Auburn Speedster is an American car, made by Auburn Motor Company in Auburn, Indiana, and made in Connasville, Indiana.
The classic Auburn Speedster of 1930s was designed by designer Gordon Buehrig.

In the 1920s and 1930s, the world economy was in the throes of the Great Depression.
The vigorous 1920s came to an end with the stock market crash of 1929. In that turbulent period, women's fashion became more streamlined and fashionable, as did cars in that period, reflecting the social and economic changes during the ten-year crisis. In the 1920s, the youthful, flamboyant and exuberant silhouette became softer and more elegant, the skirt fell, and the curvy figure became popular again.
Car dealers all over the United States urgently need products that can attract consumers' attention and rekindle the excitement of the automobile industry, and Auburn's 85 1 and 852 really attract customers to the exhibition hall again.
Each 852 car was affixed with a metal nameplate with the signature of the great racing driver Ab Jenkins, which declared the advanced performance of the car at that time.
