DeSoto is an American brand that you’ve likely never heard of, especially if you were born in the 1970s or later. Formed in 1912, it subsequently became a Chrysler Corporation marque, and was seen up to 1961. Based in Auburn, Indiana, DeSoto was known for creating well-built automobiles, as well as trucks. Today, we have a 1931 DeSoto S-13 for sale from Upland, California. This 109,000-mile vintage car comes with a 6-cylinder engine, a stick shift, and the owner’s manual as well. Hence, its ideal for someone who wishes to collect quirky American vintage cars from defunct brands – and such people are very important because they help preserve long-forgotten bits of our country’s grand automotive history!

The 1932 Ford line-up took over from the popular Model A, and ran until 1934. It was offered with many body styles and produced not only in the United States, but many other places as well. In fact, if one were to categorize the locations where the 1932 Ford was produced, it would cover all the continents save for Antarctica! As time went by, these cars found a new purpose, as customized hot rods, rat rods and restomods too. That’s what this 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster is. With a frame-off restoration and a Corvette engine, this car is a fine choice for someone who likes to diverge and stand out, rather than run with the herd.

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.
