Glenn Pray's Auburn Cord Duesenberg Factory
Celebrates 50 years in 2010
Glenn Pray’s Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company will be celebrating its 50th
Anniversary this year. In May 1960 Glenn Pray made the trip to Auburn,
Indiana and bought the
Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company from Dallas Winslow.
Mr. Winslow had owned it since Auburn ended production in 1936. Glenn had
no idea
how he was going to pay for it, how it was going to be moved or even where
he was going to put it, but that did not stop him. Glenn eventually moved
all of the parts from the original Auburn Factory, inclu ding the parts
bins, to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He immediately started supplying parts to
owners of Auburns and Cords and offering restoration work. Within a few
short years he would put
Modernized versions of the Cord and the Auburn
Speedster back into production.
To celebrate this 50th
Anniversary, Glenn Pray will have an Open House and Car Show at his ACD
Factory, May 7th
- 8th
2010. The Broken Arrow Chamber of Com merce
has asked Glenn to be the Honorary Parade Marshall for the 2010 Annual
Rooster Day Parade. Felix DeGeyter, Glenn’s long time friend and
Auburn-Cord Historian, is looking for at least 25 ACD cars to carry the
Miss Chick contestants. I was there in 2005 and used my car to carry one
of the lovely contestants through the parade. It was definitely a Good
Time.
This should be a Fun and Historical Weekend. Consider making the trip and
DRIVE YOUR CAR. The Factory with all of it's History and the Parts
Inventory is worth the trip alone. Glenn celebrated his 84th Birthday in December.
He still owns the Oldest Automobile Company in the United States. The Auburn
Automobile Company was established in 1900. Glenn has been quite the
Ambassador for the Collector Car Hobby. Make Plans to attend this unique
event in May and help celebrate 50 years at Glenn’s Factory. More
information about the event will follow in the next few month’s.
Contact Felix DeGeyter for current information,
felixdegeyter@yahoo.com.
The ACD Factory telephone number is: 918-251-3161. Felix says to
let it ring a while, he is a Busy Guy!
