The Richard H. Driehaus Collection's futuristic 1948 Tucker is on a yearlong loan , in Auburn, IN, along with an important group of interpretative objects from the collection.
ACDAM acts as custodian for the rich heritage of automobiles produced in Indiana under the Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg nameplates, as well as vehicles of other origins, such at the Tucker.
Be there!

“Billed as ‘The First Completely New Car in Fifty Years’, the Tucker brought about excitement in design, technological innovations, and safety standards,” ACD said.

The Richard H. Driehaus collection's 1926 Miller Locomobile Junior 8 Special won two awards at the 70th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, held this past Sunday, August 15th: it received a Second in Class from among a highly competitive group of historic Miller race cars; and the Tony Hulman Award for the most significant open wheel race car, a prize donated by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
This car started the Indianapolis 500 twice, earning a 7th place finish in the 1928 edition of the race. Please join us in celebrating the rich legacy of American automotive design and engineering, and the lifelong work of Richard Herman Driehaus in assembling some of the best examples of that legacy. We lost Richard this year, so these accolades come as a fitting tribute to his commitment to the cause. Cheers to you, Richard!
