Cole Harju's 1926 Austin Seven
1926 Austin Seven owned by Cole Harju of Bessemer, Michigan. Cole's Austin is a one-off build that features bodywork by Bohman & Schwartz.[1]
Mischa Bauer?
Cole purchased the car from his neighbor in 2022. The neighbor had owned it for 30+ years and had done a ton of restoration work on it. In May of 2022, Cole told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama that the Austin Seven was rumored to be one of a kind built back in the 1930s for Hollywood actor Mischa Auer by Bohman & Schwartz of Pasadena. Cole is currently researching the Auer lead and the history of the car. Please get in touch with Kustomrama at mail@kustomrama.com if you have any info to share. Any leads or information would be greatly appreciated.
