Ken, I will share a few more details. The Lincoln was a two year project, but won three national firsts. Drove it often in the Class Car Club of America caravans in the Midwest. The Auburn is also a replica. An individual, whose name I cannot remember, bought out Auburn's inventory when they went bankrupt many years ago. He moved the parts to Broken Arrow, OK, and started reproducing the body parts as well as the chrome plated brass parts. It was a real challenge to put it all together. I purchased the Mercedes replica from Heritage Motors in Florida, which came in a box on 28,000 parts, including screws. Outstanding instructions made it a fun project. Today it is in storage in Mexico and has a total of 3,000 miles on it. Thanks for your interest. I am getting too old at 78 to build any more. Just pushing my Newell around the Western states.
