There was definitely one in England in the 1960s (1965 I think) because my schoolfriends and I took a look at a black example parked outside (a house? garage? I really can't recall). It looked as if it hadn't moved for some time and wasn't under cover. It was somewhere near Havant in Hampshire. I was told that it had formerly belonged to Anna Neagle and Herbert Willcox (look them up). We were amazed by the sheer size of the thing and the relatively tiny windscreen. But be assured, at that time there was definitely at least one in England.

There he stood wearing a straw men's dress hat of the era, mirror-shined shoes, and a racoon coat, with his right foot on the running board of his DUESENBERG. Wow! I met him a few years later shortly before he died. He grew up in the Georgia and his favourite expression (spoken in a beautiful Georgian drawl) was, 'Son, I was a hustler.'. And indeed he was.

I think this was my favorite of Jays episodes to date! Since I first learned of this particular Duesenberg around 1980s I was in love! I couldn’t even afford the Franklin Mint 1:24th model back then as I was a teenager working part time. I remember clipping out the ad from a magazine with The Franklin Mints phone # and the item #. Well I kept it in my drawer for a few months constantly looking at it thinking $95 for a model car?? I’m not rich etc. Well I called them one day and the said they do 4 monthly installments! I was so excited I ordered it. When it came it was my most prized possession to date. I soon ordered the display case for it to keep it pristine. Well 37 or so years later it’s still as pristine as the real one! Up until around 1999 it was my only diecast model. I soon found eBay, and other places and since then my diecast collection has grown to over 325 1:24th scale cars. From early 1900s- some modern cars! Jay Leno is awesome and one of the only famous people I’d really care to meet live one day!!! Him and Barbara Eden. This is the most beautiful car to me and she’s the most beautiful woman to me ever.

As investments go that model will have been a reasonable one, they fetch good money nowadays.

Most my models cost $120-160, but as you say quite a few are valuable now like 3-5xs what I paid. So while I never bought my little cars as an investment it’s nice to know that they’re worth a good amount as a whole!

Thanks Jay and Cameron for the close up of this great car. Always a pleasure to see it running. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. ❤👍

Again. You learn more in an episode of this show than any other. I'm not even talking about cars. Just the history. Love you, Jay!

I always wondered why Deusenbergs were supposed to be so special. Now I know. 320 hp in 1933?! That was power!

Such an extraordinary and spectacularly beautiful car. This video is a treat, a big thanks to Cameron and Jay.

I love that color. I can't believe they had to paint it black to sell it. Did they let Jay drive that car around the runway at the Burbank airport? I wonder if that Southwest pilot got on his mic and said, "If you look to your left you'll see Jay Leno driving a 1930's Duesenburg."

I just love the Duesenberg automobile, what an American master piece of engineering. Goes along with the Cord and Auburn. Thanks Jay for sharing.

Thank you so much Jay for bringing such a beautiful car. It’s amazing the technology they had back then.

Thank you, Jay for affording us another fantastic video. Your Guest, Cameron also knows the cars quite well. What an amazing vehicle! Rolls-Roice in the 50 and 60 didn't measure up yet to a Dusenburg -- a fabulous story.

Not sure about that though, the rolls definitely had heating, AC, power steering, and usually automatic transmission by the 1960s

Wow, I've been on a big Duesenberg kick recently due to watching all of Jay's videos including "The Most Expensive Duesenberg Ever Made" where it, at one point was a tow truck that sold for $400, after being sold new for ~$430,000 with inflation some 30 years prior. Some cool stuff.

the $$s dont make sense.... 20,000 is nothing at only 430,000 - imagine the development cost? it's nonsense just like the 1933 worlds fair

It's worth noting that Cord/Auburn/Duesenberg also manufactured the Davis and Stinson aircraft, so the altimeter makes sense. My grandfather was dealer for all of this in Washington, DC, and doubtless saw it at the Chicago World's Fair (we have his home movies from that event.) Nice that you drove it at an airport.
