James Cagney's 1934 V12 Auburn on ebay (not gonna sell I bet)

the write up and auction: Jimmy Cagney's 1934 Auburn via the very cool website http://www.bangshift.com/blog/eBay-Find-Jimmy-Cagney-s-1934-Auburn-Cabriolet.html

They want $300,000, I doubt anyone is going to want it that bad. Cagney made a movie with it, and it's a great car, but when you tie up a 1/3rd of a million dollars, and it's not a good investment in light of car values having lost the crazy auction prices brought on by speculative real estate imaginary values.

Compare this to James Hetfield's 36 Auburn speedster: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/metallicas-lead-singer-james-hetfields.html I like them both, and if you wanted the ultimate, you'd combine them and make one better than wither

Metallica's lead singer James Hetfield's Auburn boat tail speedster at the 2010 GNRS

I photographed this at SEMA, but the lighting was so lousy there, and these turned out much better, at the Grand National Roadster show they appreciate space around the cars to allow for photogrpahy, and it keeps people from getting close and touching the cars, without stantions and ropes. These photos are far better than the SEMA shots: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/james-hetfields-boat-tail-speedster.html

James Hetfield's boat tail speedster Auburn

These photos suck becuse of the lousy lighting at SEMA, for very good photos of this car, see the GNRS gallery:http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/metallicas-lead-singer-james-hetfields.html

The lighting in the Vegas Convention center are terrible for photographing dark colored vehicles, so I'm posting light and dark photos with the idea that one will be better, but I can't decide which one it is.

for other customs that James has had made and put on the show car circuit: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/04/metallica-musicians-are-hot-rodders.html
