My grandfather graduated high school in 1932 and my great grandparents gave him this car. Does anyone know what kind of car this is? I had always heard Auburn. This picture was taken in front of the family home, where my wife and I live. My great aunt is in the driver's seat and would be 11 years old. That is great grandmother standing in the yard looking on.

JW_Mason, Cool. :-)
I'm definitely no automobile expert, but here's a similar-looking Auburn:

So, doing the math, your grandfather was probably about five years old when they bought that house in 1919. Have you looked at your printing plate post lately?
No, I wondered if he possibly worked at a local print shop or possibly the Ford dealer here in town. If walls could talk.
Looks like a 1931 Chrysler 6..

Thank you. A beautiful car. I believe Grandpa ended up at Chrysler for a period of time.
JW_Mason, If your grandfather had indeed worked at a local print shop or Ford dealership, and acquired that print plate through his employer, then it likely was already a 'vintage' item.
dav2no1, Wow, the 1931 Chrysler CM6 was kind of a special animal:

Very nice Car and info,,,I sure wish I had great grandparents like that
Vynil33rpm,
Your name suggests that you are a record collector. What state are you in?
78s?
JW I am in New Orleans
music was around me my entire life
I collect 78s ,45s ,,33s
Classical ,opera ,jazz ,rock ,show tunes
75% of my collection is rock
Mr. Thomas is also a record collector
although he hasn’t posted
Many records recently
OK, I have some 78s that I would like to clean and play, they were in the 1st house I bought in 1985. I now have a direct drive turntable that will play 78s. Any tips on proper cleaning techniques?
