The Auburn Automobile Company was founded in 1900. Under the management of Errett Lobban Cord, the Duesenberg Automobile and Motors Company was purchased in 1926, and became part of the Auburn Group. In 1929 the first Cord was introduced with the model L 29. This was also the first American front-wheel-drive production car. Also in 1929 the Duesenberg Model J was introduced, one of the most famous and desired cars of all time. 1936 brought the Cord 810 with front-wheel-drive and a revolutionary design. |
