Hello - my name is Ray Parker, I am ACD Club Technician for the "Early Auburn - 1920-27". The picture of your serial number tags identify your car as a 76SD, Engine #2981110. The first two numbers in your engine number specify model year. The "SD" stands for model type. The pictures show that your car has a six cylinder engine, so your car would be a 6-76 built in 1929. If you would like further information, I would advise getting in touch with Dave Kirchenbauer. He is the ACD Club Technician for 1928-30 Auburns -- his listing is on the inside front cover of each ACD Newsletter. I will be happy to help you out whenever I can, but Dave is the Technician for your car.

What a great car! :P Thanks for posting a link to them.

Was that an airplane that I saw next to your Auburn? What year and model is it? Are you restoring it? Are you a pilot?

Nice looking car Brian,
According to the book Auburn Cord Duesenberg by Don Butler, Auburn shipped 13,481 cars in 1928. They made the 6-66A until July 1928, then the model 76 came out. One of the big differences is the engine. The 6-66 had a Continental engine and the 76 had the Lycoming. I am new to Auburns myself, so I am no expert, but the info in this book seems to be pretty good. Good luck with it! -Mike

1928 Auburn- a couple of questions was created by buickimc
I recently purchased a 1928 Auburn, and would like to ask a few questions about the vehicle,

The car is a 1928 Auburn Fordor sedan.
Engine Number: 2981110
Chassis Number: WS3756

1. Is this a "matching numbers car" Ie is this the engine the car left the factory with?
2. What is the exact model of this car? I am lead to believe this is a 6-66?
3. My car is missing the timing advance and retard linkages, could someone please post a photo so I can see the path they follow as well as what they look like.
4. How many of the 6-66 and 8-88 where manufactured? and how many have thought to still survive?

Thanks in advance for any help
