Wikipedia gives history of the logo: "The official city logo is based on
the logo of the former Auburn Automobile Company. The company went out of
business in the 1930s. The municipality began using the logo in the 1980s. The
city's official nickname is '"Home of the Classics,"' a reference to the
"classic" automobiles once manufactured there."
