Auburn Car Parts

Throughout Auburn’s history, cars have been created that are known to be fast, good looking and expensive. But after the 1929 stock market crash, and the economic downturn that followed, Auburn’s high-priced vehicles proved to be too costly for the Depression era, and production ceased in 1937.

Fortunately, a not-for-profit group formed to preserve the town’s automotive legacy. That effort culminated in the establishment of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, which houses the Auburn Automobile Company’s Art Deco showroom and office building.

The Auburn automobile company, founded in 1900, produced some of the fastest and most expensive American cars of the 1920s. Owner Errett Cord partnered with Duesenberg Corporation to produce the upscale Speedster models, which featured innovative engineering and aggressive styling. Unfortunately, after the 1929 Wall Street Crash and economic downturns of the Depression, these expensive cars were too costly to sell, and production ceased in 1937.

After a 1940 bankruptcy reorganization, the former Auburn Automobile Company merged with Central Manufacturing to form ACM (Auburn/American Central Manufacturing). ACM was well-positioned for World War II production work, as it gained contracts to manufacture more than half a million 1/4-ton jeep bodies for Willys-Overland and Ford Motor Company vehicles. Today, ACM resides in Auburn Technology Park West and is one of the largest manufacturers of auto parts in the state. The auto supplier recently announced plans to expand its facility and hire 42 employees over the next three years. This expansion will support the construction of a Hyundai plant in Montgomery and a Kia factory planned for West Georgia.

The Auburn Automobile Company was one of the largest American automobile manufacturers during the 1920s, producing some of the fastest and most expensive cars on the market. However, it eventually ran out of money and production ceased in 1937. The company was owned by Errett Cord, who had partnered with Duesenberg Corporation to produce some of the first front-wheel drive vehicles.

To commemorate the streamlined styling of this classic model, The Hamilton Collection has developed the 1935 Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster Diecast Car. This 1:18-scale collectible recreates the original’s sleek pinstripes, sweeping boattail rear end and elegant pontoon fenders. It also features a meticulously detailed 8-cylinder engine, side-opening suicide doors and coordinating caramel-colored interior detailing.

In 1940, the company went through a bankruptcy reorganization and later merged with Central Manufacturing Company to become ACM (Auburn Central Manufacturing). They received large amounts of World War II production work, including manufacturing the bodies of over half a million 1/4-ton Jeeps during WWII.
