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.
