Pics Greta Garbo Duesenberg
Hello,all.
A story of a particular model.
In 1964,I Had the chance to see the "Greta Garbo " Duesenberg in a meeting at Pittsburgh.The owner was a neighbour to my family,the Dr Erle Healt of Mt Lebanon.I fall in love for this spectacular automobile and did some pics of this car.
In 1969,I taken the decision to make a 1/43?reproduction .
Long time in different show cases following differents living place,the miniature was a part burned because a spot light too close.
Abandonned for 40 years,I give this year a second chance to this model with more documents to work.
In fact,Greta Garbo never owned a Duesenberg,this one was bought by the french artist Syzy Vernon who gives the car to Greta.
There are few pics,the first version,the redone body and the actual model
