The '41 Plymouth thread had me looking at other cars in it's display case - again. Don't seem to notice them as I used to and am glad that John Merritt started the thread that got me to take another look. Am hoping you too will enjoy taking another look.
The two Durhams with their close friends
And their other friends in the display
Sporty Friends
Woody Friends
Duesy Friends - Top Shelf

That's a beautiful display of models. I love the Duesenberg models, especially the black one.

@jcarnutz Actually it's a very dark blue model by B&G, a Murphy J Beverly Sedan from 1931, Chassis No. 2538/J-512. The 1:1 won Best of Show at Greenwich in 2011. The model was an LE of 150, contact Mikhail Bashmashnikov to see if any remain. The taillights even have 'STOP' on them. Here's mine:

Here are a few of my Duesenbergs...
EMC's, Ilario (picture from Carmodels-website) and Stylish Cars (orange and black), which is the most expensive one, where all chrome is silver-plated....
Can't remember the manufacturer of the Bohmann and Schwarz model....

A One43 model commissioned by Autofare (Phil Alderman) The 1935 Duesenberg Model SJ Town Car by Bohman & Schwartz is one of the most famous Duesenbergs on the planet. Only 38 Duesenbergs were produced with a supercharger, and this town car was built on the long 153.5" wheelbase. Originally ordered by actress Mae West, but eventually delivered to Ethel V. Mars of Mars Candy. For many years, this car was restored in silver, which was beautifully modeled by One43 many years ago. Now, only 15 pieces were produced in Black, as it looks today. This is the car that sold for over 3.6 million dollars! Beautifully detailed with fuscia interior and bright chrome trim. Delicate details include the engine turned dashboard and the interior trim. The door handles and hood ornament are extremely fine. Brand new, comes in a deluxe BBR display case with cobblestone base. only 15 pieces were produced in black. Race over to my auctions for more collectible limited edition hand built / handmade 1:43 scale models of historic, vintage, and antique 1930s American cars for your decade of 1930 automobilia collection. Currently on sale and most of the text by Worthpoint

@mg-harv This is a very nice model very close to what the best resin manufacturers have to offer about sharpness of details. Amazing this is metal.

@nickies If you are referring to my Murphy sedan, this is resin actually.
Also, here is the black version of the Ethel Mars car by Matrix.
