ORDER FROM THE MUSEUM STORE ANYTIME AT store.automobilemuseum.org | 2 New Special Exhibit Debuts in November – Cars of the Stars By Jon Bill, Curator

Auburns and Cords have always been known for their rakish style and stunning performance. As such, they attracted more than their fair share of attention from the public when they were new. Their eye-catching appearance made these in-vogue automobiles even more appealing to celebrities. The museum’s curatorial department has developed a special exhibit dedicated to the immortals that were owners of some of our favorite vehicles. The staff selected three American heroes of the 1920s and 30s, and cars like the ones they drove, to represent the many notable individuals that enjoyed ownership of the products from the Auburn Automobile Company. The exhibit is located in the Gallery of Excellence and Innovation on the upper level of the museum. The display is set to open on November 19.

BABE RUTH AND THE 1926 AUBURN 8-88 ROADSTER Babe Ruth of baseball’s New York Yankees’ “Murderer’s Row” was without a doubt the most famous athlete of his time. In 1926, he was presented with a new Auburn 8-88 Roadster by the magazine “Police Gazette.” Auburn, always on the lookout for publicity, was quick to make this fact known to potential customers. The photograph and caption taken from an original 1926 issue of “The Accelerator” (sent to Auburn dealers) underscores this point. The museum’s 1926 Auburn 8-88 Roadster is virtually identical to the Babe’s car and will be on display with a life-size cut-out of the “Sultan of Swat,” to provide great photo opportunities for museum visitors.

3 | MUSEUM OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK 9 AM – 5 PM AMELIA EARHART AND HER 1937 CORD 812 Few Americans have sparked the imagination of our nation like Amelia Earhart. She was an inspiration to all. Her adventurous spirit and love of aircraft and flying, put her in the world’s spotlight. What better car for her to drive than an aircraft- inspired new Cord. Earhart’s husband, George Putnam, gifted her with a 1937 Cord shortly before her fateful attempt to circumnavigate the globe.

Amelia Earhart proudly displays her new Cord Phaeton next to “The Flying Laboratory” her Lockheed Electra 10E at Purdue University Airport. A life-size cut-out of Ms. Earhart will accompany the exhibit with a Cord Convertible finished in Cigarette Cream, a light-yellow hue. Yellow was her favorite color.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND HIS CORD L-29 CABRIOLET Frank Lloyd Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as “The Greatest AMELIA EARHART AND HER 1937 CORD 812 American Architect of All Time.” He also had a fascination with automobiles, purchasing his first car in 1909, a Stoddard-Dayton roadster. Wright went on to own more than 50 cars until his death in 1959. He drove many exotic cars as well as some less expensive vehicles. Wright was a fan of the Cord L-29 and owned two during his lifetime. He wrote, “I became a Cord owner because I believe the principle of the front drive to be logical and scientific, therefore, inevitable for all cars. The proportion and lines of the Cord come nearer to expressing the beauty of both science and logic than any other car I have ever seen.” The museum is fortunate to hold one of his Cords in our permanent collection along with Wright’s 1952 Crosley Super Sport Roadster that was in his fleet of small cars.

Adderley "What happened here will stand through time as an inspiring example of how the dreams of the American automobile industry became a reality." -Terence E. Adderley

The museum family received somber news on October 11, 2018 – news that Terence Adderley had passed away the day before. I know the museum will not be the same without Terry, but it is my understanding that the museum may have never been if it weren’t for Terry. He believed in this museum from its very beginning when pillars of the community were aspiring to save the Auburn Automobile Company Administration Building from the wrecking ball, wanting to start a museum as a testament to the highly revered Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg automobiles that were associated with the Cord Corporation. Terry had a few of those cars in his private collection and became a familiar face at the annual Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club reunions.

He believed in the museum’s importance in commemorating American history, stating “What happened here will stand John Souder through time as an inspiring example of how the dreams of the American In Memoriam automobile industry became a reality.” He believed so strongly, that he co- signed the mortgage to purchase the John Souder has always been an artist who was ahead of his time museum building in 1973.

The Auburn Automobile Company Administration Building is part of the campus where cars were hand-assembled, rather than mass-produced. The Showroom and administrative buildings were designed by architect Alvin M. Strauss in Art Deco style and were built in 1930. The approximate cost to build was $450,000.

Strauss was an Indiana architect and designer of many landmark buildings in Indiana and Ohio during the early twentieth century. He was born in Kendallville, Indiana, to German immigrants and later apprenticed under prominent architects in Chicago and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Strauss founded his own practice in Fort Wayne in 1918. Among his commissioned works are the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, the Clyde Theatre, the Lincoln Bank Tower, and the Embassy Theatre and Indiana Hotel in Fort Wayne as well as the Brokaw Theatre in Angola, Indiana.

The facility’s showroom and administrative buildings, the service and new parts building, and the L-29 Service and Parts building were together declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005 (the highest designation in the country). The Secretary of the Interior stated that this site has been found to possess exceptional significance in illustrating or commemorating the history of the United States for the benefit and inspiration of the American people. The museum joins a total of over 2,500 National Historic Landmarks, 22 of which are in Indiana. The museum is located in the former international headquarters building of the Auburn Automobile Company and is recognized as one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the Midwest. It was designated an Indiana State Historic Site in 1992.
