“You’re seeing everything in the original place where all the magic happened”
AUBURN- The 1930’s was a time of glory for the automobile industry. Cars were a way to show the culture, luxury, and wits of the American people- especially in Auburn, Indiana. That is why the Auburn community was so eager to build the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum inside the original 120,000 square foot international headquarters of the Auburn Automobile Company. They wanted to preserve this time in history so luxury cars would not be forgotten in the generations to come.
With over 120 vehicles on display, CEO Brandon Anderson said the museum is a multi-experience visit and they have something for everyone. Fans of art, architecture, vehicles, history, design, engineering, and technology can find themselves intrigued by the original work of the 30’s in the exact building where the magic was created.
Though the auto industry has changed drastically, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum continues to exhibit and interpret how the historic automobiles influence the current designs, technology, and safety features.
The museum is family friendly and accessible to all people. People of all kinds from all over the world come to see what the 30’s car industry, Auburn Company, was all about. The museum also hosts multitude of private events and about 60 public events per year. They offer two bars and catering inside their private event facility that can hold up to 600 people. Their public events include Car Side Chats, Cars & Coffee, field trip options, fundraising events, Bootleggers Ball, and a Gatsby Gala.
Brandon said it’s a really important goal of the museums to be a community asset not only to the Auburn community but for the automobile culture. The museum is planning more hands-on events including driving classes to teach participants how to drive manual and historic cars and being able to provide rides. They are always planning to get more vehicles, new exhibits, and creating new partnerships and events in order for the community to be a part of the museum.
