Description
Produced only in 1933 and 1934, the Twelve Salon Speedster was the sportiest of all Auburns, combining the power of the famous Lycoming V-12 with Alan Leamy’s striking “boattail” styling and featuring additional chrome trim, unique headlamps, a unique dashboard, and the now-iconic Salon-exclusive “ribbon” bumpers. It is believed that only nine of these cars were originally produced by the factory in Auburn, Indiana.

Produced only in 1933 and 1934, the Twelve Salon Speedster was the sportiest of all Auburns, combining the power of the famous Lycoming V-12 with Alan Leamy’s striking “boattail” styling and featuring additional chrome trim, unique headlamps, a unique dashboard, and the now-iconic Salon-exclusive “ribbon” bumpers. It is believed that only nine of these cars were originally produced by the factory in Auburn, Indiana.
The car was based upon an original Auburn Twelve chassis with an original speedster body from another chassis, as well as a great horde of original Salon trim components that were purchased from the remaining factory spares stock at Glenn Pray’s in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. During the work the original Twelve engine was found to be in poor condition, with an irreparable crack. As was common at the time, an American-LaFrance block, derived from the original Auburn Twelve design, was fitted with all the correct Auburn ancillary components, including the single-plug head, carburetors, and distributor.
