Auto manufacturer Auburn was in trouble on and off through the 1920s and 1930s. They decided to up the ante with a supercharged straight eight of 4.6 liters (280 cubic inches) giving 150 hp (up from 115 hp). Auburn models 851 also had a two-speed rear axle (one for acceleration, the other for cruising and top speed).
This is a 1935 851 Speedster.
