Another of the very fine old cars that are on display in the new Gasoline Alley building at Heritage Park. This is such a spectacular display of vehicles, old gasoline pumps and more, and definitely worth a visit.
"The elegance, speed and price tag of Auburns made them a popular choice for car lovers of the 1930s. This V12 was the first 12-cylinder car to sell for under $1,000 - a very modest price at the time. The 1931 straight-eight engine was beefed up in 1932 with a new 6.4-litre V12 engine, and both cars benefited from the speed and power offered by a dual-ration rear axle. The Auburn line did not survive the economic hardship of the Depression." From the plaque that was in this exhibit.
