1930 Auburn Convertible Sedan
Add to SetSummary
The Auburn Automobile Company, based in namesake Auburn, Indiana, built its first car in 1900. The firm was a moderate success until Errett Lobban Cord took the helm in 1924. He gave the Auburn modern styling and advanced engineering, and he turned the mid-priced car into a genuine hit. The Great Depression reversed Cord's sales gains and Auburn folded in 1937.
