| | The Auburn |
 | | Chief Auburn engineer James Crawford was given the task of pulling the six cylinder out of the Auburns and replacing it with the straight eight. |
 | | The Auburn 8-120 was introduced in 1929, the 8-130 in 1930.. |
 | | Cord focused the Auburn on a "single straight eight motor, the 8-98, built by Lycoming, the first center X bracing on a rear wheel drive car, Lovejoy hydraulic shocks, Bijur lubrication, semi-elliptical suspension in the front and the rear, and a LGS Freewheeling Unit." The Auburn was offered for $1,195-$1,395 ($945-$1,195 less the Freewheeling Unit). |
