Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was established by former schoolteacher Glenn Pray in 1967. The company emerged from Pray's earlier venture of constructing replicas of the Cord 810, which had seen moderate success.
In its production years, Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg focused on replicating classic automobiles, notably the 1935 Auburn boat-tail speedster. This model featured a fiberglass body mounted on a Ford chassis, powered by a 7000cc Ford V8 engine. The company maintained a reputation for high-quality craftsmanship in its vehicles, which were sold fully assembled. In 1975, the lineup expanded to include a four-door boat-tail phaeton, further diversifying the offerings of the brand.
The company operated until 1975, marking a brief but notable chapter in the history of American automotive manufacturing, particularly in the realm of classic car replicas.
