PICs An oddball from the Duesenberg shelf...
I found it on eBay some months ago:
1921 French GP Duesenberg racer - a modified DG kit

NOTE: the builder installed a (Rio ?) RR engine...
Originally I intended to use it as parts car for my incomplete DG kit, but still did not have the heart to butcher it... 😉

Ralf, what a neat little car. What is that little cage on the left mid engine bay?
I certainly agree with your decision not to use it as a donor car. It looks like a marvelous antique from the time. A thoroughly Charming little replica. Well photographed too!

Thank you, Randall - the cage is a protection for the carburetor, I think.

The original builder sure spent many hours on that. Thanks for preserving it and for sharing pics.
