Artifact Overview
Auburn Automobile Company, based in namesake city Auburn, Indiana, began regular automobile production in 1903. The cars were a moderate success until Errett Lobban Cord took the helm in 1924. He gave Auburn's models fresh styling and advanced engineering, turning the company around. But the Great Depression reversed Cord's sales gains and Auburn ended production in 1937.
