ACD Factory story on Prewarcar.com

They also published the story when the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company was inventoried.

 Felix DeGeyter, General Manager of the
Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company.
After weeks of sorting and tagging parts,
we were ready to match the part number,
 and the proper names of the parts.

 The original inventory books from the
Auburn Automobile Company.
These books without a doubt, were key
in helping us identify the parts.

Piles of original parts, most untouched for over 50 years.

When I made this sign,
I didn't think they would really take me up on the offer.
See the link for the complete story that has been published several times on the internet, and in various car club newsletters.

Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company, Broken Arrow, OK

No, I really did not want to stick my hand in there!!
Yes, I will do what ever it takes to get the parts for my Auburn.
I went to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company in November 2010, to help with the inventory of the company.  It was a great opportunity to locate the missing parts for my car.  There are hundreds of these bins with unknown parts in them, and the only way to find out what was there, was to stick my hand in.  Oh God, yes, I wanted to die!!  I did this so many times, and no, I never really got over this dreadful feeling.
