1932 Auburn Model 12 - 160A four door sedan
Lauren P. Stubbs, Harrisonville

My vehicle is a hobby for me. It's all original. It's a black 1932 Auburn Model 12 - 160A four door sedan. All V-12 cylinder motors for these cars were built in Williamsport, PA at the Lycoming Engine Shop & shipped to Auburn, Ind. & put into the cars. I've had this car for fifty years. I bought it in July of 1959. It had 34,000 miles on it then & now has 75,000 miles on it. My son and I have driven it 13 times out to the A.C.D. Fall meet in Auburn, Ind. They made a museum out of the old factory in Auburn Ind. and it is now called the Auburn Cord & Duesenberg Automobile Museum. I have received many awards through the years, but the most meaningful awards are the Mort Kresteller award which was presented to me at the meet last year . Recipients have distinguished themselves in such a way that the Auburn car & the club have benefited. I also have received the Ken VanAusdal Driving Award ring which is presented to an Auburn driver who believes in driving his or her original Auburn & keeping them on the road. I attend the Hustontown Senior Center & the center manager , Peggy Grace of Wells Tannery, encouraged me to submit my Auburn to the Altoona Mirror after I took it to the senior center to show. |
