The 1936 Auburn 852 Phaeton was powered by an inline Lycoming eight-cylinder engine. Fitted with a supercharger, this motor is capable of producing 150 horsepower. The wheelbase measures 127 inches. The supercharged phaeton was priced at $1725.
The Auburn 852 was the company's last hurrah for the Auburn Automobile Company. As was the case with many of the independent manufacturers, their final products were often among their best. The styling, introduced in 1935, was the last Gordon Buehrig-designed Auburn line to see production. Sales of the Alan Leamy-designed Auburns were sluggish, and production of the 1934 line was ended mid-year. Gordon Buehrig was given the task of designing and implementing the new 1935 line with a budget of just $50,000. Using the basic design of 1934, Buehrig changed the front end and the hood removing the Auburn design hallmark of the hood molding. The result was the elegant, graceful, and smooth design that was carried through to the 1936 Auburn line.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2010
