alsancle Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Looks like a Murphy Conv sedan. I will say yes but Chris or Randy will know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I was thinking roadster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 I was thinking roadster.I agree. The top is way too short for a convertible sedan plus it looks to have a rear deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Edit: Muphy Conv Coupe. I was fixated on the windshield posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I am suprised any would have been junked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrsCars Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I am suprised any would have been junked.It is in a marque specific yard based on appearances so even if it didn't survive whole it surely went towards resurrecting other cars rather than simply being scrapped, if that's any consolation.

Curti Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 What is that other car? Looks late 30's GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 They were just used/junk cars at one time. Duesenberg restorer Jim Hoe gave a gas station owner $700. for two that were stored in a basement in 1946-47 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) During World War II, someone went into my Grandfather's jewelry store and tried to sell him a Duesenberg, possibly J580, for $500. He was already collecting antique cars, but declined. Edited December 31, 2012 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Even as late as 1970 or so a Duesenberg closed car changed hands locally for $10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) What is that other car? Looks late 30's GM.On the H.A.M.B. there was more to the story and it said that the car you mentioned is a Studebaker.
