The Auburn Eight was first introduced in 1925 as the first eight-cylinder offering from Auburn. Although the most notable variants of the Eight were the 851 and 852 Speedsters, a wide variety of other standard variants were built. These included sedans, coupes, and convertibles, as well as a various coachbuilt creations. These cars were powered by a variant of inline eight engines over the course of production, all of which were paired to a manual transmission to send drive to the rear wheels. Production of the Auburn Eight ended in 1936.
