One of the standout vehicles at the 2021 Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival was the impeccably-restored 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton once owned by American aviator Amelia Earhart. It was a fitting vehicle for the 65th Annual festival given its theme, "Celebrating Women Behind the Wheel".  This Cord 812 became famous because it was in her publicity shots in front of her Lockheed Electra 10E Special. Jack & Laura Smith of Elkhart, Indiana are the current owners of the vehicle.
