MayorYoderWELCOME! 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 2009 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
Mayor


TimACDThe members of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Club (ACD Club) welcome all visitors to the “Home of the Classics”, Auburn, Indiana. Auburn was headquarters of the Auburn Automobile Co., which produced three of the most elegant cars in American history; the Auburn, the Cord, and the Duesenberg. This year marks the 54th time the ACD Club has returned for the Labor Day weekend reunion.

Where else in America can one view over 300 classic cars driving around the local streets; observe the judging of these cars in the park; talk to the owners of these cars (don’t be shy- they like to talk about their cars!); and view a  good old-fashioned parade on Saturday afternoon? This year the Club is honoring the Cord L-29 as “Car of the Year.” Over 5000 units of this front-wheeled drive car were produced here in Auburn from 1929 to 1932. Sadly, fewer than 200 remain. You will be able to see many of these rare and beautiful cars this week.

On behalf of the ACD Club’s Board of Directors, I ask that you take full advantage of all the activities this week, and return, as we do, year after year.

President
