With all the Duesenberg enthusiasts looking to reduce stress, I thought this would be a worthwhile contribution. Where is it today? Nettercutt Museum 20 Grand. It use to be in the Twin Cites Minnesota. I believe Mr. Archer from the company ADM owned it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 I saw that tan Minerva yesterday again, it is in a friends shop and he owns the car. Very very happy that he finally owns the car - it has an excellent home. Perfect fellow to have the car in his collection. I have many period photographs taken at the European motor shows and salons in the pre WWII era about to appear in a magazine that has just been mailed to subscribers , just so many more that need to be in a follow up story at some point . All taken by a professional photographer when the shows happened in the ca. 1927 to 1937 era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had some family history to go with them. Notice the group standing across the fence watching. Must be a local race or speed event. I think this photo is from the same event as the 6/17 photo. December 1930 scribbled on the back. Apologies for the poor quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Smits Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) If I posted this previously I apologize. 1912 Studebaker/Flanders from a sales book in my collection. This is the year Studebaker took control of EMF and rebadged the Flanders 20. This allowed Studebaker to cancel their long-standing contract with Garford and start manufacturing a complete car Edited June 21, 2021 by Robert G.

oldcarfudd Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It's interesting how the catalog illustrators drew the cars with tiny people. The Flanders was a Model T-size car, but the people are so small that they're looking through the lower half of the windshield. Baloney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Ah, advertising illustration and photographic reality are two different things. Attached are two bits of advertising for the 1939 Chrysler. The illustrated versions of the Chrysler makes it low low, sleek, and fast. One illustration shows a black 4-door and a red 2-door, the second illustration shows people sitting three abreast in a portion of a yellow Chrysler, with a low and sleek red 4-door is below it. Comparing the head room that the three people have in the yellow car with the squat / squashed appearance of the red 4-door, "Royal" model, one has to question to integrity of the advertisement. The attached photos of a '39 Chrysler black 4-door, and a '39 Chrysler Royal 2-door shows the reality of the illustrator's artistic license. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 There are a lot of people on this forum who have sharp eyes for detail. It is surprising that no one has yet chimed in with an artistic detail in the 1939 Chrysler advertising photo. In the upper right of the illustration there appears to be a 1938 Dymaxion. The shark fin on the rear of the illustrated Dymaxion is so shaded that it is nearly invisible on first inspection of the illustration, nonetheless the fin is there on close inspection. The other subtle artistic impression is the sweep of the '39 Chrysler roof line more closely matches the trailing roofline of the Dymaxion than it does the actual Chrysler car. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The white Cadillac is interesting. It reminds me of two Cadillac photos that have been posted on this forum a good while back. (I keep virtually all of the posted photos on an off-board drive.) One forum photo is captioned 1931 Cadillac Hose Car, while the second photo was simply labeled Cadillac fire truck. A question then arises, is the white Cadillac a modified Madam X (that catches AACA people's hair on fire), or is it actually a Cadillac fire truck / hose truck reborn as a civilian "classic car?" As a fire hose car or fire truck it is a curiosity, but as a civilian classic car it is difficult to un-see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a great eye for details. Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe it is time to get my Cateracts done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
