Values that excel all comparison! Prices that revise all automobile standards! Study the entire market, then take your pencil and figure for yourself how much more you must spend for any other car that offers you com parable wheelbase, power, room, strength, endurance, performance, and the last word in every motoring improvement and high-class advantage. Then DRIVE the Auburn, and there will be no doubt as to WHAT car offers the best investment. ' UBS OOfy. Straight Eight f 120 mwebaseSM Anyone paying less than $1000 for a car should inspect, compare and drive the new Series 6-85 four-door closed car. You are entitled to long wheelbase and a trcmcruloas'.y strong rigid frame, be cause they arc the foundation of all auto mobile requirements. To skimp here is fatal to efficient, enduring performance. It, cannot be glossed over with body attraction.' The ama:ing value of this Auburn Six begins down deep with its rugged foundation, making possible a larger, unc ramped car with ample head and leg room; a rcol, big luxurious auto mobile with fine cur advantages. Bijur chassis lubrication, hydraulic shock ab sorbers, and hydraulic four-wheel brakes. Convenient payments. 1XS" WHEELBASE Here Auburn announces the most important automobile news in all the world today. Not superficial changes or "talking points", but a vast sweeping fundamental change in the re establishment of values in the entire industry. Auburn makes its new Series 8-95 Straight Eights available to the vast army of motorists who have fenou n Eights were far superior, and who wanted to own them. Now NO car buyer need be handicapped by a lesser car. This four door Sport Sedan of 125-inch wheelbase for much less than many Sixes! Not an untried, hastily produced model, but perfected through five years of Auburn's Straight Eight, leader ship; a definite, tested, proven value. Double armor-plated frames, Bijur chassis lubrication. Hydraulic shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Finest mohair upholstery, luxura springs, Brevster non-glare windshield, and every refinement and improvement you expect in a strictly quality car. Its sturdiness and efficiency are the result of long experience, of constant improving and of added betterments, until today its worth rises far beyond the limits ever attained by any other comparable car. It is the climax of our policy of making Auburn's success retroactive to buyers. 125 hp. Straight Eight 130" WHEELBASE AuburnTias earned a reputation for doing the unusual for doing w hat others say is impossible. In this manner, Auburn has convinced a rapidly growing number of people that they can have not only finer motoring in Auburn cars, but also that it is much better business to invest in Auburn cars." Never has this been more evident than with this new Series 125 four-door closed car of 130-inch wheelbase. In fact, this car is the most daring departure from contem porary practice that Auburn has ever made. It eclipses all others. For here is a value in size, strength, power, refinement and endurance, that only those accus tomed to paying the highest prices have ever enjoyed. Now luxuries, performance and distinction are offered in a car that makes its purchase an act of thrift. You probably will never need to call upon its max imum of reserve power. But it is always there, price less in emergencies, and continually saving the motor from gtrain and undue depreciation. The frame, the strongest under any automobile, resembles a steel bridge in construction. It is double armor-plated, firmly rigid, preventing shimmy, vibration and body twists and strains. Lycoming is the unquestioned leader in Straight Eights, and this motor with its smooth flow of over-lapping power impulses is the utmost of Lycoming's attainments in reliable, durable and efficient performance. Drive it and you will be amazed. And of course this fine car has Bijur chassis lubrication, hydraulic shock absorbers, and four wheel, internal expanding hydraulic brakes. The upholstery, the fittings and the finish of this Series are the very last word in quality and good taste. We cau tion you not to delay. Place your order at once. Every year Auburn has been oversold. The demand for this value will break all records. tm Hi om SiH.fl SJ.n CUioln (H, ..
