September 11, 2019 -- 1926 Auburn 8-88
.
The 8-88 series was introduced in 1925 as the first line of Auburns developed under the direction of E.L Cord. Mr. Cord was not satisfied with a mere up-to-date design, he wanted to establish Auburn as a marque of distinction. The introduction of the hood and body moldinq, a reasonably priced eiqht cylinder line, and multi-colored paint schemes set Auburn apart from other automobiles.
In 1926 the average automobile manufacturer had a sales increase of one percent; Auburn had in the same time period an increase of fifty-two percent. Note the third door on this roadster which allowed for easier passenger access to the rumble seat.

on September 11, 2019Very snazzy looking car. Sobering to reflect that many of the most forward thinking automobile designers didn't survive the rigors of the market place.
