I recently saw that this car is in the list of “top ten highest prices cars” or somesuch. I photographed it at the Amelia Island Concours in 2004. An amazing machine… it is HUGE.

Even before reading your article links, tha tis *UNMISTADELY* the Mormon Meteor…and *man,* am I jealous you got to see it live! Someday!
Um..make that UNMISTAKEDLY…;))) Also, Ab enkins Drove an Auburn Speedster to its 24 hour record of (I think) 104 MPH average. There is a plate affixed to the passenger side dash panel in all 1935-’36 Sppedsters attesting to the (alleged) fact that Jenkins drove each and every one of the 125 produced…I’m not so sure…;)
Seeing was not as wonderful as HEARING it start and drive. What wonderful music that big straight eight and steamship exhaust make!
I’ll add some other pictures to the post.

I heard it run probably 10 years or so ago at the Meadowbrook Concours d’Elegance. I was on the opposite side of the show at the time and it still made everyone including myself jump a couple inches. Still the loudest car I’ve heard this side of a dragway.
Indeed it is Chris.
