on the hub caps and the hood ornament ( not a radiator cap as the water
fill was under the hood as an extension of the upper radiator tank ) which
is most similar to that utilized on the Essex of the same period. I am going
to guess the model year as 1932 and believe it is an 8 cylinder model.
All beautiful and larger automobiles are not Duesenbergs. Jonathan (Jack)

Here is something to think about. J460 reportedly sold for 10.4 million and an SSJ may bring 20 million so that means both SSJ's would be worth 40 million. E.L.Cord's estate was estimated at 39 million at the time of his death so this means the value of our currency is rapidly approaching that of "scrip" which was the currency coal miners were paid with and was worth about 40 cents on the dollar IF someone would buy it. Something to think about.

This picture is of a 1930's Duesenberg and some jamoke. This photo was taken on 883 Purchase St. in front of the Olympia Theater in New Bedford.
Opened on April 2, 1916, it was designed by Wm. Mowll of Mowll & Rand architects with a seating capacity of 2,800, some say 2,300.
As of this writing I am still looking for more information about the photo. If you have any please contact the webmaster. The photo is not dated.
The film featured that day was "Heaven on Earth" made in 1931 included actress Anita Louise.
She appeared in 70 films between 1924 and 1952. She later played the mother on the television series "My Friend Flicka"
The Zeitz family bought the theater in 1962 In 1966 a national touring company staged the comedy hit "Barefoot in the Park". the show was sold out. The theater closed in 1971 and was demolished in 1972.
The stores on ground level at the sidewalk were occupied by carious merchants over the years.
In the first view below it is by the W. L. Douglas Shoe store, managed by Fred Barrows..
