or call (610) 235-24161936 Auburn 852 Supercharged Boattail Speedster, offered by Reimel Motor Cars
Pre-war classics are bought by people who study them: chassis and engine numbers, coachbuilder, known ownership history and awards. We have sold Packard, Auburn, Cord, Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza and Mercedes-Benz cars of the era to exactly those buyers.
If you own one, we will give you a straight answer on value based on real recent sales, not a trade-in number. We can make a direct offer and pay by wire once the title and paperwork are in order, pay off your lender directly, or sell the car for you on consignment, including on Bring a Trailer, where we are an Official Local Partner. Reimel Motor Cars has sold 8 pre-war classics and has 1 available now, with final prices for 1 auction listed below.
What we're looking for
Packard, Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg, Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and other coachbuilt and Full Classic cars, plus Brass-era antiques. Tell us about any pre-war car.

Do you buy pre-war classic cars outright?
Yes. We can make a direct offer and pay by wire once the title and paperwork are in order, or consign the car if that would get you more.
Should I sell my pre-war classic on Bring a Trailer?
Often, yes, for a well-documented car with a story to tell. We are an Official Bring a Trailer Local Partner and manage the whole auction: prep, photos, the listing, bidder questions and the close. For some cars a private sale to a collector we know is the better route, and we will tell you which and why.
What affects my pre-war classic's value?
Coachbuilder and body style, matching chassis and engine numbers, documented ownership history, the quality and age of any restoration, and concours awards.
Where are you, and do you buy out of state?
Wayne, Pennsylvania, on the Philadelphia Main Line. We buy nationwide and arrange enclosed transport.
