What if a car could tell you exactly what people thought luxury looked like nearly 100 years ago? The Duesenberg Model J wasn’t designed to simply get you from Point A to Point B. It was built to make an entrance.

Handcrafted details. Massive proportions. Engineering that pushed boundaries and a price tag that put it firmly in the realm of the extraordinary.

In other words: this wasn’t transportation.
It was a statement and you can still stand next to that statement today at ACDAM.

What modern car do you think gives off the biggest “look at me” energy? 👇

Oh, it’s a BIG deal and here’s why👇

This wasn’t just another Auburn, it was the first new Auburn built under the leadership of E.L. Cord. The second-series 1925 model introduced a fresh look to the buying public and set the stage for the transformation of Auburn that would follow.

Look closely at that body molding: beginning at the center of the radiator shell, sweeping across the hood and flowing down to the beltline. Even in 1925, E.L. Cord was paying attention to the details that would make Auburn stand apart.

And that little figure perched atop the radiator? That’s a Freemason mascot , an example of how owners personalized their automobiles to make them uniquely their own.

So… just a sedan?
Not quite. It’s a piece of Auburn history and an early glimpse of the vision that would help make Auburn automobiles legendary 🚗✨

Come see this 1925 Auburn 8-88 for yourself at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum!
