@larry-kemling I missed this one when it first came out and had to hunt for it on the secondary market for a while. Great addition!

If there seems to be a fault it’s the extra wide WSW tires,they may in fact be correct for a period of time just not to crazy about their appearance.lol

Great looking model. This is the car (in 1:24 scale by FM) the very first, that I purchased that got me into collecting model cars several years ago.

I have seen the 1:1 years ago and it is an amazing automobile.

...that's a gorgeous 1/43 model of an impressive car! I seem to recall I saw the real one in Vegas (part of that hotel collection) many years ago. 🤔 🤔 🤨

Once again, here's my B&G model of the same car. Hand-made sold by Mikhail Bashmashnikov.

Let's not forget this one either. This 1933 Duesenberg SJ Beverly Sedan (similar to the Twenty Grand) was built for B&G Models by eMc Models in Kjev (Kiev), Ukraine who produce arguably the finest “small batch” 1:43 scale models available. Note the taillights that say "S T O P"

More info from Mikhail on the B&G Duesey: The model was custom made by Pivtorak/EMC for B&G. This project belongs to his company “B&G” (Historic Line/HL-9) and was recommended by Dick Browne at the 2009 Chicago model show. Mikhail coordinated all necessary steps for this project (research, data, photos, dimensions, official permission from “ The Nethercutt Collection “, autographs for the 1st 20 copies from J.Nethercutt, money etc.) The model was then manufactured (Hand-Built) at the EMC premises in Kyiv. As a result the metal plate has the official logo “The Nethercutt Collection" and “B&G/EMC”. When Mikhail brought the 1st finished model in person to the Museum (who worked and helped him all the time), he asked museum personnel if anybody else officially worked on this project, and the answer was "No, only you" (Mikhail). Looks like GLM worked without any permissions or rights. 

BTW mine is #21 of 200.

And while we are discussing long wheelbase Duesenbergs, here is B&G (HL-8) 1931 Beverly J Sedan with body by Murphy. Jay Leno has (or had) this one (Chassis 2508/J-458). It's one of only 100 and Mikhail has one autographed by Jay (but I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong).
