The 1932 Auburn 12-160A Convertible Coupe
•
The Auburn Twelve was perhaps America’s best automobile bargain of the early 1930’s. A stylish and powerful (160 horsepower) Auburn Twelve could be purchased for as little as $1,200 in 1932. While its closest rival, Cadillac, was more than twice as much. This beautiful Auburn is one of only 3 LeGrand bodied 1932 Model 160A Cabriolets that still exists today!

The legendary Duesenberg SJ Engine
•
One of only 36 supercharged Duesenberg’s ever produced, J-449 remains on display in the Grand Salon. Originally purchased in 1952 as a display engine, this DOHC, Straight Eight, 420cu.in beast has been without a chassis or body for many years.
•
This SJ engine produces 320 horsepower. In fact, the centrifugal supercharger requires 45 horsepower to operate. It was advertised to be capable of 104MPH (167km/h) in second gear. With a top speed of over 130mph paired with a chassis & body that weighed at least two and a half tons. Performance numbers of the SJ engine were pure domination since its debut in 1932, remaining the most powerful production engine in the world until Chrysler introduced the Hemi, a whopping three decades later.
