Oh no i know, by "one of them" i meant one of the ones in existance.

Wow...what makes them so desireable? To me, at least, they don't seem that desireable.

I feel that wouters excellent automotive pics outdo any pic from Piacki..

the boss imo. wouter's pics are best from a technical point of view and i know he has a great knowledge about photographing. maybe his pics are less spectacular but, as i understand, their aim is to document certain cars/details of them.

same goes to henk

Duesenbergs were amongst the most exclusive, opulent, expensive and most powerful cars on the planet in their pre-war heyday. They were perhaps the defining status symbol of "Roaring Twenties" American 'boom' wealth. They were easily on a par with the big European sportscar names like Bentley or Bugatti. I guess the most powerful supercharged Dueseys were the 30s' equivalent of the Bugatti Veyron in terms of their monstrous power and equally monstrous pricetag. They were the playthings of the very rich and famous and many have a list of superstar former owners, which only serves to further increase the auction value. They really are spectacular and very rare cars, to a classic car collector they are every bit as desirable as the big European names.
