1910 Auburn Model S

Auburn's largest line of vehicles produced in 1910 was the 40 Series, of which included Model S Roadster. The four-cylinder Auburns were built in two series in 1910, the Model B touring car, and the 40 series which came as a roadster, a touring car, and a baby tonneau. Auburn also continued its line of two-cylinder cars, which continued to have enough demand to justify its continuation.

This roadster has a 'mother-in-law' seat. It is powered by a four-cylinder, water-cooled engine that displaces 318 cubic inches and produces forty horsepower. The wheelbase measures 116 inches and it weighs 2400 pounds. The price of this car when new was $1,650.

For 1910, the total United States automobile production rose to 181,000, of which 1,365 were Auburns.
