The Auburn Company was owned by E.L. Cord, whose Cord Corporation owned a number of companies including Duesenberg, Inc. and Stinson Aircraft.
Six different body styles were available on the 8-98-A Custom 127-inch wheelbase chassis, including this two-door brougham. The inline eight motor, which offered 98 horsepower, was built by Lycoming Motors, another subsidiary of the Cord Corporation.
This Auburn was completely restored by its owner, with the exception of the upholstery and chrome.
