Notes
  • Significance: The Duesenberg Automobile and Motors Company was incorporated in Indiana in March, 1920. Prior to this, brothers Fred S. and August Duesenberg had operated an engine manufacturing plant in Newark, New Jersey which, before and during World War I, had produced marine motors for U.S. and Allied submarine chasers and airplane motors. The relocation to Indianapolis in 1921 allowed the brothers to continue experimenting with Indy "500" race cars which they had begun in 1911, entering their first race in 1912. The fast, powerful single overhead cam straight eight engines which they had developed were, upon their move to Indianapolis, first manufactured in the factory unit completed by April, 1921 and the connecting, two-story office building (Building #1) completed with its industrial finishes by May, 1921. Thus America's first vertical eight cylinder passenger car engine was put into production at this site. This engine, chassis and custom bodywork became known as the Duesenberg, "The World's Finest Motor Car."
