I'm assuming this is an annual event - Parade of Cars plus car auction, but their webiste isn't really clear.
From their website (which is for the September 1-5, 2011 Festival):
Auburn, Indiana is THE place to be Sept. 1-5, 2011 as the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival celebrates its 55th anniversary. Discover why over 200,000 visitors from across the U.S. and overseas keep coming back year after year to Auburn, Home of the Classics.
Over 3000 collector vehicles will go across the auction blocks of two of the world’s leading auction houses. Worldwide Auctioneers will present their largest Auburn Auction to date. The Auburn Auction is an exciting, three day event offering a varied lineup of quality vehicles including The Grateful Dead Tour Bus and nineteen motorcars from The DeSimone Collection being offered entirely without reserve. The Main Event, a Catalogue Series Auction, will be Saturday evening and includes significant automobiles in the car collecting world. A 1912 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost is considered one of the most unique in the history of the Rolls-Royce cars. Auctions America by RM offers 4 days packed with buying and selling cars. In their second year of offering The Auburn Fall Auction after purchasing the Auburn Auction Park in 2010, Auctions America by RM will nearly double the event this year. 1200 cars are expected to cross their auction rings, and 1000 private owners will offer cars for sale in a car corral. RM has teamed with Carlisle Events to host the swap meet with over 3000 spaces. Auctions America has recently created a vintage motorcycle division and will present their first extensive bike offering during the Auburn Fall event. The Rag Tops Auto Museum collection will be offered without reserve. The Museum collection, spanning almost a century of automobile history, represents a diverse range of automotive tastes, with an emphasis on great American classics. Both auction sites offer a car corral, vendors and free parking. Shuttle bus service is provided Friday-Sunday to the auction parks from downtown ACD Festival event sites.
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum will host several events including the sixth annual ACDA Museum Benefit Extavaganza, Art Show & Sale, Connecting Rods Luncheon and the annual members only Gala Ball.
Celebrating “The 75th Anniversary of the 810 Cord” and its own 56th Annual Reunion, The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club has planned a calendar filled with activities for their members and the public to enjoy. Friday activities include a swap meet, Vintage Treasure Sale and Ladies Tea. The ACD cars will be on display Saturday morning at Eckhart Park along with an exposition of Cord “cousins”.
ACD Festival activities begin early with the annual Garage Tour taking place the weekend prior to Labor Day weekend. Auburn is THE place to be Friday evening as the popular Friday night Cruise-in attracts over 700 vehicles and thousands of spectators. Enjoy an ice cream Sundae on Friday as you check out hot rides ranging from street rods to Duesenbergs and everything in-between! The Saturday ACD Parade of Classics will honor the late creative car design genius Gordon Buehrig by naming members of Buehrig’s family as Parade Grand Marshalls.
