The 1940 Duesenberg SJ Convertible Town Car is all about puttin' on the Ritz. One interesting feature on this car is the exhaust system. To have the exhaust gases clear the twin spare tires, there's a metal baffle that shuttles the gases past them. Really unusual is the exhaust bypass with a screw off dump. Someone was performance minded. LOL

Am I wrong, or is that car a full city block long? Spectacular shots! You so well capture the luxuriousness of the model/car!

@perrone1 It's just short of your average tractor-trailer.

I have a John Deere Tractor with a John Deere Trailer and I'll bet I can out-turn that Duesey puppy!!  Laughter To Tears
