Duesenberg? |

I'd agree, Duesenberg. Not unlike this recent acquisition of Jay Leno's: Link to "media.canada.com" |

Well, I don’t think this is a Duesenberg. My guess is a 1930 Cadillac V16 Town Brougham [4391]. |

1930 Cadillac series 452 Town Brougham |

I agree with “Pilou”. It's a Series 452 or 452A Cadillac of 1930 or 1931 (unchanged over that 2-year production period). The large quarter window, curved molding across the hood and down the hood sides, and the horizontal body sill provide a clue to a Feetwood body style identified in the catalog with initial digits “43..”, the most common of three different basic body designs available on the "Sixteen" chassis. This one is Fleetwood style #4391, the 7-pass. town brougham; it is one of only 30 built over that 2-year period; it’s basic equipment included folding auxiliary seats, a partition and division glass between front and rear compartments, a painted metal roof (as opposed to a leather roof covering that was more common on such Cadillac town car styles), a removable driver's roof curtain carried under the front seat when not in use, a robe cord, a silk umbrella, a sheepskin mat and a luggage net strung above the partition. The proportions of this huge car may be seen in the small designer's drawing - URL attached). The base price of this model in 1930 was $7150 (although fully-optioned it could rise to $9000); the price was lowered in October 1930 to $6525 [we are talking that’s about $90-114K in today’s dollars!] www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_v16/4391dg.jpg |
