It was awesome. I recommend going if it is possible. It was a really nice museum. Give yourself a whole day because their is a second museum behind it which we did not have time for.

The tour starts off in the original showroom with show quality cars. When you first walk in there is an 8 cylinder Cord front and center, the 2 Duesenberg model J’s seen above, and 2 Auburn Roadsters.

Auburn Roadster

Auburn Roadster

Cord 8 cylinder

Auburn 6 cylinder display engine. All Auburn and Cord engines were built by Lycoming. I am not sure if the all Duesenberg Engines were built by Lycoming, but the famous over head cam inline 8 engines were modified Lycoming enignes.

Cord

1934 Auburn

Cord 812 Supercharged Coupe custom

1926 Auburn 6-68 Roadster

Auburn Hearse

Auburn 6 cylinder Wanderer. The 6 cylinder Auburns have absolutlely beautiful proportions. This rare Wanderer one of only 3 known to be remaining was one of my favorites.

This Cord 810 has over 115,000 miles. The owner used it to travel much of the world.

Me in a 1920’s Dodge.

Here is a nice shot of the controls. The left pedal felt like the clutch and the right felt like the brakes. As for the throttle and the ignition timing I am not sure which of the 2 steering wheel levers was which.

This original Dodge logo led me to check if they were Jewish. They were not Jewish.

1937 Lincoln

1933 Checker

1952 Cisitalia: I was really excited and surprised to see a Cisitalia

E.L. Cord’s 1933 BSA

Duesenberg V-16 Aircraft engine prototype for WWI.

Auburn V-12

McIntyre truck with a mid mounted aircooled flat 2 cylinder

1963 Studebaker Avanti

1980 International Scout concept

I have took some more pictures. These were the best / favorites.

Great museum. The building is almost as cool as the cars.

Very true. It was neat to see the old offices and the conference room. I love that the map they give you tells what part of the building everything was in 1937.

This one is really pretty. Most Duesenbergs are a bit too flashy and complicated but this look really clean and simple. There isn’t anything in the design that I wouldn’t like.

It’s a very early Model A?

I believe you are correct that it is an early model A. When I blow up the picture I can see a tiny fuzzy “1923”.

Too bad Duesenbergs are so rare cars. I would like to see more of these. If I remember correctly around 1200 Duesenbergs were made and around half of them still exist.
