No, #1, & #2 Late 35 #3 Never #4

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

So a mid 35 car might have any of those blocks?

Yes, among other casting changes.

Curt,
Is the 4th engine the 5 plug one with supercharger lugs on right side?

There are four different eight cylinder blocks. There are no serial number break downs. From the factory, you may have a earlier engine in a later car, but a late engine in a early car ; probably not.

Mark, the inquiry is not for that car. It's for one I'm considering.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that your cabriolet is very early 1935 production. Number 60 off the line

Is there any estimate of at what serial number 1935 Auburns started using the 3 and then 5 core plug engines that replaced the side plate engines? Curt's Auburns Midwest site just says early to mid 1935.
Thanks
Craig
