Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum

[JEBar]

without a doubt the finest automobile related museum that we have ever visited is the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum located at 1600 Wayne St, Auburn, IN 46706-3509 ===> http://www.automobilemuseum.org/#home.html .... of the many, many we have visited across the country, there are only a handful of museums I would drive out of my way to get to .... the Auburn Cord Museum is at the top of the list .... the pictures below are a very small sample of what they have on display with info on each

Beautiful machines. Thanks for the photos. It looks like a great place to spend some time. That museum must be -- as they say -- a Duesey!

[JEBar]

it is truly outstanding .... the Duesenberg shown with the etched glass vent windows belonged to Frank Lloyd Wright .... as also shown, they also have a complete section dedicated to other classic/historic vehicles

Amazing, heard about it, but not been there. A friend's family had an Austin and I he took it there and sold it after his father passed.
It's been years, but another cool museum is in Cleveland. The Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum.

They have a P51 Mustang and many war birds, lots of cars and they had a HUGE steam locomotive, not sure if that's still there.
Worth the trip to Cleve Lots of good food and beverages too

Wow! Those cars are outstanding. I wonder how much it would cost today to produce works of art like that? I think I know the answer to that one already!

Beautiful old cars, looks like a very interesting museum. Thanks for the tour.

IIRC, we worked on an Avanti in the body shop I worked in during the summers when I was in college back in the early 70s. I remember it was one of the late Studebakers, the Avanti rings a bell. I do remember it was very well made and had a no creep slushbox. You could take your foot off the brake at a light and it would not move forward until you hit the accelerator.

NATMUS, just behind the car museum, is well worth a stop, too.
