– The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival in Auburn, Indiana is rolling into its 67th year. It started in 1956 with a handful of ACD enthusiasts and has been the annual reunion event for ACD lovers and top-tier judging ever since. Each year the ACD Club and ACD Festival have coordinated staging these amazing cars on location the week before to promote the annual Labor Day Festival. Bill Hohler, ACD Festival Board member and ACD Club member states “The Hoosier Tour has been visiting regional cities for nearly 50 years. We are excited this will be our first visit to Carmel! We applaud their initiative to include automotive sculptures in their cityscape and we look forward to visiting Wednesday, August 30th.
35+ Auburns Cords and Duesenbergs will be rolling into town via police escort from a personal garage tour, making their way past the ACD Sculpture on 96th Street and
Delegates Way and ending up at Carter Green from 11:30-2:30 for display. The
Hoosier Tour participants are being hosted by Hotel Carmichael for a special lunch in the Cole Porter Ballroom with a presentation by sculpture artist Arlon Bayliss on his artistic process. Although the lunch is ‘invite only’, everyone is encouraged to stroll around Carter Green during that time and take pictures of these fascinating vehicles!
“We are thrilled to welcome the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival to Carmel and look forward to celebrating these classic cars with their owners,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “We share their passion for these beautiful classics, which inspired us to install a series of classic car sculptures within the roundabouts on 96th Street, two of which are completed and two more to come.”
