Steve, your link was missing a digit and wouldn't open. Here's a working one. John, can't wait for the closeups.

I’m glad to have one of these in my collection, purchased directly from Sinclairs.

@jkuvakas I’m assuming you’re talking about the GLM Duesenberg Queen of Diamonds. If so, I’ll keep an eye out. I’ve been on a bit of a lucky streak as of late.

Kudos to Phil Alderman for commissioning such a singular model in the first place.

Amen to that Dave. 

Mine was purchased directly from Phil's Autofare on 2/16/05 and was #46/300 (it has been recently sold). This started a long relationship with Phil including spending a weekend with him both at Pebble Beach and a couple of years later at the Amelia Island concourse. Wonderful guy full of automotive insight, learned much from him. Have not talked to him in years. Anyone with any news of Phil Alderman to share?
