1934 Auburn 1250 Twelve Salon Speedster

  • Chassis Number: 1122E
  • Engine Number: BB 2530
This Auburn Twelve Salon Speedster was part of the Malcolm S. Pray Jr. Collection. It has Alan Leamy's 'boattail' styling which features chrome trim, unique headlamps, a unique dashboard, and the Salon 'ribbon' bumpers. It is believed that only nine examples were produced by the factory in Auburn, Indiana.

This car has an original Salon Twelve chassis, its original engine, and an original Auburn eight-cylinder speedster body. It was given an intensive restoration that was performed for its former owner, Gordon Apker, in the early 1970s. The car's original chassis number, 1122A, was modified to read 1122E, with 'E' being correct for a factory speedster. The car retains the correct original Salon fenders with their stainless trim, Salon headlamp lenses, as well as the stainless hood louver adornments.

In 1980, this Speedster was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it was awarded Best in Class. It was then brought across the United States to Auburn, Indiana, where it was awarded Best Auburn at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club's National Reunion.
