The shot was taken at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum located in Auburn, Indiana. The museum has a great collection of Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg vehicles (hence the name of the museum) as well as some other vintage cars. The museum is housed in an old Auburn showroom and it located at the original Auburn factory.
