We'd scraped $5000 together and brought that beast home. Dad, as always "blew his mind" and threatened to kick me and my brother out if we didn't get rid of "that old car".
Well, we did. Made darn near $10k within a month. Not bad in 1972!
Car went to a collector out west. I can no longer recall his name. Leo Gephart? He was known at that time for his Duesenberg's.

Leo resided in AZ later in life, he restored the stainless 36 Tudor too. A relative that existed before my time bought a Model J new. My grandmother remembered riding in the car, and I’ve seen it. It’s well known in the Duesenberg circles but an otherwise plain J.
