1932 Auburn 12-160A Navigation
This Auburn Coupe is one of only four known to exist. The Auburn twelve cylinder line was introduced in 1932 and was the least expensive twelve-cylinder automobile ever marketed. The Auburn Company had hoped that marketing a twelve-cylinder vehicle in a price class of eights would be the key to its success. Unfortunately, the car never sold in sufficient numbers.
