The ACD Story
The Auburn Automobile Company closed it's doors in 1937. The Company and it's remaining parts inventory were purchased by Dallas Winslow, a Detroit entrepreneur in 1938 for $85,000 plus an additional $25,000 for the Auburn administration building. This newly acquired company was renamed the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company. Buying up bankrupt manufacturing companies was Mr. Winslow's forte. Dallas Winslow would eventually own over 300 such companies. Mr. Winslow would continue to operate these old businesses as parts suppliers. The Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company (ACD Co.) would not only offer replacement parts to the now orphaned car owners, but would also offer service work. Later on, restoration work would be available at the original Auburn, Indiana factory by former Auburn employees.

RISKO CAR RETURNS RESTORED AND TAKES 1ST PLACE!

The famous "boxer car" made it's debut at The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival in Auburn, Indiana, Labor Day Weekend and the crowds went wild! We heard comments like, "Your car is incredible!", "It's so elegant" and one gentleman even said that out of all of the 40 plus Speedsters in attendance, ours was the best! Hearing statements like this make all the hard work and long summer days and nights worthwhile for the team here at ACD.
The 1929 Auburn 8-120 Speedster was purchased new by Boxer Johnny Risko and later extensively modified. He kept the car until his death in 1953. When the new owner, Alan Atkinson, commissioned us to restore this car to its former glory, we gladly accepted the challenge!
Less than a year later, the "Johnny Risko" Speedster took primary first place in its class at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival!
Thank you to the wonderful individuals who helped to put on the event, the knowledgeable judges and our amazingly hard-working team here at The Original Auburn Cord Duesenberg Co.! Thank you, Doug, Bryan, Joe, Harley, Craiton and Luke. Special thanks to Bobby at South East Auto Trim/Dent Genie and Bill Bicknell for their expertise.
