Not to get into a class struggle, and I am by no means trying to offend anyone, but those that can afford to own a Duesenburg CAN afford to "drive them like theyre stolen'. If something breaks, they have the means and the people to fix and take care of them. For the rest of us plebeians a 20k-50k car is a luxury that needs to be well taken care of and maintained usually by our own hands. This is not a knock on anyone from either side of the railroad tracks, just the way it is.
Just think of all the jobs and families that were feed by the guys that owned the railroads, they also sold the land cheap that was in the right of way of the tracks.

Maybe it is an ultra rare left hand exhaust conversion on the J, The Haynes Apperson looks nice.

The question was posed because other than only 18 being made it has little to no significance. What if only 9 were made? What if only one were made? Rarity has little to no relationship with quality or engineering innovation. But I do understand the drive to bring something old back to life. I'm probably more addicted than most with that trait but I think it's kind of a stretch to think that resurrecting someone's folly has any historical value other than as a curiosity. ....Bob
My definition of Tuckers, thank you. Bob

I watched the video, and think the car needs a more experienced restorer, with access to a cabinet shop.

McCormick's invention also allowed the harvest to be collected quickly with less people, that really mattered during the Civil War.

Did he have to walk across the street to discover it?

Am I the only one that has bought back issues of Hemmings at a literature auction? Yes, the ownership of them mattered. In 1957 a complete 1912 T, less the brass lights was listed for $400.00. Bob

AACA President Ron Barnett had one, I think it is still in the family collection. Great find, hope the restoration goes well.

The K the Kelly family owns was a Harrahs car, and Elmer Bemis before that. I’m not sure on the other 06 touring.
So, the Elmer Bemis K is NOT the K Mark Smith owned??????? Ever since 1961 I've thought this was the Bemis K, and it has a lot of features of the former Mark Smith K. Henry Austin Clark took the photo and on the back of the card states the car was restored by Joseph W. Suydam.

Yesterday I was rattling around in my garage shelves containing all sort of automotive paper. I stumbled upon the catalog for the one of the Harrah’s 1980’s auctions. One entry was the Duesenberg Indy car. I’m quite familiar with the Millers but was unaware of the Duesenberg. Where is the Duesie now?
That was the ex Tiny Gould car if it carried a white and maroon paint job.

They failed to mention if the owner drove the car into the garage or backed it in. I've always thought it was classier to back them in so they are read to go. Lost my brakes in the winter on a down hill and used the parking brake and years NASCAR viewing to avoid any problems at the bottom of the hill. Continued home a bit slower then scrapped the car.

Bill Harrah had two K Touring cars Tim Kelly later had one and toured in it a lot. The other K had the early high radiator, is that the same K that Bill Lasiter had maybe 20 years ago?

"Rat Rod" still works, listed a license plate bracket last night and added it to the title, it was sold and paid for this morning.

Did "Route 66" feature a new Corvette every year?

Thank you for posting the photos, nice collection of cars.

I've been searching for an SS or Jaguar Fordor that looks this nice and haven't found one, maybe they never built one, lots of very nice Tudors, but no fours.

There was a K touring owned by a fellow who's last name was Church, is that the same car Mark Smith owned?

The number is a little higher but I said only 5 touring's left.
The Tim Kelly K Touring is still in his family, the former Bill Harrah Touring.

Great to see that K out on the road again! I think the total number of running K's is a bit higher. Bob

Great race, happy to see that the guy that won made that move that put him in the lead. Not the race it once was when you could name about all the drivers. Now for 600 miles of NASCAR racing.

Look forward to overall photos of what you found.

If I saw something for sale in the classified section a month ago, and remembered the sellers name, how can I find the listing again? Where would go to search, what keys have to be pushed, and what info needs to be added? Thank you!

Nice parade vehicle, why they pined 1902 on it is anyone's guess. I've seen photos of it or a sister car in auto magazines years ago.
-
Nice video, where were they?

Super rare Keller Super Chief found in junk yard

Cars are a lot more than metal and upholstery. I can't think of the Keller without remembering Ron Barnett, I miss him. I think he had something to do with the early years of this Forum.
