At the upcoming Mecum Dallas 2024 auction, a rare gem will take center stage: the 1933 Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster. This exceptional vehicle, one of only 14 ever produced, is expected to draw significant attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Speedster, finished in striking red with a black interior, boasts an original Lycoming 391 CI V-12 engine, generating 160 horsepower.
The Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster is celebrated not only for its limited production but also for its unique history. It remains one of only five known to exist, with a notable past of meticulous preservation. The vehicle has been in the Kelsey family for over 58 years, following its purchase by Paul Kelsey in October 1966. The car’s odometer reads a modest 20,433 miles, reflecting its well-preserved state.
The Speedster’s storied history includes a fascinating, though unverifiable, association with Hollywood legend Clark Gable. While this connection remains speculative, it adds an intriguing layer to the car’s provenance. The vehicle’s history is documented with correspondence from the Auburn factory dating back to 1937, and it has been featured in the ACD Newsletter issues of March 1967 and June 1968.
This Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster stands out for its pristine condition, having undergone only one repaint in the 1960s. It features a classic 3-speed manual transmission, dual downdraft carburetors, and chrome knock-off wire wheels, enhancing its vintage appeal. With its combination of rarity, historical significance, and original parts, this Speedster is set to be a highlight of the Dallas auction.
For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of automotive history, the 1933 Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously preserved classic.

Dallas weather: Storms return this week with large hail and tornado threat
DALLAS – North Texans will enjoy a brief break today before the next weather system arrives, bringing multiple rounds of storms. A warmup is on the way, with temperatures climbing back into the mid-80s by the weekend.
Monday Forecast
Following a few morning showers in the eastern counties, expect a warm and breezy Monday. High temperatures will climb into the low 80s under partly cloudy skies.
Tuesday Forecast
As an upper-level low-pressure system moves to the west, scattered storms will move into the region Tuesday afternoon. Some of these storms could become severe, with the primary threats being large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
Simultaneously, storms are expected to develop ahead of a dryline to the west. While the tornado threat remains low in this area, any storms that form could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts.
7-Day Forecast
Those overnight storms should push out to the east by Wednesday morning, but don’t put the umbrella away just yet. As the main weather system moves directly over us Wednesday afternoon, we’ll likely see another round of scattered storms that could still bring with some hail. Once everything finally clears out Wednesday evening, we can look forward to some drier, much more comfortable air moving back into the area.
Thursday will be noticeably cooler, with high temperatures settling in the mid-60s. However, sunshine and a quick warmup are expected by the weekend. Temperatures will rebound into the 80s on Friday and Saturday.
