If you enjoyed that museum, I suggest you go to Auburn, IN and visit the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in the original factory showroom...

A sample of a small area on the first floor:

I have read about the ACD museum and have seen some photos. A few of the cars in the Savoy exhibit are on loan from the ACD museum, others from other museums and private owners.

COOOL! I saw my first Doozy at a huge auction in ME back in the ‘80s as a young teen. One of my biggest regrets in life occurred at this auction. There was a beautiful black ‘69 GTO 4 speed car there that had a hot pink fuzz interior. Think troll hair. It covered every surface but the steering wheel. I knew that car would sell for nothing, but we could not stay to bid on the car since it was so far down the list.

Can't argue with you on that.

Our daughter had the opportunity to have a dinner at a sales conference in the building before my dad passed in 2002. She bought him an ACD poster for room in his assisted living facility.

That's one of the reasons that my wife and I went. When my dad, my daughter and I had all been there, it just made sense to get my wife there.

All of us have collector cars, and one of them is one my dad bought when I was 4 years old.

The Art Deco building is beautiful. Those cars just make it more beautifuller....
