Boat tail Cord

I have the book and I wondered for a time if it WAS the same car. I think the Duesenberg was sold at Amelia Island a year or two ago--either that or it's identical to the car that was sold (J-315, with a replica Murphy DCP body). Being a dealer I imagine he sells and swaps out quite a few cars for the right price, although I've read that a few of the cars in his collection are not for sale at any price, like FDR's Cadillac V-16 and a prototype 1958 Cadillac convertible with a rain-sensing convertible top.

He's supposed to be a great guy--the collection at his dealership is open to the public for a small fee and I've read a few good reviews of car club trips to his home collection.

That could be the same car but the owner in the book is Al Wiseman who lives in Florida. It also says he's a vintage car dealer. Quite a collection in his home garage....Duesenberg, Packard, Auburn, etc. Even owns one of the recent Batmobiles.

There's no full photos, but some more photos of a very similar (if not the same) car can be found under the post "Kirk and Pam Copley's 1930 Cord Boat-tail". Use the search function.

I recently bought the book "Dream Garages" and one of those covered mentioned the owner has one of the few boattailed Cords built. There's a picture of it in the garage but just the frontend and it's a side shot. Anyone have a full photo of one of them???
I know the books been out awhile but it's interesting. There's probably more print on how each owners car collection got started then on the actual garage. Still a good read.
