Parking Lot Find - 1930 Duesenberg

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 This vehicle is so extremely over the top. An absolute dream car And definitely not only because I love nearly everything that is green. But a green Duesenberg cabriolet, even with a green engine, is definitely killing it. Thanks a lot for showing, explaining recording, editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

This man has the Right idea when owning a car like this ... Actually Driving it and enjoying it instead of it sitting idle, theyre meant to be driven not sitting in a room/garage collecting dust . Glad to see it . Cheers .

[@jameshuffman835]

I grew up around antiques and a local dentist that restored and actually drove them all! We took a 1913 Hupmobile up pikes peak in 1977, I was 12!

[@sparkplug0000]

Tidbit - Not all automobiles produced by the Duesenberg brothers are the famous Model J like this one, but of the 480 or so Model J's, all were built in 1928 or 1929. They were assigned a year designation, 1930 in this case, when they were sold. With the Great Depression going on, plus the time required for custom bodies, plus the sheer expense, it took several years for them all to sell. Gotta give this guy a lot of credit for actually driving this thing, doing what it was made to do, and for sharing it with us mere mortals.

Watching this gave me goose bumps. Thanks for posting.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

road distance from Pennsylvania to NC: 500miles (800km) ..480 cubic inches = 7865cc, 270hp, in line 8 cylinder

Love it! I remember visiting the Imperial Palace auto collection in 1988 when I went to Las Vegas for the SEMA show that year. I remember visiting an area they called the "Duesenberg Room", which had an unbelievably long antique wooden bar and mirror on one side of the room. The other side of the room was lined with at least a dozen Duesenberg cars! It was breathtaking!

You can't be a car guy if you don't appreciate this piece of art!!

[@marcoluoma3770]

What a great guy and a great car. And I love that it gets driven, not set aside as a museum piece.

[@scottarmstrong1172]

Gotta love a Duesey! What a beautiful machine!

[@paparalph4]

Beautiful piece of machinery.

[@NBSV1]

Duesenbergs are one of the few cars from that era that can still be driven with modern traffic and not really have any problems. Brakes would still be weak, but there’s upgrades that can make those much better. Power and handling wise though they’re amazing. Would have been incredible back in the day with these compared to a typical car.

[@douro20]

Could you imagine if Hall & Scott made a car? That would had been serious competition there. Edwin Hall was the man behind the 300+hp DOHC engines which powered these cars, and his company also made the engines for the ACF-Brill IC41 which remains the fastest highway coach ever put into production.

[@HemiJoel]

The brakes on a Model J lack nothing. Power assist, huge finned drums, they stop on a dime.

[@daveblevins3322]

I've been a huge fan of the 'Berg' since I was 12 also building model cars. It's my favorite car of all 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tylermaxwell4179]

I can not wait to come down this coming spring I’ll definitely be bringing my Harley to ride the beautiful Maggie valley and of corse enjoy the amazing wheels through time museum

[@orionwarren4244]

Passing someone at 70mph in a Doozy in 1930 would be like passing someone at 200mph today!

[@t.s.racing]

They were 4 valve per cylinder, double overhead cam, and 5.20:1 c.r. Cast iron block and head, with 5 main bearings. All to the best of my knowledge, from 1 of my Engineering books. T.S. RACING I hope this helps someone.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

im assuming these machines could cruise at 100mph / 160kph all day?

Incredible! Dude has 1 of 5!? He drove it from Pa to North Carolina. Wow! I wish I had woman that supported me the way this man’s wife does.

[@jamesc5793]

Absolutely amazing

[@robertcribb3859]

Extremely Beautiful car

[@deltasonics1997]

Duesenburg built engines and chassis. All the bodies of this era Duesenburg were built by independent coach builders

[@fidelcatsro6948]

true, i learnt that from Jay Leno videos!

[@johnderekmitchell1510]

Wasn't just Duesenburgs. Ever wonder why Chevy had Body by Fisher on the kick plates?

