Some of the greatest American automobiles ever produced were sparked by the Great Depression. Among them were Auburn's 12-cylinder Salon models launched in 1933. This was a desperate attempt to improve sales of the slow-selling Auburn Twelve. The Salon Twelve boasted numerous unique features, most visibly a new racing-style V-shaped grille, unique headlamp lenses, fenders edged in chrome, and the iconic 'ribbon' bumpers. It was also built on a specially strengthened chassis with adjustable vacuum-boosted brakes. These were not only the best-looking 12-cylinder Auburns but also the most expensive and luxurious.
The Model 1250 carries a 160 horsepower, 391 cubic inches horizontal-valve V-12 engine, three-speed manual transmission, solid front axle, live two-speed rear axle, front and rear semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension, and four-wheel vacuum-assisted hydraulic disc brakes.
