Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum

The Auburn-Dusenberg-Cord Museum in Auburn, Illinois was a total splurge when Conner and I passed through. Although, by this point (in September 2010) we had been on the road for a couple months and felt like we hadn't really seen or done anything because we were afraid of spending the money. So we decided to just forget about our dwindling bank account and have some fun. Plus, if we needed to then we could make a pit-stop in North Carolina, stay with my folks, get jobs, and save up some more gas money. At $10 per ticket, this museum was a total splurge, but one of the nicest I've been too.The whole museum is housed in the old Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg (aka the ACD Museum) headquarters; a beautiful art deco building. The thing I loved most about these cars was all the details...I took a lot of detail shots. We posted all of the photos here.
The smaller headlights are attached to the steering shaft so that when you turn the wheel, the lights turn in the same direction; and look at that cute little horn.
Turn signal with a little arrow.
