A Duesenberg I've never seen before

Thanks, Randy, I knew you would have the answer.

Interesting car. It has about as few Marmon clues as it did Duesenberg. The roofline DOES look uncannily like a Murphy Convertible Sedan. I wonder if that was Bohman & Schwartz's intention.

Hello Gang . This photo of a B&S sedan is a Marmon V16. Randy

Guys, I'm too far gone already, but thanks for the effort.

I agree with you, Mike. Don't repeat what we're saying, I'd hate for him to get wind of it and get all cocky.

Merry Christmas Chris, and my personal thanks to you Bill. Can't think of a more deserving person.

Bill, thank you...that's very, very generous. I would love a copy. I'll send you my mailing address again.

Chris, I have a couple of copies of Roe's book. I'll give you one for Christmas if you want it.

Thanks. I'm still lacking a copy of Roe, not having a first-born child to trade for it, and it's been a while since I've flipped through a copy.

I thought the window frames and roofline looked like one of the two Murphy Sport Sedans (neither of which has a Bohman & Schwartz modification in their history).

The car is pictured on page 177 of Fred Roe's book (same photo), the caption reads: "Totally disguised, with no Duesenberg features apparent, but still considered to be a Duesenberg chassis under the Bohman and Schwartz body. Some feel it may have been restyled from a Murphy convertible sedan".

Not much help, I'm afraid.

I spent this week helping an author friend research at the National Automotive History Collection of the Detroit Public Library. While there, I took a peek at their Duesenberg files and came away with a disc full of photos.

Most were new shots of cars I'd seen before, but this Bohman & Schwartz-restyled J is new to me. Any ideas?
