Auburn introduced a redesigned line of cars in 1934. Al Leamy created the design of the 850Y. This marked a transition from the boxy 1920s cars to the more streamlined late 1930s cars. Some Art Deco-inspired design elements include the fender skirts, a raked windshield, an enclosed radiator, and an integral trunk.
Many items that were previously options were now standard, such as freewheeling, a precursor to overdrive. The unit was provided by the LGS Company, which was a subsidiary of the Cord Corporation. E.L. Cord's empire included many companies related to transportation. These included Stinson Aircraft and American Airways, which later became American Airlines.
The current owner's father found this car partially disassembled. The restoration took several years and made its restoration debut at the 2014 Concours d'Elegance of America at St. Johns.
