1921 Duesenberg 183 Grand Prix Race Car

Come for a ride in this 1921 Duesenberg that was the pinnacle of American luxury and performance over 100 years ago! This was the first passenger vehicle built by the Duesenberg brothers after their years of experience building race cars. You can see it on display at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana! #DriveHistory #Duesenberg #CastleDuesenberg #AuburnCordDuesenbergMuseum | Hagerty Drivers Foundation

This 1921 Duesenberg has a starter button, but not the kind you see on modern cars! Brandon Anderson from the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum shows the starting procedure on this 100 year old car that was the pinnacle of American luxury, power, and refinement when it was new. This 1921 Duesenberg was the first production car built by the Duesenberg brothers, and was custom made for it's first owner. It is also the 27th vehicle to be added to the National Historic Vehicle Register. #Driv

The Duesenberg brothers had a friend who, with thier combined genius, developed an engine for WWI. This U-16 engine was featured recently by Bradey Gerke in Old Cars and we thought we’d give a closer look 👀 Thanks Bradey for highlighting a piece of Duesenberg history 🙌 | Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum
