1932 Auburn 12-160<\/h1>\n
\n

Auburn turned the industry on its ear with a new V12 for 1932. Designed by chief engineer George Kublin, it utilized a narrow, 45-degree vee with horizontal valves in the heads, operated by a single camshaft through rockers. It developed 160 bhp from 391 cubic inches, more efficient than Packard or Lincoln. Priced from $1,105, it was an incredible bargain.<\/span><\/p>\n

1932 Auburn Custom 12-160A Phaeton Sedan<\/a> –<\/b><\/p>\n

Restored nearly a decade ago, this Auburn Twelve Phaeton Sedan retains its natural beauty. The two-tone red color scheme with orange pinstriping is attractive, and the paint has held up well. All panels show a good fit. The tan canvas top fits well and is complemented by a matching cover for the rear-mounted trunk. The car is fitted with Trippe driving lights, which are in excellent condition. The dual side-mount spares are uncovered and carry mirrors at the top.<\/div>\n
