To commemorate the ACD Museum's 50th Anniversary, my dear friends and co-workers on the VCCA's G&D magazine, Art Directors Lucy & Steve Blakey, wrote and designed, respectively, a great book for the Museum.  The book is available for $50.00 plus shipping at https://acdamstore.com/products/acdam-50th-anniversary-book-home-of-the-classics.

When I was in my mid teens I saw an Earnest Borgnine movie called The Last Great Ride where he drove a burgundy Deusenberg. It was a beautiful car and started my interest in them.

When I was 18 and drove to College in Oklahoma I detoured to the Auburn Cord Deusenberg museum. I got there 15 minutes before they closed and ran through the place. That was my first time actually seeing a Deusenberg.

Then I saw a white one at the Henry Ford Museum. They have it parked next to a Bugatti Royal.

Then I managed to Visit Straight Eight LLC and saw 3 Deusenbergs and two Cadillac V16s they were working on. I kept my hands to myself. But I really wanted to touch one.

Cool story. Terry Adderly from the Detroit area owned at least 13 Duesenbergs plus Bugattis, mini Bugattis, Packards, Cadillacs, many wood boats including double-hull, lots of other Classics. I think his collection was a stop on the Michigan CLC Driving Tour.

He passed a few years ago and many of his cars were donated to the Gilmore Museum. Fabulous.
