SIA Flashback – Los Angeles: Postwar Paradise of Cheap Classics at Hemmings Blog: Classic and collectible cars and parts

Cords and Duesenbergs weren't always collectable. Check out this repost from Special Interest Autos.  It matches perfectly with the post about my visit to the ACD Museum I posted yesterday. 

FYI, right-click on each page and open in a new tab, then hover over the resulting picture. If you see a "+", left click and it will blow up enough to read it.

A Visit To The Museum

On May 15, I took my Father on a surprise trip to the Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana.  Ok, it was May 15, 2004, but I just found the photos I took of the trip and thought I'd share them here.

The museum itself is the former factory and headquarters of E.L. Cord's empire and the art-deco showroom is the same one in which brand new Cords, Auburns and Duesenbergs were originally shown and sold.  Try to visit if you get the chance.

I'll be adding more captions as soon as I identify each car, but for now, sit back and enjoy...there are tons of pictures.
