Automobile enthusiasts Baron Jr. Miles, and Sam Collier of New York’s Collier Advertising dynasty
were instrumental in forming the Automobile Racing Club of America in the 1930s. This 1932 Auburn
Speedster was owned by Sam Collier, who nicknamed the car “Beelzebub.” The vehicle was modified for
racing by adding the small windshields, a large tachometer, additional lamps, and the copper cooling
coil on top of the radiator.

The vehicle was road raced in Europe in 1933 against smaller cars such as MGs, Bugattis, and Ford
Model A's. In 1936, Sam raced it at the Cotton Carnival Road Race in Memphis, Tennessee, where he
took top honors for the Touring Class. In 1937, Sam’s brother, Baron Jr., sped to a second-place
overall victory in the Climb to the Clouds race held on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
