Auburn 851 Speedster

 To a public weary of the depression, the new Auburn Speedster was automotive hope personified. Here was a car everyone could identify with, dream about, and wish for. It became,  the rolling icon of the art deco era and appeared in many Hollywood movies. 

Auburn 851 Speedsters did not just look fast, they were fast. To prove this, famed race driver Ab Jenkins sat behind the wheel of an 851 Speedster and was the first American to set a 100 MPH average for a 12-hour period endurance record in a completely stock 851SC speedster.
