The 1932 Auburn 12-160A is one of the most significant and desirable American automobiles of the pre-war era. Auburn, under the direction of Errett Lobban Cord, produced some of the most stylish and technically advanced cars of the early 1930s, and the 12-160A represented the pinnacle of their lineup. Powered by a Lycoming V-12 engine producing 160 horsepower, it was one of the fastest American cars of its day, capable of exceeding 100 mph at a time when most cars struggled to reach 70. The long, low hood, sweeping fenders, and elegant coachwork made it a rolling sculpture. Auburn's bold styling and engineering ambition placed it alongside Duesenberg and Cord in the pantheon of great American luxury marques. Today, surviving 12-160A examples are prized by collectors worldwide for their combination of beauty, performance, and historical significance. This custom example from the Grand Rapids Classics collection represents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of American automotive royalty.
