Steel Dynamics Gallery of Auburn, Indiana Automobiles

No fewer than eleven different brands of motorcars were manufactured in the City of Auburn in the pre-WWI era. This enlightening gallery proves that, even on the local scene, Auburn Automobile Company had formidable competition at the time. Invariably these manufacturers had earlier been well-established carriage builders, who embarked on horseless carriage activities as progress beckoned. Auburn, Indiana, was a center for vehicle development and manufacturing, teeming with new ideas in construction, power, design and marketing, as this exhibit vividly discloses. The ambience places you in the early part of the century including photo murals of scenes from the manufacturers and the City of Auburn.
