Lost in memories of my younger son Brian who passed recently at age 34. He and I visited Mt Auburn several times at peak foliage and came away with some beautiful photos.
1933 Auburn 12-165 Salon Speedster boat-tailed, one of reportedly 14 examples, designed by Alan Leamy in a particularly nice color combo!
The Late 20s, impressive open two-seater body styled by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky featured a boat-tail and a vee windscreen, and set the stage for later modifications.
1932 when the 12-cylinder Auburn became available, its price of $975.00 for the 12-160A model was remarkable. The V-12 cost was less than an ordinary eight cylinder medium range Chrysler product. Would customers believe that inaccurate old saw “you get what you pay for”? Well, something happened because as the company was introducing this reliable and high performing V12, the company lost almost a million dollars. The Auburn 12 offered more than a powerful V12 engine. It had a high cruising speed with a Dual Ratio rear end which, upon command from a dash-mounted lever, would offer either a 4.5 or 3.0 ratio for each of the transmission’s three gears. This reduced strain on the engine and lowered fuel consumption, despite its 6.5 liters and 160 horsepower.

Auburn is where Claud Chana first discovered gold in 1848. This courthouse dates back to 1898 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @visitcalifornia @kehcamera @visitauburnca @visitplacer @placercounty
On the second day of this new year at start of last week, my west coast damsel and I arose in the wee hours of the morning before the break of day, on a bitterly cold morning and made our way to the Auburn Ravine to the east of our temporary digs. The temporary digs are where we still find ourselves because of the unfortunate power/data outage from the brutal winter storm that had struck the foothills of the Sierra Nevada that affected three counties with much damage left by the heavy wet snow just after Christmas. So back to the tale of our quick trip over to western precipice of the Auburn Ravine where the North Fork of the American River runs through to capture the sunrise over the mountains that were snowcapped on the horizon. This image is of something that isn’t found generally back northeast of an irrigation canal; they are oh so necessary in California. It is the first image I’m posting that I captured on my iPhone walking back from our picture taking as my pictures are still on my SD card to be downloaded and processed still. California is not only one of the largest states but largest agricultural state accounting for about 11% of the United States national agriculture. The irrigation canals are a key component of the many crops that depend on them as a source of water and an intricate part of the state’s Water Project which amalgam of natural and manmade structures that move water throughout the state.

The elegant dome of Placer county Courthouse in old town Auburn California beautifully lit every evening overlooking the rest of old town Auburn was built between 1894 and 1897. The design of prominent architect John M. Curtis, it has been in use since then by the Placer County Superior Court. Placer the county’s name refers to deposit of sand or gravel that contains valuable minerals like gold, so it was nearby in Coloma also in Placer where James W. Marshall found gold in the placer of the American River at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 and the gold rush was on. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @mpbcom @kehcamera @visitplacer @visitauburnca #usaprimeshot #tamractales #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography @visitcalifornia

This whole series is of a car I had never seen before, the 1934 Auburn 652Y. And here is it's story. The Auburn line saw a drastic redesign for the 1934 model year. This was to be the final design done for the Auburn Automobile Company by Alan Leamy. The 1934 Auburns were wider, lower, and more streamlined than their predecessors. Production of the cars was slow, and momentum did not reach full levels until March of 1934. Due to sales resistance to the new cars, plans were made to put the 1935 line into production as soon as tooling could be put into place. 1934 Auburn production was halted mid-year and only around 4,000 vehicles were produced.
Financially, the Auburn Automobile Company did worse than in 1933, posting a net loss of $3.6 million for the 1934 calendar year.
The Auburn 652Y was available as a cabriolet, phaeton, 2-door brougham, and a sedan. Pricing ranged from the mid-$800's - $945. The engine is a six-cylinder Lycoming powerplant that displaces 209.9 cubic-inches and produces 85 horsepower. The Auburn 652 was powered by a six-cylinder engine that was mated to a three-speed gearbox. They had a two-speed rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic brakes with power assist. This was one of the last models to be created by the Auburn Company, as they went out of business just a few years later, in 1936. Very few were ever made.
The success of the vehicles and the survival of the company up to this point was due mostly to Erret Lobban Cord. The Auburn Company had come into existence in 1877 producing wagons. In 1903 the direction of the company switched to creating automobiles, their first being a one-cylinder chain-driven runabout. The styling and diversity of the vehicles evolved over the years, as did the mechanical capabilities and technological innovations. The Great Depression had taken its toll on the Auburn Company and was headed to receivership when it was rescued by William Wrigley. E.L. Cord was recruited to assume the duties of the general manager. This fast-talking, energetic, salesman, though less than thirty years old, was the right man for the job. By applying new paint to a parking lot of excess vehicles, Cord was able to sell over 750 cars in just a few months. This earned him the title of vice president and in 1926 he became president and primary stockholder of the Auburn Company.
Throughout the next few years, the Auburn/Cord Company would experience highs and lows.
By expanding its dealer network and building a reputation through motorsport accomplishments, the Auburn Company was able to sell 20,000 vehicles a year by the close of the 1920's. In 1931, Auburn sold 32,301 vehicles. The Stock Market Crash and the onset of the Great Depression meant that for 1933 only 4,636 vehicles were sold to customers. 1934 was also a very disappointing year for the company, selling 4,703 units.
E.L. Cord made the decision to spend half a million dollars to redesign the entire Auburn model line. This did little to inspire sales so Cord ordered a second redesign, this time under the direction of Gordon Miller Buehrig. This redesign was first seen in June of 1934 as a 1935 model. The most memorable of these new vehicles was the stunning 851 Speedster.
The Auburn 6 Series was introduced at this time offered as a low-cost alternative powered by a 210 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine.
Located in Auburn Indiana where the Auburns, Cords, and Duesbergs were made. Many famous people stayed there. Now many meth users live there.

I had to do a double take to make sure it was a repo and not a real Auburn. I understand the owner also has a "real" one but prefers to drive this. Wish I could have talked to him.
The chase is on as Providence and Worcester Railroad road freight WONR curls south near MP 66.4 on the Norwich Branch mainline. Leading the way are four four motor GEs, two in Genesee and Wyoming orange and two in original PW red and brown. 3910 on the point is an ex LMX General Electric B39-8E, part of a group of 102 built in 1987-88 for GE's leasing arm and immediately put on long term lease to Burlington Northern. Upon retirement it and five siblings came to the PW around 2001.
They are on their way back 40 miles south to their home terminal of Plainfield, CT after making a turn up to Worcester and are approaching the dangerous crossing that cuts through the middle of a busy four way intersection. At left is a passenger station allegedly dating to 1840 and the earliest days of the railroad constructed by New Haven predecessor Norwich and Worcester. The ancient wooden caboose at left is of Delaware and Hudson Railroad provenance and has stood here in a gathering state of decay for decades.

Auburn built some of America’s best known and most stylish cars in the late 1920s and 1930s. The 851 Speedster, powered by a supercharged Lycoming engine, was introduced for 1935. The boat-tailed body was the work of Duesenberg designer Gordon Buerhig. All Auburn Speedsters were tested to over 100mph by the record breaker Ab Jenkins, as recorded by the autographed plate on the dashboard.
Entrepreneur Errett Lobban Cord rescued Auburn from obscurity in 1924. He acquired Duesenberg and the engine manufacturer Lycoming in 1926, before creating the new Cord marque in late 1929. Auburn was one of only two American car manufacturers to actually increase their sales figures during the great depression of 1931. After that Auburn’s sales dropped and the 851 was to be the company’s swansong, with production ending in late 1936. Cord and Duesenberg ceased production soon after.
