Star designer Karl Lagerfeld. One of the most acclaimed fashion designers in the world.(1933-2019)
“I love old Duesenbergs,” he replied. “There is nothing more beautiful than a Duesenberg.”

The Duesenberg was considered the most luxurious car in the world, hand-crafted and custom-made, heeded as the epitome of flamboyance and elegance. Their clientele included the great, the near-great, the famous, and the infamous. For almost 10 years, Duesenbergs were acknowledged as the ultimate in quality and value, inspiring the expression "it's a duesy." However, this symbol of opulence suffered during the hard times of the Great Depression, and Duesenberg was forced to close its doors forever on this day in 1937.

The Duesenberg was one of the most popular luxury cars as well as a status symbol in the United States and Europe, and was driven by the nobility, the rich and the famous, including Al Capone, Greta Garbo, Howard Hughes, Mae West, Clark Gable, Bill "Bojangles'' Robinson, William Randolph Hearst and the Duke of Windsor.

Here are a couple of my vehicles that are old enough to be classics, but are in service and run hard.
first one is a 1964 Chevy C-60 hauler. The body is mounted on a late 90's hauler chassis and titled 64.
Big Chevy 454, dual plane, Edelbrock carb and headers with a turbo 400. It drives like a Cadillac fully loaded 75 down the freeway.
I plan to paint it one of these days a dark silver grey.
Lots of power even in the mountains
Down side is 8-10 mpg on premium.

The second is a 1974 Dodge camper special with 1-ton running gear, lockers , 35" Baja claws, with 8k winch
I put the motor in at the end of 2019 when the cam went flat on the original 360, taking the rest of the motor with it.
I used a 5.9 magnum, 218 degree @ .050 roller cam with 110 lobe centers installed on 108 degree centerline.
Edelbrock airgap intake with 1" spacer, mechanical 600 Quick fuel carb., 8 quart pan and headers. I followed a Hotrod magazine build that made 385 hp and 435 ft. pounds of torque all under 5000rpm. Premium is required and gets around 12 hwy and 8 in the city and in the mountains or towing.
4 speed with divorced NP 205
I plan to remove the Crome strip and spray the whole thing in black bedliner.
