Dueseys Auburns & Cords - Oh My! - What a gem! From the striking, original 1930 Art Deco showroom building now preserved as the museum to the stunning cars (and 2 planes!) on display within. Even my 80 year old mother, who hesitantly agreed to tag along but figured she’d just sit while I roamed - thoroughly enjoyed walking through the 3 floors and taking in the gorgeous automobiles. If you’ve ever admired American cars, from the early years to the “golden age” of the 30s, you owe it to yourself to drop in and soak up the Duesenbergs, Auburns and Cords. (Several other makers are represented also.) The collection represent some truly amazing automotive history, innovation and design milestones.

Prepare to be dazzled - An equal to Chicago's Museum of Art, New York's Metropolitan, or Paris' Louvre, the display and setting of automotive art defies description....there is none more enriching than the ACD. The 20th century's driving affection (and addiction) is perfectly centered between horse & buggy era then, and the electric evolution now. Treat yourself here, in Auburn, Indiana, before you exit this nugget we share : planet earth.

One of a kind collection means one of a kind visit. - There is only one place like this. The parking is close and admission process is quick so we got in this massive building quickly and as a group we were ready to roam the displays. There is a lot to see. Place is huge, cars are beautiful and videos are decent, too. Lots of history in this building—huge pillars, beautiful flooring and lighting. There is a huge staircase right in the front of the building. As you fan out in the building you can somehow lose track of where you were and not see some of the vehicles. Best to double back to try and see them all. It is worth it to stop in but take your time and be ready to walk.

Excellent Museum - The museum is in the old Auburn showroom in their headquarters. You can see the executive offices furnished just as they would have been in the 1930's.. There are many wonderful fully restored Auburn, Cord and Dusenburg cars to view and photograph, and the showroom is full Art Deco from the chandeliers to the railings on the staircase and the floor tiles. Well worth the admission to see these luxury cars from the 1930's!.

Outstanding Collection and History - Favorite exhibit is the car you can sit in for a photo, with a background that looks like the car is driving outside in front of the museum. Museum has a unique, vast, and very interesting collection. The history of the cars made in Auburn and the people who owned the car manufacturers is fascinating.

A great Auto museum - This museum has many beautiful cars as well as the history of the Cord Duesenberg automobile factory. You can spend an hour here easily. The downstairs show room is very impressive. The elevator was broken when we were there which limits those with disabilities. There are many more autos upstairs as well as the offices of the company. A employee was very helpful with explaining the history. All in all a great place to visit

So much history here - So much car history to see here. Even if you don't think that automobile museums are 'your thing' , a visit here will surely change your mind. Had no idea that so much auto history existed in the Auburn - Fort Wayne area. Silly us - we thought Deusenberg was a German car. Nope - made right here in the US. The detail and innovation used by Cord in the making of these various car company he owned is fascinating. This museum should be on everyone's list to visit.

Well worth the drive to get there. - If you like classic cars this museum is one of the best. The cars are fantastic, the history of Cord the car and the man is remarkable and the building (showroom and business offices) is perfect of the times.
