Featuring front-end styling by Gordon Buehrig, the 851 and 852 models were offered with either a naturally aspirated or supercharged eight-cylinder engine. Steel bodywork was produced by Central Manufacturing Company and was available in various combinations of two- or four-door layouts and open and closed configurations.

The 851 series was introduced in mid-1934 for the 1935 model year and returned as the 852 for 1936 before the Auburn Automobile Company ceased production. Featuring front-end styling by Gordon Buehrig, the 851 and 852 models were offered with either a naturally aspirated or supercharged eight-cylinder engine. Steel bodywork was produced by Central Manufacturing Company and was available in various combinations of two- or four-door layouts and open and closed configurations.
This example’s phaeton coachwork is said to have been repainted in its current shade of silver with burgundy fenders and shoulder-line accents in the late 2000s. Features include four doors hinged at the B pillars, a raked grille embedded in a body-color shell, a centrally hinged hood with burgundy louvers, Trippe driving lights, and a flying-lady hood ornament. The black convertible top features burgundy piping and is said to have been installed in 2018 by Andrew Larder Upholstery.
Burgundy-painted wire wheels wear bright hubcaps and beauty rings and are wrapped in 7.00-16 Auburn Deluxe Radial tires, while a spare housed inside the trunk is mounted with non-matching rubber. Stopping is handled by hydraulic drum brakes at each corner, while the solid-axle suspension incorporates semi-elliptical leaf springs and lever-arm hydraulic shock absorbers all around. The brake and suspension systems were reportedly refreshed during the 2018 mechanical refurbishment performed by Janousek Classic Restorations in Bellevue, Michigan.
The cabin is said to have been re-trimmed in the late 2000s and features burgundy leather over front and rear bench seats as well as over the door panels. Features include color-matched carpeting, roll-up windows, a locking glovebox with a door-mounted clock, and a robe rail on the rear of the front seat.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a burgundy-painted dash that is accented by diamond-patterned panels. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and a combination gauge monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 1,400 miles, approximately 200 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The naturally aspirated 280ci Lycoming inline-eight features an aluminum cylinder head, side valves, and a single downdraft carburetor for a factory-rated output of 115 horsepower. The engine is said to have been overhauled during the 2018 refurbishment by Janousek Classic Restorations. A Bendix starting system provides automatic restarting in the event of an engine stall. Fluid changes are said to have been performed in 2022.
