An Auburn is featured in the 1936 British film Lonely Road. Clive Brook refers to it as an "Auburn Supercharger". During the Shanghai chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones' getaway vehicle is an Auburn Boattail Speedster. The car used in the film was a purpose-built replica rather than an original model.
The Auburn Boattail Speedster was powered by a 4.6L straight eight that, with the popular supercharger option (150 hp), could top 100 mph (160 km/h) making it a popular model in the Hollywood market. [6] The Depression, coupled with Cord's stock manipulations, spelled the end of the company and production ceased in 1937.
