Hello DJT,

thank you for sharing!

The Model J in the last picture (with the plate-no. 3533) could be J-148, the car was recently offered at the Paris Retromobile auction, only two weeks back.

J-519 / 2548, d'Ieteren Cabriolet, owned at the time by Bill Crossett or Bill Kranz (depending on when the photo was taken). Now in MA. The two-tone blue, done by Brian Joseph, is the present color scheme.

The red Duesenberg (with the Gambles sign in background)I do not ever recall seeing, any info on it?

Someone else will provide more info but isn't that one of the two Franay bodied cars? Perhaps the now-pinkish one that has sold a couple of times recently?

Hello,

it looks for sure like it is a european body style and the roof looks like it is convertible.
I think it could be J-519 d'Iteren Freres 4-passenger Convertible Coupe

There is a photo in the Adler-Book (p. 261) in the same color combination red with a beige/tan roof.

Here is a photo of that car, in a different color combination. www.duesey2208.com/Datasheets/Mo ... rm2548.htm


EDIT: Uuups, when you scroll down the pictures @duesey2208.com site you will find the "red" Adler-book picture too.
