More often you get called for a SHOW DOWN. This is exactly what the public is doing to the automo- bile industry today—demanding a SHOW DOWN! People want to know what the car is made of, how well it is put together, what it will do, and how long it will last. You can not find the answer to these questions anywhere but in the car itself. 3 AUBURN WELCOMES A SHOW DOWN! We have built this wonderful Salon Series so that after you compare and drive it, it will sell itself. And here is why it does— It has the strongest frame—“X” plus “A”™—the strongest under any automobile built— That means rigidity, a steady, strong, enduring foun- dation. - In this we put the finest Straight Eight motor built in the world, Lycoming! Any one who challenges the above claim can verify it by its performance records and by driving it themselves. You will find it is smoother, more powerful, more flex- ible! . High compression, and you can use any gas. "We claim more horsepower per cubic inch of piston dis- placement than any other stock car in the world to our knowledge. And you know your Auburn chassis is thoroughly lubri- cated, never neglected, never dependent upon some care- less mechanic—it is absolutely automatic. The Bijur system is found only on Aubdrn, Packard and Rolls Royce. " High speed demands most reliable and effective brakes. Auburn gives them to you; internal expanding hydraulic four-wheel brakes with compensating cylinder. Easy to ANl B operate in wet weather as in dry. Innumerable tests have shown them to be capable of runnng 20,000 miles without adjustment. The brake drums are reinforced with a rim that enables them to permanently retain their true shape. Of course, Auburn has hydraulic shock absorbers, the most efficient type obtainable, and all steel running boards. ‘Whether you analyze Auburn by its fundamental struc- tural features or its convenience and refinements, we are confident you will find that it excels in every detail. Owners tell us the seating arrangement is the most‘rm- fortable. This is not an accident. All the controlf are unusually convenient, within easy reach. For example, you start your motor with both feet on the control pedals by simply turning a key on the dash. All the pedals are rubber insulated to prevent scuffing of shoes. The upho’stery is of De Luxe springs with genuine curl- ed hair—no skimping on the Auburn even where it is not visible. Auburn bodies are lower in design with a low center of gravity. They are easier to handle and hold the road more safely with less sidesway. It would take a large book to tell all of the desirable, money-saving features of the new Auburn. But the way to call for a “SHOW DOWN?” of any auto- mobile is to see it and drive it. 4 No matter what we or any other manufacturer says about their product, the acid test is what the car itself does, the ease with which it handles, the comfort with which it rides, and the way it meets every performance requirement. Also, how do you feel after a long drive?
