The Auburn Automobile Company was initially known as Eckhart Carriage Company, founded in Auburn, Indiana in 1874 , where they experimented making automobiles before actually entering the business.
In 1926, Cord -then the owner of Auburn- after numerious and intricate ownership changes, partnered with Duesenberg Corporation. This was a collaboration to produce the fines automobiles in the American history.
Employing imaginative minds such as chief designer Alan Leamy, Cord built cars such as the Duesenberg Model J (1928-37), the Auburn Speedster (1935-37), the 851 Speedster, and the Cord 810/812 that became famous for their advanced engineering as well as their striking appearance. It was the first American-designed and built front wheel drive car with independent front suspension and hiding headlights.
The Depression, coupled with Cord's stock manipulations, finally killed the company in 1937.
