I would then say then "more of an optical allusion created by the 18" wheel verses a 19" rim. A 7:50 tire is a bunch of bulk and generally speaking tire width and covers will be the death of many ACD, AACA, CCCA member - I have been there myself on many an occassion as I love tire covers and a narrower tire is often the only solution (oh yeah, it is compounded by lots of pretty paint and chrome, not to mention weight of wheel and tires).

Car looks great. It's the 18 inch wheels that make it look a bit "off" but there isn't much you can do about that.

Not the wheels - they are proper reproduction and the Bedford brand tires are very appropriate as well. However, the chrome tread covers on the spare tires are wider than 1929-1933 style originals - the painted face plate though appears proper reproduction. The Classic Car Club of America, Indiana Region makes a very nice reproduction of the original style Lyon brand tire cover (both tread and face plate).

I'm not much for replica's but this is very well done. The only thing "off" are the wheels which don't quite look right but I'm not sure why. I assume they are not 700-19's as the spare looks smaller and wider than stock.

The 3rd page of the website shows the title being a 1984 Duesenberg SJ. This is also what the title said when I purchased it earlier this year. I'm guessing all of the second generations were the same way?

How did you go about getting a title for this car? What is it titled as?

Here's your chance to buy the one-and-only second-gen Twenty Grand. See www.1933twentygrand.com for details and the latest photos. We are committed to the Russo and Steele auction in Scottsdale, AZ Jan 18, 2012. Really wanted to keep this car for a while but things just haven't gone my way this year..
