Saturday August 30 Auburn Cord Duesenberg Parade/Musem/Auction
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival is held every Labor Day. During the Parade of Classics on Saturday, you can see celebrities and many antique automobiles. The small town of Auburn, population 11,000, is increased to over 300,000 during the event. At the international collector auction, classic, collectible cars are auctioned, with bidders setting new records nearly every year. In 1972, Greta Garbo's Duesenberg was sold for $90,000, quite a fortune at that time. During the Parade of Classics, held on Saturday, several hundred Auburns, Cords and Duesenbergs will roar to life down the streets, strutting their stuff. Each is a fine example of craftsmanship and a sight to behold. These cars are still considered the archetype of style and performance. Classic car lovers won't want to miss this event. The museum is located on Interstate 69, about 25 miles north of Fort Wayne, Indiana. ....more information to come!
