You took the words right away from me. Sinister is a good description. A "J"with similar,proportionate styling would look mean enough to eat hay. I like the closely set headlights and the cycle fenders. Possibly the best looking pre-"J" Duesenberg in captivity.

You nailed it right on the head again~~~
The Springfield Rolls~Royce & the Model "J" Duesenberg both used #6 Buffalo Wire Weel Corp of America wheels and almost the exact same locking hubs & hub unlocking wrench !
This Model "A" also has the same wheels, hubs, & tires !
The Drum headlights look like very early C M Hall headlights ~~~~ similar to the Springfield Rolls~Royce Silver Ghost & early Phantom I

Steve if you look at the old photos Chris posted for me, it looks more like a J steering column than an A in that shot too.

"Have a face and body that only a mother could love !"
I do however like this car~~~
Add the fact that it was the very FIRST Model "A" Duesey ever built and this makes it's history much more interesting .
You could wear your Top Hat to the opera in this coupe' !
Are those early C M Hall drum headlamps ?
What happened to the Bausch & Lomb lenses that were pictured in the 1956 photo ?
They look very similar to, but not exactly like ,
the lamps on my USA-built Springfield Rolls~Royce Silver Ghosts & Phantoms !
