1932 Auburn 8-100A Navigation
Auburn built various Speedster models through the years. Designed by Alan Leamy, whose other works included the Cord L-29, production of 8-100s spanned from 1928 through 1936, though none were built in 1930 or 1934. Auburn built only about 75 Speedster models in 1932, and today the 8-100A is one of the most desirable Auburn models.
It was named for its 268-cubic inch, eight-cylinder inline Lycoming engine that generated 100 horsepower. The basic Speedster went for just $845, but the 'A' of 8-100A designated a custom-built model. For an additional $50, Auburn would paint a buyer's car in any color combination desired. The result is this stunning example.
Sometime shortly after WWII, the original Auburn engine was removed from this car and replaced with a 1,000 cubic-inch Hall-Scott motor from a World War II tan retriever. Hall-Scott was a manufacturer of gas-powered rail cars. The company also developed the valve system for Duesenberg racing engines in 1921.
