Audrain's Newport Concours d'Elegance 2019 - Highlights
I've done my best to identify the various automobiles and in some cases have added a brief summary of the history of the models, many of which I had never heard of previously.
If you know of a make, model or year of an auto featured here please let me know so I can accurately update the site. jack@jackcaseyphoto.com
1930 Duesenberg
According to Wiki, "Duesenberg Motors Company (sometimes referred to as "Duesy") was an American manufacturer of race cars and high-end luxury automobiles. It was founded by brothers August and Frederick Duesenberg in 1913 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where they built engines and race cars. The brothers moved their operations to Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1916 to manufacture engines for World War I. In 1919, when their government contracts were cancelled, they moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and established the Duesenberg Automobile and Motors Company, Inc. (Delaware). In late 1926, E.L. Cord added Duesenberg to his Auburn Automobile Company. With the market for expensive luxury cars severely undercut by the Great Depression, Duesenberg folded in 1937".
