It affords more room, comfort and refinements. It gives full advantages of a really fine BIG car. Not cramped or cheapened in any way. It holds the road better, handles easier and performs smoother. It is a safer car to ride in and a more durable car to invest in. If this sounds exaggerated, remember we put it entirely up to the car itself to prove all of these claims. You will find improvements found in no other car under $1000. You will find ad vantages you thought were obtainable only in high priced cars. You will find that if the car does not sell itself you will not be asked to buy. 120.incli wheelbase Lycoming motor; SrronRcst of frames 7 Indies deep!

A factory cannot rest on yesterday's success. It must excel itself anew or lag behind. Auburn forges farther in front with this new Series Straight Eight. Auburn's far-sighted program, coupled with our policy of passing back to the consumer the benefits of Auburn's growth, enable us to shatter all precedent by introducing this, the most astonishing Eight cylinder car ever on the market. Everywhere people are amazed at its value. Competition concedes it forces a complete revisipn of standards of comparision. Never has there been a car of its high character available at its low cost. If you have not seen and driven this Eight you are missing the "buy" of the year.
