nzcarnerd Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I wonder if this is a late production car - from the smaller wheels and skirted front fenders - or if it is an early one rebodied. I hope we hear from a Duesenberg expert. Hard to date the photo when the only other car in the pic is also pre WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Randy or Chris will chime in with the J number I'm sure. Looks to be an update on a Murphy Conv Coupe. Note the hood extends all the way to the windshield - a Bohman & Schwartz touch. I do not believe it's a JN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisSummers Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 J-240 / 2268, a Murphy Convertible Coupe restyled by Bohman & Schwartz. The gentleman with the car is comedian Ben Blue who is NOT documented as having owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve29 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I noticed the gentlemen by the car has on elevator shoes to make him look taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 If I owned a Duesenberg Roadster I would feel plenty tall enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldenguy Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Steve-- It looks to me that he may be wearing custom made Wellingtons.The toe shape and the type of heel look to be the rage of the day. I also think the casual suit he is wearing was not bought at Sears & Roebuck. ---Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think it really needs whitewalls to give it some pizazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I agree. Duesenbergs need all the help they can get in the pizzazz department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve29 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If I owned a Duesenberg Roadster I would feel plenty tall enough.I agree!! As Seldenguy points out, he is well dressed and these may just be expensive custom made shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
