Today, as an automotive collector, the cars from the Auburn Automobile Company (Auburn, Cord & Duesenberg) are classics in every way and always command attention wherever they are seen. For this avid fan, I do my very best to never waste a chance to spend a few moments with one of these wonderful cars whether it is in 1:1 or model form.
A nice selection of models in many scales are there for the appreciation of the collector. In the world of 1:43 there are quite a few options that will help enjoy the elegance of these classics. Do we (I) have enough, nope! I am always looking for something new or different. Today, I'll feature a look at three models, one from each brand.
AUBURN - CORD - DUESENBERG
1935 Auburn 851 Supercharged Phaeton - Great Lighting Models (GLM)
1930 Cord L-29 Town Car Open/Closed Sedan by Murphy & Company - Great Lighting Models (GLM)
1935 Duesenberg Model SJ Dual-Cowl Phaeton by Walker LeGrande & Union City Body Company - Matrix Models

Beautiful cars....back when they were a rolling art form.

@jack-dodds, I agree. But I wonder if they saw them that way. Or did they look at Conestogas and say, "Now, those were the days! That's when wagons were really masterpieces! Nowadays, all cars look the same."

My father was a bit of an early classic car dealer and I recall as a youngster he brought home an Auburn Roadster in silver? I remember that it had exhaust pipes coming out from the side of the engine compartment which we were told we mustn't touch and it had dickey seats in the back, he took my brother and I out for a ride in it, happy days!

Those are really well done models John from a favorite era and are a delight to see. Really tempting models but am selling vs collecting at this point in life. So many nice models being offered now. Imagine the interior detail in is as good as the exterior. Wowza.
Models = Miracles in miniature = Holding History in ones hand
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve

I didn't find yet any Cord that I wish to add to my Collection but I have the KESS 1932 Duesenberg Rollston Torpedo Berline along with the GLM Auburn. I would like to see a quality 1937 Cord Custom Beverly Sedan.

Really great ACD replicas here. All make for remarkably cool models of each of these automobiles.
