And the last picture attached confirms my story. It's not a Duesenberg, but rather a Bugatti Type 101C designed by Exner. I believe there was another which was a Stutz.

You're right Ferrer. This Duesenberg is part of the "Revival Cars" project by Virgil Exner. Ex designed seven cars, for Duesenberg, Stutz, Mercer, Packard, Bugatti, Pierce-Arrow and Jordan. However, only the Duesenberg, Bugatti and Mercer were built (as concept cars). Duesenberg was even being prepared for production, with a new company formed by Fritz Duesenberg, son of the original company founder. After the prototype was shown in 1966, 50 buyers signed up for the car, among them Elvis Presley. Unfortunately, the company encountered financial problems before the production could start and it quickly closed, the car being taken as a part of payment for debts.
The Revival Cars gained significant popularitry because of toy models made by Renwal.

Yes, I remember building the Packard, Duesenberg and either the Stutz or the Mercer. Don't have them anymore, unfortunately.
Do you know ho ownes or where the car is now located?
Hi, I am new and just wanted to say hello to all enthusiasts... :D
How old car it is. Old cars was very long and looks very trendy on that time. But watching their pics make me to remember old movies.
