Hello,

I don't know, maybe Randy Ema knows that. Regarding to old black and white photos of that car it could have had a darker colour than todays metallic brown. Maybe black or dark red?

Here is the link to the auction catalogue announcement for that car, when you register yourself there, you will find (some historic) photos and the (history) discription of that car. www.goodingco.com/car/1935-duese ... se-berline

What color was this JN when new ?

Hello,

car 2587 has chrome-plated bullet headlights, skirted fenders and a hardtop, covered with light brown leather (or leatherette) that makes the top look like a top of a convertible.

Here a some photos of 2587 www.duesey2208.com/Datasheets/Mo ... rm2587.htm

I stand corrected. Looking at the photo you just sent I would agree its probably 2587. Wonder what its doing in Palmdale?

It looks to me like that 2587 is the Duesey at the Crosley photo, car 2611 has a different mounting of the screenwhipers (at the bottom of the screen) and a different (not standard) enginehood (side) design, than the car on the ebay photo.

Here is a photo of 2611 www.duesey2208.com/Datasheets/Mo ... rm2611.htm

Hi Mike,

the Duesenberg looks like a J(N) Rollston Berline,

Car 2587, J-500, (former original engine J-559) ?


Cheers