[@t.s.racing]

To the best of my knowledge, the engine was 420 c.i., or 6883 c.c. 3.8 inch bore and 4.7 inch stroke, or 95 m.m. by 119 m.m. They made an estimated 265 h.p. at 4200 r.p.m. T.S. RACING

[@fidelcatsro6948]

so it wasnt 480 cubic inch?

[@t.s.racing]

@@fidelcatsro6948 interestingly, if you do the calculation for C.I. based on the bore and stroke, it comes to 426.428 cubic inches, but based on the calculation in C.C. of 6883 to C.I., it would be 419.951 C.I. So honesty Sir, not quite sure of the definitive answer. T.S. RACING

[@fidelcatsro6948]

@@t.s.racing its okay so its about 420ci or 6900cc...in line 8 cylinder cat

[@t.s.racing]

@@fidelcatsro6948 now I reverse calculated using the METRIC versions of the bore and stroke, and came up with 411.310 C.I. At the end of the day, unless I had a original block and crankshaft in front of me to measure, I can't answer the question with any certainty. I hope that helps Sir.

[@hendo337]

This was my understanding as well, I came to comment this.

[@lpd1snipe]

Beautiful!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

What a awesome car🚗😍🤑 .....Thanks so much👍👀

[@gregkistner1955]

Such a great car!

[@jonnycando]

Nothing like a Duesenberg….my own fancy is an SJ Phaeton which I will never be able to own.

[@StephenBell]

Spotted Mustie 1 in the background there taKing video! 🙂

[@daniel_morrow]

I believe i saw this car and 4 others pass through Lincolnton NC Tuesday

[@fidelcatsro6948]

probably after leaving the bike museum..

[@hendo337]

I guess it goes to show you, cylinder head design means a lot more than cubic inches and cylinder count. The V16 452ci 7.4L OHV Cadillac made 165hp, 100hp less than the Dusenberg, it wasn't until the early 1950s that the Chrysler 331ci Hemi beat the 265hp of this car, once again more power with less displacement.

[@JamesAllmond]

I was coming home from Asheville last weekend and thought to myself, was that a Duesenberg I just saw....yeah it was...

[@MrMango222au]

love your presentation could you please add some info for people who dont know how far towns are apart like old mate drove his Duesenberg 4 hrs or 250 miles it just your channel is international and im from oz and well Brisbane to Sydney is 597 miles or 961 km just a thought love your show

[@mikewarner2285]

Nice guy

[@hendo337]

From what I have gathered those are 420ci stock, 6.9L.

[@bigjimmedalock4878]

that looked like Mustie 1 filming with a gopro in the background.

[@curtisharrison4837]

The pinnacle of 4 wheels. Wonder who had as new. Not many people had that kind scratch. He's rubbed elbows with Leno. Should have a Henderson on the trailer.

[@stratocaster1greg]

Beautiful car and you have a sweet wife for telling you get the car!

Rich man's Toy the average person can only dream of a car like this .. My Grandfather paid $35.00 for a used Model to .. Very similar to the $500.00 I paid for a 1970 Chevy Impala in 1977 with inflation I suppose..

[@fidelcatsro6948]

true..expensive cars indeed..

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Now thats a car

[@thompetersenautoart]

I have been watching your station for a very long time and have totally have liked it ...I met your father a couple times at shows and we had a good time together talking. But, are you aware of all the ads KZbin is putting on your channel? .. This is destroying what started out to be a free viewing and as i really dislike commercial tv, KZbin has become the same thing. I am finding more and more people are feeling this way and unsubscribing to channels KZbin is making big money off of... Something must be done about this. I wish i had an answer ... but i do know ... if i watch your channel on my Tv, with Roku, there are less commercials .. for now .. that is! ... ... Best regards and Hope to visit next years .... just another old guy ... thom.

Still doesn't match the 1936 EL "61 OHV" Knucklehead.
