Launched at the beginning of 1935, the Auburn 851 was made famous by Ab Jenkins who completed a 12-hour drive averaging over 100 mph in a completely stock Supercharged Speedster. To commemorate this record, all Supercharged Speedsters had a plaque mounted on the dashboard. In its first year the 851 sold incredibly well with a production run of close to 5,000 cars. For 1936 very little changed, but for marketing reasons, the model was renamed the 852. This 852 Supercharged Speedster is the second to last built and is the only known model to survive with its original wooden frame forming the boattail body.
