Overview

With its sweeping curves, shimmering chrome, and audacious engineering, the Auburn Automobile Company captured the spirit of an era defined by both glamour and hardship. From humble beginnings as a wagon builder in northern Indiana, Auburn rose to national acclaim under the dynamic leadership of Errett Lobban Cord, producing some of the most beautiful and technologically advanced cars of the early twentieth century. The company's daring designs-including the legendary Auburn Speedster-offered Americans a vision of speed, luxury, and progress during a time when the world teetered on economic collapse. Auburn: Speed, Style, and the Great Depression tells the complete story of this remarkable brand, tracing its meteoric rise, its innovations in styling and performance, and its ultimate downfall in the shadow of the Great Depression. It is a story not only of automobiles but of ambition, resilience, and the fragile nature of success. Drawing solely on verifiable historical fact, this meticulously crafted narrative brings to life the people, the machines, and the cultural landscape that made Auburn a lasting icon in automotive history.
