Nothing. Auburn wasn't an ultra premium brand, but had more style and class than many other domestic makes.

Nothing. There is no equal to the Auburn, Cord or Duesenberg in this age. Unless you can get Rolls Royce to build you a chassis with drive train and have Carrozzeria Touring build the body you'll be left wanting.

I want to say nothing, but the Rembrandt Bugatti comes to mind for no reason other than color.

Closest style wise Morgan aero coupe

How about this lady? Caddy may have hit the high water mark a couple years ago as the newer models are watered down/less edgy focus group cars.

Pretty good. I googled and they all seem plain grey or silver or white. Probably more of a reflection of conservative owners.

I fell in love with Mrs. Kreb's Supercharged '36 on Remington Steele when I was a kid.

I would say there really isn't a direct modern analogue, but I guess a Spyker comes close.

Yes, they.just.need.to.make.it. It's funny because Skay just said she likes the ats-v on the FP.... Caddy has some mojo right night if they don't focus group the edge out of their cars. Do miss the Led Zeppelin ads though.
