1932 Auburn 8-100A Custom Speedster

Description

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting and stylish offerings in-period, the Al-Leamy-designed Auburn Speedster would incorporate a radically-tapered rear end which gave the Auburn a similar appearance to a road-going speedboat, hence the Boattail nickname. Available with either an eight or twelve-cylinder engine, this elegant design was typically paired with artful features such as a contrasting paint scheme and chrome accents while the high-cowl and rear-hinged doors gave the Speedster a sporty flair that captured the public's imagination. As a result of the beautiful design, many have chosen to place the original boattail design available on their own Auburn chassis.
