The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, also known as the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Facility, is a museum located in Auburn, Indiana that is dedicated to preserving cars built by Auburn Automobile, Cord Automobile, and Duesenberg. It is comparable in purpose to the Studebaker National Museum which is also located in Indiana.
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg facility was a factory where cars were hand-assembled, rather than mass-produced.[3]
The showroom and administrative buildings were designed by architect Alvin M. Strauss in Art Deco style and were built in 1930.[3]
The facility's showroom and administrative buildings, the service and new parts building, and the L-29 building were together declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.[2][3]
