Mormon Meteor news from Hemmings

Does anyone have a high-quality scan of this article?

It would be fun to read, but not $45.00 worth of fun. I don't need an original, just something I can read.

That is extremely cool, thanks for the tip. I especially like the list of speed records: Cord Cord Cord Cord Cord Cord...

The car in the photo is Mormon Meteor III, which Marv Jenkins (Ab's son) still owns, I believe. It was restored recently after years of sitting in the Utah State Capitol. It has no Duesenberg parts in it whatsoever to my knowledge.

Something Few Articles Ever Point Out:

The car we know, the yellow Duesenberg, was originally called the Duesenberg Special; it was then renamed the Mormon Meteor II after the SJ engine was replaced by a Curtiss Conqueror aircraft engine. The SJ engine was later reinstalled, but the catchier Mormon Meteor nickname (minus the II) stuck and has been attached to the car ever since.

In its current restored form, back to its original racing equipment and appearance, the car should really be called the Duesenberg Special. It is no longer the Mormon Meteor II, and it never has been the Mormon Meteor.

Meteor I, incidentally, was, I believe, a Pierce-Arrow V-12.
