California Custom Coach unveils the Model 876 at SEMA

Classic look, modern performance, California Custom Coach unveils the Model 876 at SEMA, Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada – The California Custom Coach 876, a tribute to the 1935-1936 Auburn Speedster, was unveiled at SEMA in Las Vegas, November 1st.

The decade of the 1930’s was an era of magnificent ocean liners, big bands, black tuxedos, voluptuous furniture styling… and splendid automobiles that proudly thundered down the narrow roads and the sweeping drives of estates and country clubs. In short, the 30’s were an era of class. And the classiest automobile of all was the Auburn Boattail Speedster. Today, obtaining one of the 500 or so built between 1935 and 1936 – less than 200 survived – is nearly impossible.

The California Custom Coach Model 876 unveiled at SEMA blends Gordon Buehrig’s iconic design with modern technology. In 1935, oak and steel combined in a fluid shape so arresting that it lives on. Today oak and steel coexist with composite materials and modern American engineering. While the soft-top headers and bows are still hand-made of oak, the re- engineered chassis and new choices of suspension, powertrain and convenience result in performance and luxury found in modern sports cars.

Each Model 876 is made to order letting the customer create a unique car. The interior is tailored in the finest Connolly leather in a choice of 167 different single and two-tone combinations. Floors are carpeted with the world’s finest automotive grade Wilton wool to harmonize or contrast with the leather selection. Exterior finish is available in over 200 single and two tone combinations in the most durable automotive finish. Each car takes between four to six months from order to delivery.

Quality and attention to detail supplement customization of each Model 876. The side exhaust pipes are real working headers, not merely for decoration. The windshield frame and other exterior trim pieces are solid bronze castings covered with restoration quality triple chrome. Art and engineering combine to make each Model 876 stand out in today’s uniform luxury car world.

The California Custom Coach 876 is now available for order.
