I like seeing other Speedsters displayed at shows, reading about them and drooling over photo's of
them. Thanks to all of the research that has gone into a really neat
website, www.imcdb.org. I am now able to track down the movies that
Auburns have appeared in, dating back to when they were New Cars. The website, "Internet Movie Cars
Database", allows you search by vehicle to see what movies they have
been used in. Needless to say ACD cars have appeared in many movies, past
and current. Just be warned, once you find the movie listings you will
then start searching for these old movies to add to your collection... It
is a sickness I know. I just hope that they never find a cure for it.

voted on to rename the "Replica" classification for shows. Replica ACD
cars displayed at the 2009 Auburn Indiana National Meet will now be
referred to as "2nd Generation" Cars.
The Antique Automobile Club, last year, also created guide lines for a 2nd
Generation Car classification. AACA guide lines are more defined than the
ACD clubs at this time.

Coffin Nose Cord replica body, inspired by the 1937 Cord. This is the
company's first electric vehicle. The Cord is powered by a TransWarP 11
Electric Motor and uses Speedster Motorcars Generation III chassis. There
is no
doubt that this Cord will draw a lot of attention
and questions where ever it goes. Speedster
Motorcars, Jeff Akins, has provided plenty of
photo's chronicling the Electric Cord project. Follow the build of this very unique Cord by visiting their website:

from around the world. If you own an ACD Car or have ever dreamed of owning
one, you must make the trip to "Auburn". My first time was in 1978. I was
21 years old. I met Gordon Buehrig and Glenn Pray that year. Needless to
say, I was hooked. I have returned almost every year since. The Featured
Car for 2009, was the Cord L-29. The L-29 turned 80 this year. Along with
the L-29's were hundreds of other Cord's, Auburn's and Duesenberg's.
This was the first year that the ACD Clubs Saturday morning Car Show was open to the public. You do not have to be a
