From this point on, the vehicles were now Auburns, developed by Cord and Duesenberg together. The Duesenberg vehicles always had a high standing, as well as the highest price, in the Cord Company. Duesenberg automobiles were trendsetters, not only due to its reliability but also because of its technical solutions.
