Antique Cars, Heritage Museums and Gardens, Sandwich, Massachusetts, USA


Ever hear of the saying, "that's a doozy?" It is supposedly derived from the Duesenberg automobile made in the early 20th century. The company was founded in Des Moines, Iowa in 1913. A "doozy" has come to mean "out of the ordinary" after the automobile which was very fancy and ornate.

This exhibition of antique automobiles offers many early automobile designs lovingly and painstakingly restored to original condition - maybe even better than original.  Below is a very small sample.

1931 Duesenberg

A shiny floor clean enough to eat on.

1932 Packard

1930 Cadillac

1919 Pierce Arrow

And a huge floor to ceiling window/door for moving cars in and out.
