Dandy Dave Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Jay has all the fun. 😁 Need to kick some tires and trade stories of making the almost impossible run again with him someday. He ended up with a Duesenberg chassis that was not far from here in "Notorious" Red Petorious's yard. It was in Saugerties, NY. One day years ago I was over there helping a friend that bought an old car load it. Red looked at me and said, "You know how to run that dozer. Get on it, bring it down here, and load that car with it." I did not know him that well at the time but he must have seen me operating equipment at the antique engine shows. It's a small world.

John Kelso Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 My recollection was it was a model A Duesenberg and it was in the basement of his house. Much more than just a chassis. Went to the LA area but not to Leno at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an old Ira Vail Duesenberg race car in South Salem, New York that raced locally in the 1920's. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 A friend of mine was trying to buy it at the time. He was told to stop bidding as Jay Leno was the one making offers beside him. It could have been someone Jay sent to get it to take him out of the loop. As I remember it was in an old storage trailer back from the road a bit with other trailers around it. There was a teens Cadillac Hearst/ flower car in the garage that was there also that was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kelso Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yes it was a sock chassis with most of the body and sheet metal. A few engine parts missing, better than most of the things he had there. It went to the Pasadena area, I know this because I owned a 1/2 interest in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
