Guest gt350shelb Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Does anyone on forum own any ? Have any Photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It is my guess that most existing duPonts are actually owned by DuPont family members. I photographed one of them at the AACA Grand National in Dover, but I lost (or accidentally deleted) a whole memory card worth of photos from that day and it was one of the vehicles that disappeared into thin air.

Bill Boudway Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi,Funny that you ask.Stan Smith, 111 Linden Hall Road, Boalsburg, PA 16827. (814) 466-6087, stan@meyersmith.com has just published a book on duPont automobiles. The Eight Cylinder duPont. 115 pages. ISBN 978-0-615-25419-7. I believe that the first printing is sold out, but I know that he plans to issue a new edition with added photos.His folks owned a 1929 Speedster, #G-905. The car still exists.I have a photo of the car taken at my place in 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24T42 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I am working on the 75th anniversary web site for the AACA. There have been several duPont cars shown at past AACA meets. To see the cars exhibited -1. Go to the AACA 75th Picasa web albums. I currently have 107 albums of pictures taken from AACA meets and tours. These pictures all appeared in some issue of the <span style="font-style: italic">Antique Automobile.</span>2. Go to the search box at the top right side of the page. Type in "duPont AACA."3. You will get 4 results.1931 DuPont-1958 Hershey1928 DuPont Dual Cowl Phaeton-1965 Hershey1929 duPont-1971 Hershey1930 duPont at AACA Museum (some one else posted this picture)You can also go to the AACA 75th web site and by going to the section marked Timeline can read the review and see the list of winners from those meets as it was reported in the <span style="font-style: italic">Antique Automobile</span> Hope that helps!

West Peterson Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ah, no. That would be a 1929 Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Isn't there a DuPont in the AACA Museum? and of course I agree with West, a DuPont is very distinctive from the front view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRN Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I recently sent Stan Smith some older 1929 duPont photos of Model G #903. It had belonged to my father. Maybe he would share them with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 West, since you have time to respond on the forum can I ask you to get me that little project I have been asking about? Also, the AACA Museum does have a DuPont. It was a gift from MBNA <span style="font-style: italic"> </span> prior to the bailouts! <span style="font-style: italic"> </span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Many years ago a good friend of mine was working with Stan Smith and arranged for me to see his cars. I have to admit that I was far more impressed with the Mercer, but I believe he had the remains of two DuPont cars there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A couple of years ago Hyman Ltd had a unrestored dupont sedan for sale. It was mostly complete and not crazy money as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Indianfour Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Indiana Region Classic Car Club of America: In the mid-sixties, Mrs. Gladys Gehrt owned and displayed a Dupont Speedster at the Grand Classic held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Later on, this car was driven on the Indiana--Kentucky "Blue-Grass" Classic car caravan and was driven by a very good friend and Classic Car owner, Jim Silvey who is now deceased. Those were the days!!!This was a high-point car, very desirable and attracted attention every where it appeared. What an automobile!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24T42 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 A duPont also was on the front cover of the <span style="font-style: italic">Antique Automobile</span> - the July-August issue of 1973 1929 duPont on cover of AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigersdad Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 When I first looked at the picture that Keiser 31 posted of the "DuPont", I said to myself, "That front end looks exactly like my Cadillac!" "It is a Cadillac!" Thought I might have gotten lucky buying a DuPont in drag! Ha!Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
