For Sale: 1925 Studebaker Duplex Phaeton in Auburn, California for sale in Auburn, CA
Vehicle Description I am selling this Studebaker which was purchased by my father in 1978 and restored by him in the early 1990's.
As a part of the restoration, the engine was completely rebuilt including having the crankshaft ground and babbitt bearings repoured.
The car runs great and has been driven on many car tours and parades.
With a powerful inline six cylinder engine and four wheel brakes, the car handles well on hilly backroads.
I inherited the car but found I lost interest in driving old cars since my father passed away and need to sell the car to have more garage space.
The car is 100% owned by myself and I have a clean title in hand.
My experience with the Studebaker was to tag along on Model T tours organized by my parents who were very active with the Motherlode Model T club.
The tours were generally multi-day trips on backroads in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The Studebaker was a real pleasure to drive with ample power for mountain driving.
On one tour that had a long steep climb up out of a canyon, one Model T without a Ruckstell rear end did not have adequate power to climb the grade so I used a tow strap and the Studebaker pulled the Model T up the grade.
Overall the car is in excellent condition and looks very nice.
The leather seats show wear with a few cracks and split seams.
The tires have a lot of tread and look to be in good condition but are many years old.
Dad with his mechanical engineering background added an oil filter and an electric fuel pump but otherwise everything appears original.
The car comes with a spare engine, radiator, hood and a lot of other parts.
Also an extensive collection of manuals and Studebaker books.
