As I mentioned earlier there are quit a few real Model "J"s Dueseys featured in this movie.
I saw at least 3 ~~~possibly 4 ?
Also a great Auburn .
In addition to various Rolls~Royce, Packard, & Cadillac full Classics,

Tom Mix in this movie's plot when asked by Wyatt Earp claims to own 16 autos .

Exactly how many Auburn, Cord , or Duesenberg autos did Tom Mix actually really own during his lifetime ?



"SUNSET" is on Verizon Fios cable, as well as Comcast Xfinity Cable all month.
The move is Free on the Encore On-Demand channel.

Be sure to Check-It-Out .

This is a fictional story about Tom Mix & Wyatt Earp supposedly making a Hollywood Movie. Mix (Willis) plays Wyatt Earp & Earp (Garner) is the movie's technical advisor.

There are quite a few great model "J" Duesenbergs featured in this movie, as well as several Rolls~Royces, an Auburn, several Packards, a Cadillac, and many other great old Full Classic cars.

No Duesenbergs e harmed in this movie ~~~But a Classic Rolls-Royce flys off a dock and takes a bath + sinks.

This movie is a Must-See for all ACD Duesenberg fans.

The movie is well worth watching for the unusual plot itself~~~as well as for the great number of Full Classic Autos featured in it;
Especially a number of Duesenbergs .

James Garner is as amusing & charming as always ~~~and this is one of Bruce Willis's better films in my opinion.

Do any forum members know any of these autos ?

What Model "J" Duesenbergs are featured ?
What is the actual Real history of these great Duesenberg "J"s ?

Who do you think supplied these great autos for this unusual film ?
Are they all from one large museum collection ?



Hello,

one of the Duesenberg, a Murphy Convertible Sedan, is the same car, which appeared in the Rock Hudson/James Dean/Dennis Hopper movie "Giant".
If I got it right, it is Car 2374, J-204, (ex J-355)

I know that Derham Phaeton J-116 / 2136 makes an appearance based on the photo at IMDB but I can't identify any others having not yet seen the film. You're the second person to mention it to me in the last week.

Movie companys seem to have no respect for Classic autos.
