were made to Win at Indy, & no cost soared, etc)..Seems like some of ACD VEHICLES are Art Creations..
High praise :-)
Foul play. what could the factory not do? To be moral enough to have a assembly line low paid workmanship that aren't artisans put this together for you, I would be congratulating their beauty, not bragging about how modern day could put it together better.., that being people in a workshop that are individually only putting yours together with a high price at the end.
In fact, most 1936 Auburn sedans (the few that were made) were put together beautifully out of factory, that isn't exactly a cheap sedan..and nor was any sedan at the time.
A work of art, that can also survive any condition for a paramount of years should immediately have your vote and consideration.
Normally, I am not in favor of modifying vintage cars. I don't like turning old rare cars into hot rods, using modern engines, and drive train parts. I think old rare cars should be restored to the way they were as they came off the production line. Having said that, this car is an exception to the rule. It is very well done, the woodwork is absolutely beautiful. I also am a fan of bridges, having worked a good share of my career in roar and bridge design. I liked the one lane bridge. There are less and less of those around I use to drive on one near Rochester, Indiana. It was a truss bridge over a river on old US 31.
Hi Daniel, Happy to read you appreciate "this car is an exception to the rule." :-) Lou
It's the tires for me, it's like mixing a 1930 Spoke with a 1960 Tire set. All sorts of offputting. Everything else is very well done, although I'll mention that the wood working on the back would not sweep past the fender typically, they loved having the fenders flush with the back cradle of the automobile (only exception was those fun trunks in 1934-37).
👍💯😍💯👍
:-)
Did I read that right, only 407 miles?
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
Not driven much since it was assembled
I’ll bet that car cost him 300k easy
No idea.
Wow ! That car is absolutely Awsome ! Almost unbelievable....😮 Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
HI Steve from New Zealand, Happy to read "Wow ! That car is absolutely Awsome ! Almost unbelievable...." :-) My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
