This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.

Fords from the 1930s are becoming quite desirable in terms of retromod platforms. With their gangster movie looks and quirky styling, these cars have a sort of allure to them that many enthusiasts of restomods seem to seek. However, it’s not always easy to find a ʼ30s Ford that’s worthy of restomod treatment. Some cars may be too far deteriorated to be restored, others might be lovingly-restored to original form and thus it would be a crime to restomod them. That’s why outfits such as Factory Five exist. Popularly known for their Shelby Cobra replicas, this company also makes replicas of other vehicles. One prime example of their excellent work is this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod with 6,498 miles on the clock. If you want a car that looks like a ʼ30s Ford that’s been restomodded, but comes with a modern powertrain and convenience features, this New York-based car is your best bet.
