1927 Auburn 6-66A

The Auburn Automobile Company was not only innovative in its styling and technology, but also a pioneer in automotive utility. The company sales literature illustrated the amazing possibilities: “along some cool byway, by some lake or stream, to raise the catches, drop the front seat backward.” It provides “Deluxe Sleeping Accommodations While Enroute on Tours, Hunting, or Camping Excursions.” Introduced in 1925, the Wanderer was a $50.00 option on all sedan models. There was even one open touring car which received this exciting feature. With the small number of roadside motels and the increasing mobility of Americans, Auburn hoped this additional model would entice the buying public to choose “Auburn, America’s Fastest Stock Car.”

It has a wheelbase of 120 inches and a weight of 3,070 lbs.
