Join others to celebrate great cars inspired by Carroll Shelby at the Shelby Dodge Auto Club (SDAC)

When one thinks of the great "Shelby" Dodge cars of the past such as the Dodge Shelby Charger, Omni GLH, Shelby GLHS and the Shelby CSX, the mind also goes back to the genius behind these amazing cars - Carroll Shelby. Those who love and appreciate his cars will also love to be a part of the Shelby Dodge Auto Club (SDAC), where Shelby Dodge vehicles are celebrated year round.

History of the Auburn Automobile Company

The Auburn Automobile Company of Auburn, Indiana was founded by two brothers named Morris and Frank Eckhart in 1900. The first Auburn cars were produced in 1903. The brothers had been building cars experimentally long before starting the company. Their love for automobiles goes back to their father, Charles Eckhart, who founded the Eckhart Carriage Company in 1875.

1935 Auburn: Super-charged for performance

The year 1935 would mark the final year for Auburn vehicles. High hopes were held by the Auburn Automobile Company’s owner and employees as six new super-charged Auburn models rolled off the assembly line. The models were powerful with eight-cylinder engines that could produce 150 horsepower and felt like they were coasting at 60 mph.
