WELCOME TO AUBURN, INDIANA

& TO THE AUBURN CORD DUESENBERG FESTIVAL

The World’s Greatest Classic Car Show and Festival

September 1-5, 2011

On behalf of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival Board of Directors and staff, I want to welcome you to Auburn, Indiana.  We are glad you have chosen to visit our Festival and we will ensure that you leave with fond memories from your stay with us.

Festival activities gear up early with the popular Cars and Guitars and Garage Cruise taking place the weekend prior to Labor Day weekend. The Festival has grown to include so many activities that we had to expand our calendar. We continue to add new events while our most popular events such as the Friday Night Cruise-In and the Parade of Classics just keep growing. Check out our expanded Schedule of Events and join us for some events you may not have experienced before such as Motoring to the Square. Learn about the history of the Auburn Automobile Company and how it helped Auburn, Indiana to become the “Home of the Classics”.

We encourage you to support ACD Festival sponsors and ACD participating events. It is through their partnership that the Festival is able to continue to provide the “World’s Greatest Classic Car Show & Festival”.

Enjoy your stay in our beautiful city as you participate in our many events and activities.

WELCOME! It is with a great amount of pride that I invite you to  our wonderful city for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. As a visitor or a citizen, you’ll enjoy the amenities Auburn has to offer. The ACD Festival Committee is organizing many activities sponsored by non-profit groups.

Our rich automobile history has provided the City of Auburn with beautiful historic homes and automotive museums. The World’s Largest Collector Car Auction, the popular Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum, and the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States have provided a home to the famous Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Festival and its numerous events held throughout the city and the Kruse Auction Park each Labor Day weekend.

There’s something for everyone at the 2010 Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. On behalf of the City of Auburn, we welcome you and hope your festival visit is a memorable one.

Sincerely,
Norman E. Yoder

On behalf of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Club, welcome to the city of Auburn the “Home of the Classics”.  Our Club, founded in 1952, will celebrate it’s 55th Annual Reunion here over Labor Day weekend.

Each year, the Club selects a “Year of” automobile, and for 2010, the Duesenberg is the celebrated marque. The Duesenberg reputation of making fine cars and engines was begun by two brothers, Fred and Augie Duesenberg. They produced the “A” and “X” models. After their company was acquired by E.L. Cord and the Auburn Automobile Co.. the “J” model was introduced to become one of the finest motorcars in the world. You will be surprised, fascinated, and happy to view many of these cars driving around the Auburn area during the Labor Day weekend.

Please enjoy all that the City of Auburn, the Festival Committee, and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Club have to offer you. We hope you return year after year, as we do.
