Tonight's Car Crazy program on SPEED featured the Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Museum in Auburn, IN. A very interesting place especially for those who haven't seen it. During the program one of the museum's head honchos talks at length about how an Avanti made him a car guy. In fact, he shows off his car which is on display.

A 63, that the owners owned since 69.
Really liked the building, and the 3 Studebakers on display. Plan on adding a trip to the Cord Museum during next years international.61 Lark

I was there in May and they have a nice history of Studebaker display on the second floor.
Their Avanti is very nice.63 Avanti R1 2788

I have been there several times. The whole museum is incredible. I saw the show on Car Crazy as well last night.

Yes, the ACD museum is, indeed, incredible. My wife & I visited it a number of years ago. I felt that I was in a time warp while walking among the cars on the showroom floor.

Just caught the show this morning on SPEED. Took the road tour to there from the South Bend Natl's in 97, that place is awesome! Nice plug for Avanti as well. I've said it many times before, and will say it again, I sure wish ths Stude Museum could have used the old Adminisrtation Building that way. I know it wasn't feasable or practical, but I sure hate to see that beautiful building in such a high profile location go to waste.
ps. the ACD episode airs again today on SPEED Channel at 4:30 pm EST.
