What elegant automobiles. It's truly sad they weren't appreciated. 😟

Thanks Geoff. I was aware of all but two of these sad tales. Having the money doesn't mean that a person has respect or taste...too bad.

Thanks Geoff. A fascinating read. It is amazing just how many Duesenbergs did survive but we still miss those ones that ‘got away’.

Terrific link Geoff, thanks for sharing. Many years ago, a Las Vegas casino called the Imperial Palace had a collection of at least 30 Duesenberg's. I visited the collection a few times throughout the years. The casino has since closed, and the collection was sold off.
