Description |
Year: 1927 Make: Auburn Model: 6-66A Submodel: Wanderer Body type: Sedan The Auburn Automobile Company was not only innovative in its styling and technology, but also a pioneer in automotive utility. The company sales literature illustrated the amazing possibilities: "along some cool byway, by some lake or stream, to raise the catches, drop the front seat backward." It provides "Deluxe Sleeping Accommodations While Enroute on Tours, Hunting, or Camping Excursions." Introduced in 1925, the Wanderer was a $50.00 option on all sedan models. There was even one open touring car which received this exciting feature. With the small number of roadside motels and the increasing mobility of Americans, Auburn hoped this additional model would entice the buying public to choose "Auburn, America’s Fastest Stock Car." Exterior Color: Maroon and black Interior Color: Red Cloth Wheelbase: 120 inches Engine: Lycoming six-cylinder, L-head Transmission: Three-Speed Manual Displacement: 224 cubic-inches Horsepower: 55 Weight: 3,070 lbs. Price When New: $1,345 DONATED BY WAYNE CUSTER OF GARRETT, INDIANA |
