Just in today is this model by Evrat. It represents Chassis 2323, Engine J-318. Originally beige and brown, the car was subsequently restored as shown, in gray, dark gray (almost bluish-gray) and red. According to ultimatecarpage.com, LeBaron made 27 phaeton bodies for Duesenberg, but this one is unique, combining a barrelside style with a long wheelbase chassis. In 2023 it sold at Pebble Beach for $2.975M.
Evrat does the original beige/brown version as well as a top down version of this one. However, I found the windshields on those two to be a tad too high and slightly too upright. But this version has the right look about it.

The model looks great. Evrat is new to me. Is this a new company?

A beautiful model for sure. Congrats on the new acquisition. I've ordered one. I was on-the fence figuring I didn't need another Duesenberg but your photos and info has convinced me otherwise.

@ed-davis Hi Ed They have been around for a few years.
First releases were superb Bugatti kits created for Evrat by Christian Guoel (CG Models & SLM43) and there are also beautifully finished grand roadsters produced and presented to the same standard as Carbone. Made in France. Ref Grand Prix Models
Their EVRAT 200 range is the continuation of the Chromes range, where to their experience, can offer models
of exceptional quality for a more accessible price. Ref Evrat website:

@ed-davis Ed - Further to what Chris said, I've posted a couple of Evrat models here before, both Bugattis, a Type 57 barn find and the Type 37 owned by Jay Leno. Try also mafma.com.

I just saw my first Evrat model firsthand...incredible! Just look at how the crystal hood ornament was recreated on this Delage! Spectacular!

That Delage is a beauty Dave. The Evrat range has a lot of great French classics.

Harv - Are they all made in China now? Are your 2 older ones still made in France? They are all gorgeous regardless...

@karl I believe they are now. My white Bugatti was assembled by none other than Christian Gouel. The Type 57 may or may not have been, I cannot tell. I seem to recall that the range was reintroduced some years ago with a renumbering beginning around 200 and these are Chinese-made.

I've read about Christian Gouel - his stuff is amazing, like your Bug!
