Auburn

Auburn was an American automobile marque produced in Auburn, Indiana. The company began producing cars in the early 20th century and became best known in the 1920s and 1930s for stylish, often coachbuilt, luxury and performance models. In 1924 Errett Lobban (E.L.) Cord acquired the Auburn Automobile Company and subsequently consolidated operations with Cord and Duesenberg marques under his control; Auburn production ended in 1937 following the Great Depression. The original Auburn identity was most commonly expressed through elegant script wordmarks and model-specific nameplates rather than a single enduring corporate emblem.
