I recall a straight on front view which reveals how the body widens from the cowl like buses in the era did. The tall overall height, cut-off sausage rear body, heavily rounded window openings and 'humpback whale' side-mount covers all told make this the hands-down worst body any Duesenberg was saddled with. Wouldn't you know it, many of the gorgeous one-off custom bodies have been lost, but this atrocity survives.

58L-Y8 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 His disciples should have bought him a White truck chassis, sent that to Bohmann & Schwartz! They could have chromed the radiator shell and put white-walls on it, That rear view is as ungainly and ghastly as all the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a photograph of this REO new probably needs to be found - it was a significant car for REO and a photo of it should exist as a new car - If someone photographed it post WWII then there are also Pre-WWII photos of it out there. Of course there are plenty of car that should have photos new and unfortunately do not - but we keep looking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Mereness Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) From Hervé Pannier on Facebook Elegance competition on August 1932, 22 in Vichy, M. and Mrs. Rosenwald William presents their Duesenberg Enclosed by Murphy. You will notice that the registration is KF1 and this is for American nationals. Foreigners passing through France, they had a special registration so that we can differentiate between French and foreigners. Article:These are in particular the departments which have reserved complete series to organize separate management of the registrations allocated to the vehicles of foreign tourists from countries not signatory to the conventions on international traffic of 1909 and 1926. Indeed, until the creation of the TT series (Temporary Transit) in 1933, these vehicles were re-registered in the normal series when they arrived in France. As the first of these countries was the United States, whose nationals disembarked by the thousands through the ports of the Channel, it is not surprising to count there the Lower Seine (Department) block XB and the Channel (Department) Series KF1.

WOW how cool is this, never ever heard or seen this before! Thanks Colin.

The true elusive roadster that is the "I know where there is a missing Model J" car................that everyone knows about. Last I knew it was partially disassembled, and the family still doesn't want to be bothered by anyone asking if it's for sale.........someday we will see it on the lawn at Pebble.....and maybe by then, we will know who built the body........ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
