The current engine is actually J-521, from a Brunn Riviera Phaeton, installed in NM in the 1950s, but I think (not positive) it still has the J-560 bell-housing.
Chris,
so it is currently J-521/2585 (already since the 1950s)? - it is interesting that all articles that I?ve read about it still designate it as J-560/2585

Why would you want a quiet Duesenberg, anyway? That engine beautiful when it is a little fiesty.
It was nice to see you at Pebble, Randy.

Sorry, you've got me as to what car appears at 1:20. It looks like a Murphy Convertible Coupe with fender skirts but that's as much as I can offer.

Are we talking about the car that is being driven in the movie clip or the one I was asking about that is parked, visible at frame 1:20 - the parked light color Duesenberg convertible with the chrome wheels and skirted front fenders is the one I am inquiring about visible here in this screen shot:
Best Regards,
Brian

Thanks for the info, but what I am looking for is what car it is, chassis / J-number and what body.
Thanks
Brian

I watched the clip and was amazed to see the horrible way in which that car was treated - the grinding gears and then the crash - I'd be livid if I were Clark Gable.
Also, why does that car sound so horrible when it runs - I've heard many Duesenberg engines running, they should be whisper quiet - NONE have sounded so horrible, was the car built with special muffler baffles for that throaty sound?
I also noticed that if you pause that clip at 1:20 - you can see another Duesenberg roadster parked along the road - I'm not sure which car it is but it looks like a Rollston bodied disappearing top roadster, possibly a '34?
Maybe Rangy can comment on this.
Thanks,
Brian

The book has a lot of cool photos in it, but the cars aren't always identified correctly. Inside, there's also a rarely seen photo taken from the driver's side of the Duesenberg attributed to Frank Morgan.
I'm also surprised no one has mentioned the other Duesenberg in the "Merrily We Live" video clip. In the brief moment it's visible, it looks like a Murphy convertible coupe with skirted fenders.

The car does, however, have the Gable car's double rear spares.
Several other features do not match up with the Nethercutt Collection's J-533 (running boards, windshield frame).
Perhaps Randy Ema or someone else can clear this up.
