1931 Auburn 8-98A Boat Tail Speedster project. Let me start off by saying that this is not a from the factory Boat Tail Speedster. Having looked for years for a Boat tail speedster we ended up purchasing a 1931 Auburn 8-98 A Cabriolet, car was very complete and in need of a full restoration. A few years later we were able to buy a correct coach built boat tail body out of a estate sale from a ACD club member along with other Auburn parts. The choice was made to pull the Cabriolet body and place the boat tail body on the 1931 8-98A frame. The Cabriolet body with the unused parts and V-12 engines were sold to a guy for his restoration project. So again this is a 1931 Auburn 8-98A Cabriolet with a correct coach built speedster body placed on the frame. Boat tail body is all steel with all the correct wood structure inside. This is most likely the closest thing you will find any more to a boat tail speedster project, they are just not out there any more. We have all the gauges, wood convertible bows, convertible irons, seat frames, handles and latches. The only parts that are missing are the spare tire hold down brackets, bumper brackets and the crank hole cover, and those parts are reproduced in the ACD club.
