[edit] Chrysler category

I'm just wondering how Duesenberg gets a "Chrysler category" nod user: stude62 user talk:stude62 01:35, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think I may have the anwser. The aborted Duesenberg revival attempted in 1966 was built with a 1966 Imperial chassis and it had a 440 cid Chrysler engine. SD October 21 2005.

I wonder if there could be a reference to the SSJ, which I think was a special version of the SJ, of which only two were built, one for Clarke Gable and one for Cary Grant JRJW 12 December 2005

[edit] THE 2 IMAGES IN "COMPATIBLE" 3D

This is a popular new technique that is used on several on line college credit classes, and at least 5000 images are on line at sites like the USGS National Park 3D site. (Google for it) The images are in color and have very little artifacting from the 3D. Kids love 3D, and millions of them own the glasses. Old folks like Duesenbergs, but I'd like to see kids and teens have some awareness of their grace and beauty. Compare these three shots below: One is from "commons", the 1932 J, which looks rather muddy, and the other two, in "compatible 3D", illustrate the cool look of the headers and trunk on the j models. The color and shadow detail is superior to the commons image. For the millions of "progressive kids and students", who have the glasses, the effect is stunning! Wikipedia is a 21st century encylopedia. Perhaps you'd prefer black & white Duesenberg images! 69.226.189.210 00:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[Since 2000, original Duesenbergs have typically sold at auction for around two million dollars, US.]


There's already coverage of auction prices.

[edit] A.J. Hoe

Shouldn't A.J. "Jim" Hoe of Old Westbury, L.I. and then of Westport, Connecticut, be mentioned in an article on Duesenburgs? He kept a card file of all Duesenburgs and parts around the U.S. and restored many. --Wetman 07:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Revival

Wasn't there a revival attempt with a blocky modern car in the seventies ? Hektor 20:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
