This is such an important place of historical significance to my family that I hosted my wedding reception here. My guests were not only thrilled with the elegant treatment they were given, but also enjoyed that they were free to tour the museum at their leisure during our lovely party. The Art Deco atmosphere makes for amazing reception photos too!
I love this place and try to get there a few times a year.
As a photo buff, the only thing I would change are of the stanchions, ropes, and signs that obstruct the view. Other car museums with just as costly autos don’t have them and don’t seem to have a problem. Besides, the ropes are so close to the car that they wouldn’t stop someone from touching them anyway. They just spoil the picture.
I still give it a five star because these things don’t matter to most people.
The cars are beautiful and the building itself is a national treasure.
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is an excellent transportation museum. The autos on display are in some ways priceless and irreplaceable. There are a couple floors of vintage automobiles, mostly from the 1920's and 1930's, but with a smattering of classic cars from other eras too.
The museum building itself is an art-deco design with all the period floors, window treatments, lamps and other furnishings intact, most of which are from the original building.
It's very easy to reach from I-69 with plenty of lodging close by. The museum has good parking and one should plan on spending 1-2 hours in the museum.
The staff was inviting and seemed interested in really knowing how you liked you visit. The automobiles are so beautiful, it felt more like looking at artwork rather than just cars. They pack a lot of information between the interactive exhibits to informational cards for each car and the enclosed office spaces, original die, concept drawings, etc. into this location and the building itself is lovely. I would recommend spending a day taking in all there is to see here. Especially, if you have an appreciation for the automobile as art.
Well presented museum that showcases actual cars from not widely known car companies at the start of the automobile age. Also has wonderful exhibits celebrating the giants in design and other aspects in the development of the auto. Classic cars and custom cars of all stripes..Wow!
This place is a must see when visiting Auburn, Indiana. One the nicest collections of Auburns, Cords and Duesenburg's anywhere in the world. Highly recommend
The building is amazing by itself. The cars are beyond compare. Its the closest thing to going back in time. Loved it
An unbelievably world-class experience! Just to walk through this museum where the greats worked and built some of the world's best cars is an honor unto itself. History unfolds from every corner and there are rooms of artifacts in addition to hundreds of cars that can't be beat! Like the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg is one that you cannot miss!
The crown jewel of Northeast Indiana. This is a beautiful museum with excellent exhibits and an unsurpassed collection of one-of-a-kind classic cars. I've attended several events held here, and they've always been run efficiently by incredible staff. I always bring friends and family from out of town to spend an afternoon here.
Quite a perfect setting for a wedding and reception hall! Great food and service from this historical town and the beautiful automobiles!
There is so much here!! My friend got me to go. I know my grandparents used to visit when they came to Indiana. This is with going sometime!
If you want to see, up close, "The Cars of the Stars" of the 20's & 30's, then by all means visit this museum..! Jimmy Cagney, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable all drove them. The greatest collection of Auburn, Cord & Duesenberg's anywhere..! Amazing vehicles, the best America has ever produced and made right here in our state of Indiana.. Five Stars, check it out! You never know, you may even get a chance to see Jay Leno who has a habit of dropping in.
Home to some of the ost beautiful cars ever made. A real visual experience to see the craftsmanship of yesteryear.
Outstanding museum. You'll need a full day if not more to see this. There's also a separate museum in the next building but I spent my whole day here. I'll have to catch it next time through.
