Below is the corrected version of "A West Virginia Duesenberg" from the current Newsletter's Duesy Notes.
Always interested in stories for future editions.
+++++++++++++
Bob Roller of Huntington, WV, a longtime Duesenberg enthusiast who worked on several Js in the 1950s, told me a story he heard many years ago about a Duesenberg sold new in Huntington.
An A or an X was purchased by a man named Gershaw or Kershaw, a Huntington resident who had made a fortune in road and street paving. William W. Sliger of the Sliger Lumber Company in Huntington picked up the car at the factory and brought it back to West Virginia for its new owner.
No one seems to know what happened to the car; Mr. Sliger and the other men in Huntington who saw it, Isaac Lerner, Hal Dial, and L.M. Polan, are all deceased. The late Raydon "Don" Thompson, another Huntington-area Duesenberg enthusiast, told Bob that it was NOT given to a World War II scrap drive.
