The Dussenberg Factory and what the Most Expensive Car in the World Looked Like

I pass by what is left of the Duesenberg factory every day at Harding and Washington here in Indianapolis. At this 17-acre site, they produced the most lavish automobile of the Roaring 20’s. Movie stars and royalty came from around the world to road test them….

All that is left is one smaller building and its facade. While the rest, at Harding and Washington is now the IndyGo bus yard…

Originally built in 1920,  this excellent article goes into more detail about what was where with a lot more about this epic machine.

They had a three decade run here in Indianapolis. Per car price in 2018 dollars – $250,000!
