Steve, I saw that the other day and it brought back great memories. My brother and I pulled a '35 Duesenberg out of a garage in Racine back in 1971 or '72. Nice car, solid, nothing missing. Just "tired" and dirty from sitting for a long, long time.
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.
