During one of my many travels around the Western States many years ago I encountered a Duesenberg in Eastern Idaho.
The man that had the car had quite a collection of old vehicles, most of which were parts cars.. The owner of the Duesy had found the car in an old mine in Montana, the car had been used as a power source to run the mine, surprisingly the car was in very good shape. having been protected from the elements by the mine tunnel. The rear portion of the body had been cut off which left the rear portion of the chassis exposed, which allowed for a drive belt to be attached to a rear hub to run mine machinery.
The owner claimed the car would run, he said he would start the engine from time to time. The car was for sale, however, at a price far beyond my means.
Never will forget the grille on the car and the chrome pipes coming out of the hood side panel.
