I had the opportunity to visit the Auburn Cord and Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn Indiana. This museum is in the original factory showroom. Many of these cars are simply one of a kind prototypes, production, and other rare vehicles that you will never see anywhere. Simply put, I believe it is the single greatest collection of luxury cars in America.

This museum not only shows many Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg, cars in it but also has Cadillac, Pierce Arrow, Jaguar, Lincoln, Zimmerman, Ruxton, Mitchell, McIntyre, IMP, Boat Tale, Speedsters, Engines, and other rare automobiles that were manufactured from the early 1900's up to the ;ate 1930's.

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.
