1935 Auburn Model 851 Navigation
The Auburn Phaeton was a four-door convertible with roll-up windows and offered in all seven of Auburn's model lines. This example is finished in maroon over a tan leather interior with a matching tan soft-top. Power is sourced from a 280 cubic-inch Lycoming straight-eight engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission. There are Trippe headlights, dual side-mounted spare tires, and color-matched wheels with wide whitewall tires.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2022
