Default Re: 1931 Duesenberg Model J was hidden in garage

The man I knew in Eastern Idaho, (Idaho Falls) that had the ' Mine Found' Duesenburg in a shed had a radiator repair business with a large collection of Stuff in sheds, etc., behind his business.
I can't remember his name, he had somewhat of an unusual personality, if he liked you you were in, if not he was liable to sick the dogs on you.
I bought a '51 Chevy 2dr sdn from him that had been in a garage fire which damaged the trunk area. The car was actually in excellent condition forward of the trunk. I bought the car to repair a '51 Chevy BelAire hard top that some lame brain cut the running gear off of for scrap.
I put the complete chassis from the 2dr under the BelAire which made it into a running/driving car.
The man I sold the car to was very happy with it, paint and upholstery made it into a very nice car.
