Been there, and the Duesenberg room is impressive, though you do have to remember that you're not standing next to tens of millions of dollars - these are replicars built on FoMoCo running gear. "Built by Dusenburg" only means someone bought the corporate name. The real 20 Grand is in the Nethercutt (highly recommended) north of LA. Volo itself is an interesting slice of American along with autos and worth a drive - close enough that if you're visiting Chicago you could do it with a there and back one day rental. The Klairmont Kollection, actually in the city of Chicago, also has 3 or 4 of these.

I love how if something is beautiful when it's created, it might go out of style, but it'll always be beautiful thereafter. This car is still gorgeous eighty some-odd years later. Today's cars look like toasters, by comparison. Thanks for the post; you can sure find 'em.

When I was just a kid we had neighbors who had not only antique cars but rare fine ones. One was indeed a 1930s Duesenberg dual cowl Phaeton 16 cylinders two tone green. Another was a 1925 Pierce Arrow roadster soft yellow with red leather and even the rumble seat was leather. Only not tufted due to possible rain. It had a compartment for golf clubs. They also had a 1906 Maxwell with stick steering and a 1914 Buick Phaeton. They had others like a model A phaeton but those others were magnificent. Imagine being 12 and riding in rumble seats during parades!!! I got to ride in those cars. I knew they were special but had no clue as to their value. She was a nice widow lady and she worked on those cars! She and her husband had restored them all.
To be accurate, the Duesenberg Model J cars had a straight eight engine designed by Fred Duesenberg, but it was made for them by Lycoming - another company within the Cord empire
decided to research the volos and found out their museum, located in their villiage, on their street, has some cool famous cars. the 1989 batmobile, carroll shelby's series 1, the general lee, the mad max interceptor, and plenty more. advertised 400 vehicles on site. pretty amazing!
There was a attempt to revive Duesenberg back in the 1960’s since Virgil Exner sketched one in mid the mid 60’s, one was built which was the 1966 Duesenberg Model D. Were supposed to sell for $20,000 but the investors ended up backing out of the deal and never ended up coming to fruition since they ended up costing $60,000 when everything was all said and done. Think if they built understated luxury cars like a Oldsmobile 98 or Buick Electra 225, they would have sold but alas.
The Duesenberg company built the most beautiful cars ever. There is no competition when it comes to styling and detail. We would take a Deusy over a Lambo, Ferrary, you name all of the hyper cars of today. This one is a Monster.

She didn't have to tolerate me being at her place all the time but she did. And I helped her wash the cars which you know has to be done in a certain way. Her husband was maybe 45 when he died, sadly. But she stayed active in her car clubs and was an amazing mechanic!!

Duesenberg us still the best car design in history, especially this extreme luxurious one. They should have done that hot rod pipe thing on the engine but the color is cool, it's like pink diamond.

Hey guys. I love Duesenberg. Could someone make a video where they hold the camera still and focus on the car instead of swinging the lens around and semi-holding on the serial number?
I believe cars are meant to drive, so I would want a little more reliable power for this behemoth. If u got the old motor in a crate nearby good, but it is just too much trouble to keep the old motors going, so the whole car sits instead.. so add a smallblk V8 and drive the damn thing, enjoy it!
He said it was made between the late 70s and early 2000s ( I think I recall the revival). He called it a Duesenberg II so apparently a replica of the 20G from 1933

Question for the owners, the blue and white drop top in the back ground has what looks like exhaust lines coming out of the sides. Is that a cosmetic piece for show or does it have real functionality as well?

The reason why the chauffeur's compartment is cramped is because back in the '30s they didn't want to let the chauffeur get too comfortable. It wasn't because people were all that much smaller back then. It's that servants didn't deserve to have anything as luxurious as legroom when they were on the job. Legroom was reserved for the owner who rode in the back.
I believe cars are meant to drive, so I would want a little more reliable power for this behemoth. If u got the old motor in a crate nearby good, but it is just too much trouble to keep the old motors going, so the whole car sits instead.. so add a smallblk V8 and drive the damn thing, enjoy it!

+GRANT HART - I think that's a bit harsh. The Heritage motors were exacting copies of the original. Each body style was precisely measured and hand built. They've got a very good reputation in the classic car scene and generally retail at between $200k-$300k. Yes, they're not the originals but then again, maybe it's good they're not $4m each. People will actually drive them instead of sticking them in a warehouse somewhere.
Yes...the One and Only “20 Grand” is in the Nethercutt Collection...I have seen it personally several times. It is worth seeing, I was shown at the Worlds Fair in 1933, years later, I believe in the 50s it became available and through a few collectors JB Nethercutt got ahold of it and it has been in his collection in Sylmar California every since. If you get to LA go visit AND You Can see It and Many Other Duesys and Other rare Cars for FREE, just reserve a spot in the Free Tour.

Neat idea, cool custom build. But another failed attempt to revive a marque. You can't innovate by making copies, and Duesenberg bros were innovators. To do it right would be something along the rebirth of modern Bugatti, or Maybach. Build an all-out supercar with some tangible tei-in to the original (Bugatti in Molsheim, Maybach was part of Daimler)

I'm unaware Duesenberg used any 16 cylinder engines. The J's andSJj's used a Lycoming straight eight
To be accurate, the Duesenberg Model J cars had a straight eight engine designed by Fred Duesenberg, but it was made for them by Lycoming - another company within the Cord empire
Wow
Was that an inline 6?

The original 20 Grand was unique. There was only one made. It was for the Chicago World's Fair in 1933-34
That motor through me into the twilight zone.

The reason why the chauffeur's compartment is cramped is because back in the '30s they didn't want to let the chauffeur get too comfortable.

Isn't this Duesenberg in the Nethercutt museum?
This one is at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo IL
his is a copy. Duesenberg went out of business. Period. Anything after 1938 is a "badge-engineered" wannabe.
+GRANT HART - I think that's a bit harsh. The Heritage motors were exacting copies of the original. Each body style was precisely measured and hand built.

This was really cool until I saw the engine
So close.
i came here for something like bulletproof straight 8 with over 400 ci motor but here, EEWWWW 427 chevy motor!! riced dusie i must say!!
Thank you for sharing.
@@loucostabile sorry man, i always love your stuff and videos!! Always did positive and appreciative comments but this time Chevy ruined!!
If I bought 1 I would junk the Ford engine and put in a 2022 CORVETTE ENGINE, THAT'S SUPPER CHARGED... I have a 51 ford pick up with a CORVETTE ENGINE...
That's a FUN idea :-)
This is the third video produced by this man. It's becoming obvious that he isn't very knowledgable when it comes to cars.
Third video? Over 2000+ videos!
Wow, I'm drooling, that's a duesy . Trump can't even begin to make America that great again.
Glad you enjoy this one Danny Boy :-) Lou

Neat idea, cool custom build. But another failed attempt to revive a marque. You can't innovate by making copies, and Duesenberg bros were innovators. To do it right would be something along the rebirth of modern Bugatti, or Maybach. Build an all-out supercar with some tangible tei-in to the original (Bugatti in Molsheim, Maybach was part of Daimler)

Thank you for viewing and sharing.
Oh dear. A piece of tasteless and utterly useless ostentation! The Lalique ornament on the hood and the Ford engine under it says it all. Horrible.
Hi Paul Money, Clearly this one is not for you. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
