Hi Tobs

Your grandfather had good taste in cars as a young buck! Auburns were considered fast cars and more stylish with their Al Leamy styling and boat-tailed speedster models.

The Twelves really were early muscle cars, high horsepower engines in relatively light chassis. Best part for someone young with a few bucks to spend, once they were orphans, they were dirt cheap as used cars.

I hope your mother can recall some details about his Auburn. Who knows, maybe this was a Twelve he bought for little scratch, had a ball with.

Packards or not, we love to see period photos of cars people owned then, especially when its something unique. See what else is in that old photos box.
