Description

The Auburn 8-98 Sedan was a stylish and well-engineered automobile produced in the early 1930s, offering a balance of performance, comfort, and affordability. It was powered by a 4.0-liter inline-eight engine producing 98 horsepower, providing smooth and reliable performance suited for both city and highway driving. The three-speed manual transmission ensured efficient power delivery, while Auburn’s advanced suspension system contributed to a comfortable ride.

The design featured classic Auburn elegance, with a distinctive grille, flowing fenders, and a well-proportioned sedan body that exuded sophistication. Inside, the spacious cabin was finished with high-quality materials, including plush upholstery, fine wood accents, and a thoughtfully designed dashboard. Auburn positioned the 8-98 Sedan as an entry-level luxury model, making eight-cylinder performance more accessible to a broader range of buyers while maintaining the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and style.

Despite the economic challenges of the Great Depression, the Auburn 8-98 remained a popular choice due to its combination of affordability and upscale features. Today, it is regarded as a desirable collector’s car, appreciated for its blend of engineering excellence, timeless design, and historical significance in American automotive history.
