Created with beautiful lines and equipped with a supercharger, the 1935 Auburn 851 Speedster
Boattails were designed to maximize potential speed and make a social statement.
With beautiful lines on every facet of the car, Auburn Automobile Company designer Gordon Buehrig
created an attractive automobile.
Each model had a plaque indicating that legendary racer Ab Jenkins road tested the car to over
100 miles per hour. As one of the earlier Speedsters to come off the line, the Boattail rear end
is steeper and more pronounced than the later Speedsters built in 1935. The 1935 Auburn Speedster,
driven by Jenkins, set 70 new American and international stock car records and was the first stock
American car to exceed 100 miles per hours for a 12-hour period.
