In 1926 Cord became president of The Auburn Automobile Co. at the age of 32. Now president of Auburn, Cord bought Lycoming Foundry & Machine Co. of Williamsport, PA together with Duesenberg Motor Co. of Indianapolis. Wanting to assure himself of ample facilities for expanded production, Cord also purchased a Connersville, Indiana body making company and the Limousine Body Co. of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
E. L. Cord's original 8-88 models consisted of a Roadster with a rumble seat, Brougham and a Sedan. The Cabriolet introduced in 1927 became Auburn's first convertible and had a top speed of 80 miles per hour. That same year the Brougham was renamed the Sport Sedan and two Touring Cars were added. The Auburn 8-88 were very popular and set many stock car records in 1927 and 1928 for speed and endurance. Even more popular in 1928 was the Auburn Speedster with its pointed boat tail, larger fenders and raked windshield. The Speedster was Auburn's new top of the line automobile. It was very fast and with optional high compression cylinder heads was clocked doing 108.5 MPH at Daytona Beach. See Auburn 1930-1937 for more detailed information on the Auburn Boattail Speedster.
