Like its predecessor, the 12-161 had a capable Lycoming V12 engine and opulent styling with striking two-tone paint schemes. They were also very well priced, offering ample power and sophistication for only $1,245 USD in 1933.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the Auburn 12 was undoubtedly its engine which produced 160 bhp and enough torque to move even the heaviest bodies with ease. This was attached to a free-wheeling differential that disengaged the engine when the throttle was released. Furthermore the 12 was also equipped with an overdrive &#8216;Dual-Ratio&#8217; axle gear that allowed for high top speeds and reduced fuel consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Special features of the chassis 12 included Bijur chassis lubrication, Houdaille shock absorbers and a re-useable Purolator oil filter.<\/p>\n<p>The very best bodystyle fitted to the Auburn 12 was the Boattail Speedster of which 14 were built in 1933. Other bodies included included executive sedans and limousines.<\/p>\n<p>In 1933, Auburn debuted the 12-165 Salon models that were substantially upgraded and are easily identified by their updated V-shaped radiator with a painted shroud that concealed the radiator cap. The Auburn badge was also repositioned to the bumpers which were reshaped. Furthermore, the engine mounts were switched to biscuit-type to reduce drive train vibration. At the front a new A-frame was fitted to increase torsional rigidity. The braking system received vacuum power assist and that had four different settings for dry weather, rain, snow and ice.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div
