Description:
|
In the fall of 1907, the Vehslage family of Seymour, Indiana purchased three new Auburns (including this car) in an attempt to become Auburn dealers and to get a discount from the factory. They sold the other two Auburns thus ending their careers as Auburn dealers.
The family maintained the Auburn in running condition until 1971 when a tornado hit the barn in which the Auburn was stored. Part of the barn collapsed and the upper floor fell in on the car. The remains were dug out of the rubble and were stored until 1984 when the vehicle were donated to the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum where it was placed on exhibit until 1993. In 1997 restoration was begun and completed in 2002.
