12935 Auburn 851, Supercharged Cabriolet.
This car was manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company based in Auburn, Indiana. This company also build Cords and Duesenbergs.
The 1935 Auburns were acclaimed for both their art deco styling and outstanding performance. Their flowing design emphasizes the long hood and recessed radiator. In the deluxe models, the external stainless steel exhaust pipes indicate the presence of a Schwitzer-Cummins supercharger that increases horsepower from 115 to 150. Coupled with a
Columbia two-speed rear axle, this car can achieve speeds of 100 mph.
Unfortunately, the ongoing Great Depression limited car sales and the Auburn Automobile Company ceased production in 1937. Less than 50 of these cars remain

1935 Auburn 851 boat-tailed speedster, in not subtle YELLOW.
To emphasize the smooth transfer from the previous 5 black and red images of the Cadillac V-16 four door convertible, sharp eyed viewers will find it in the Auburn's headlight. Both cars are major conspicuous consumption during the depths of the Great Depression but thank God that this spectacular rolling art was saved and not used to make battle ships, or left to rust in some back yard.
We hoi palloi with cameras are allowed to share (but not touch) though most of us would find it difficult to pay for the paint jobs (up to and sometimes exceeding $100,000) of these beauties.
1936 Auburn 852 SC Custom (one off) Estate Wagon - Designed, engineered, and coach built by Mark Norton
About
Built by Mark Norton of The Norton Woodies & Rods company, this Auburn retains the usual 852 design from the nose to the A-pillar. Things change from that point toward the rear, with all four doors and the rear quarter section "dressed" in wood. The roof is also padded like in the old days, while the inner door panels feature period-correct rivets and screws.
This Auburn packs a supercharged 4.6-liter straight-eight under the split hood. The mill is factory-original, but it has been restored and runs and drives like new. On top of that, everything is squeaky clean in the engine bay. And what an amazing-looking mill this is, especially with both hood panels open to let all the light shine on the chrome block.

Two of the four external chrome exhaust pipes from the 1937 Cord 812.Instead of fastening these pipes to an underbody exhaust,there were on the hood in all their glory.One of the most distinctive vehicles of the 20th Century,supercharging was an option on the 812 which also featured retractable headlamps and front wheel drive.Only 1000 were produced in the two years it was available...

One of a handful of known pre-production examples of the 540 K,
An original U.S.-delivery example, with the most desirable “longtail,” “high door,” left-hand-drive configuration of the top of the line, 'Special Roadsters'.
The Special Roadster is the ultimate Mercedes-Benz 540 K. Remarkably, it effectively accommodates only two passengers. Yet, the Sindelfingen designers succeeded in designing a car that looks much smaller and lighter than it is. The gently sloping and instantly recognizable Mercedes-Benz radiator is tucked back at the front wheels’ centerline behind sweeping front fenders. The fenders then dominate the long hood before gently curving up to create the rear fenders, which in turn flow delicately down, wrapping into the tail. Two massive exhaust pipes emerge from the hood’s right side and disappear into the fender, suggesting the power that lurks inside.
With it's 180 hp, 5,401 cc OHV inline eight-cylinder engine with driver-activated Roots-type supercharger, the Mercedes-Benz 540 K was one of the most prestigious and, in the eyes of many, the most beautiful automobile of the interwar years. Its combination of power, light weight, and sheer beauty made it the master of the road, It was also breathtakingly expensive, guaranteeing exclusivity among its owners; just 419 chassis were built, and of those, only a handful carried the superlative longtail Spezial Roadster coachwork that may well have been the high point of the coachbuilder’s art at Mercedes-Benz’s own Sonderwagenbau in Sindelfingen.
Exceptionally priced at 28,000 Reichsmark, or about $12,000 US at the prevailing exchange rate, the Special Roadster was priced by New York importer Mitropa Motors at about $14,000 landed in the United States—about 40 percent more than the most expensive catalogue-bodied Cadillac V-16. As a result, only a mere handful of supercharged eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz automobiles sold in the United States were Special Roadsters.
And this supremely special art deco beauty sold in Arizona in 2016 for a very special.............
$9.9 Million!! So start saving your pennies.......

1937 CORD 812 Supercharged Sportsman Coupe
The new Cord 810’s front-wheel drive was a decided improvement over previous systems, replacing double universal joints with constant-velocity units that enabled independent transverse springing, an industry first. So too were the Lycoming 288 CI V-8 engine and Bendix preselector gearbox. Fitted with a 2-barrel carburetor, aluminum heads, intake and pistons, and rated at 125 HP in naturally aspirated form, the Lycoming V-8’s output leapt to 170 HP with supercharging.
With a new “812” designation, the 1937 Cord offered a new optional Schwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger giving up to 6 PSI boost and increasing peak output to upwards of 190 HP and 272 lb-ft of torque, figures that contributed to a series of Bonneville records set by racer Ab Jenkins in 1937, including a 24-hour average speed of 101.72 MPH that stood for 16 years.
