Auburn Cord Duessenburg
I briefly visited the museum which is located in the former Auburn-Cord factory in Auburn, Indiana, in the 1980's when visiting Cooper Tire, whose Head Offices are also in Auburn. Awe inspiring and certainly all three makes were on display then. Beautiful building too - can't remember if the facade was Art Nouveau or Art Deco.
As a schoolboy in England I also remember being allowed to drive a superb white Auburn-Cord Speedster belonging to James Leasor. Not easy to drive as a sixteen year old and I think Duessenburgs are about twice the size!
