Market commentary
Bought at RMs Meadow Brook auction in 2003 for $825,000 and a small fortune spent on it since to make everything right and install the blower so its not surprising the owner declined the opportunity to lose a hundred thousand dollars or so on it after commissions. It is a spectacular Duesenberg, with all thats ALL the right stuff.
