I toured the Auburn Cord Duisenberg last year in Auburn Indiana and observed to the staff that only Bugatti or for design-wise Delahaye were comparable but nothing built anywhere else in the world was better to mutual agreement from the entire staff. The state of the art of race-proven mechanicals was state of the art for their time and to this day are still timeless. If I had the means, this would be my ultimate dream car without question. Bravo Chip !! I hope you get the opportunity to realize this dream.
Wow! Once again Chip has shown us, not only his skill at imagining, drawing and rendering his ideas to automobiles, but also his love of classic cars and the spot in his heart for automotive beauty. We can only pray that someone out there sees this and says "Hmmmmm...." What a talented soul!
Wish he still had his tv show. What a true artist, it goes to show that an artist's canvas can be anything. Mr. Foose chooses cars as his canvas. My dad restored classics professionally for 50 yrs, I loved having the opportunity to work along side of him, they are memories I will hold onto for a long time ( I lost dad to cancer😠😢😞) we did daily drivers and customs but nothing comparable to Mr.Foose's.
I was lucky enough to work for a man that owned a Duzenburg. I did not work on it. 2 door coupe. I was fresh out of high school then. The year was 1967. I enjoyed the video. The owner was Frank Latola in Bridgewater Ma. He collected cars and owned an Equipment Company selling IH and Massey Ferguson units.
I think I remember him saying he was going to keep it a bare chassis. Something about he enjoyed looking at it without a body and seeing all the craftsmanship it took to build it. I also think Jay is more of a connoisseur than a builder. He does modify things but in most cases is usually for practicality reasons.
That was the first thing I thought of. Sales pitch perhaps? Even if it is, it would be cool and a Foose Duesenberg would just add value to his collection.
Watching you draw multiple iterations of vehicles with slight changes in each reminds me of watching my dad draw cars. He would draw for hours! I sure wish I had some of his drawings today. That is absolutely beautiful, Chip!
Man, I love the way your mind works! While watching your videos, I almost finish some of your sentences! IN NO WAY am I directly comparing my self to "Chip Foose", but your ideas are just so Spot-On, classic, timeless... ...letting the designs "speak through you". Long, long time fan! ...by the way, I'm also an artist, but, watching you blows my mind! Thanks for all the years of being smiles and inspiring millions of people.
I might be exaggerating, but I think one can argue that just by looking at Chip Foose you get the feel that he grasp proportions. How? Simply looking at his watch! It has exactly the right size for his arm size and build. Not to big not to small. The world has gone crazy with mega sized watches which looks like pocket watches strapped to the arm. Mr Foose’s watch has a size which blends nicely to his arm without hanging over it and allows the band and lugs to be seen, forming a harmonious extension of the watch.
My grandfather used to drive the rolling chassis from the plant in Auburn, IN down to the coach and interior plants down in Connersvile, IN and the finished cars back to Auburn back in the day Strapped a wooden orange crate to the chassis to drive them. He drove an awful lot of Cords, Auburns, and Duesies that way.
Being a graphic designer for so many years, I never had the ability to sketch a vehicle but damn, some of the first round sketches have some wicked slight differences to them. I guess this is why Chip is who he is. ALWAYS enjoy his approach to being one of if not the best vehicle visionarian & flawless artisan of some of the best cars his vision has to offer. Thank you for you Chip.
That's what you call a Doozy, just watching the rythem & harmony flow from Chips words through his hands While holding any kind of INK is a masterpiece, Wicked Mr Foose
I love this man ..just for who he is !! A true artist ,passion and love in everything he creates perfection and pure emotion . Craftsmanship in the highest Form ..this is art from the heart !!
What are the chances anyone in TH-cam land has deep enough pockets for this one? Stunning design with the perfect name that deserves to be made into reality. As a wise man once said, "if your going to cut up a car you might as well make it a rare one"....
Thank you so very much for sharing your God given talent with the world. Your legacy continues to pave the way for future horseless carriage enthusiasts. Thanks Chip, you are a national treasure.
Thanks for talking us through the geometry and flow of your design. I think it draws me to look at the whole car but always end at the door, eager to get inside and drive that thing. Perfect for a car design, in my opinion.
I have wanted Foose to design a body for Leno's Duesenburg Chassis car FOREVER, I even asked Randy Erma (sp?) at the ACD fest a few years ago if Leno was ever going to put a body on it....he said "no"
I have the same comment I used when Chip tried to "improve" the E-Type...sometimes you study the original, then stare at your blank sheet of paper, then you put down your pen and admit, "I got nothin'"
...Except Mr Foose DID actually improve the E-Type. In the case of the Duesenberg, there is no "original" - Every car was, to an extent, the product of it's owners' imagination. If he got hold of one, I expect the folks who run SEMA would already be preparing to hand over another Ridler Award.
Just one autographed sketch... just one for my office wall, please Chip... I'm sure he'd make a fortune selling his signed drawings... originals, prints, calenders... heck, even the rough sketches! I tip my cap at your gift Sir... riveting to watch.
Really great to see this. I love the 30s cars. There are a lot of truly great designs from this era, including Cord and Auburn. But if I had to choose one, it would be a Duesenberg (SJ), hands down. Good luck launching this project, Chip. As for that sketch, I'm sure you could make some extra beer money with some signed copies. [hint-hint]
A true talent. It would be great to see this come to reality. As he was drawing this talking about the style I thought, what if he made it as an electric vehicle to bring the old and new together, even though I can also imagine this with the low rumble of a large cubic inch engine for that fully classic vibe.
I cannot think of anyone extant today who'd be more qualified to do a Duesenberg! If only there were a nondescript black boxy towncar with a generic body no one would miss. Um, not "Twenty-Grand"!! But towncars were usually longer chassis, yes?. But what you did very briefly is tremendously righteous. I admire your respect. It still has the audacious yet regal feel of Duesenberg. The glide in the fender is perfect, but yeah, something around the "hips" could be revised more like you said...too many Deuce Coupes in your veins! But I like that it' says "Duesenberg" not some kind of Delehaye. Colors: I kept thinking "Butterscotch" then something cooler to contrast and complement: Black: jet or graphite? with red accents. Blue? Burgundies to purple also with red? Maybe the "right" green all with the butterscotch inside the clamshell.
I didn't like Duesenbergs until I saw this one. I am a changed man. Love at first sight. This drawing is like a young beautiful woman who wants to go on a long drive.
Chip, I was folowing your web site when you took on the '39 Lincoln into a Woodie- that chassis was gorgeous, the pairing with the V12 inspired. Don't sell yourself short- I think Augie and his brother would approve if you "fiddled" some of their pieces! I'll bet Harley Race has a few comments about "why didn't we think of that", too! FWIW, what you have already drawn fills the concept of "It's a Duesie" quite well. Thank you for it! For myself, I've always thought Packard should have built on their wartime relation with RR and rebuilt their Merlin as a V12 car engine for the big cars and reworked as a V8 or V6 for the more plebeian ones. All this gets too a V12 Packard Roadster, circa 1948-49, when the car designers were pulling the fenders into the bodywork , but still wanted to retain some of the bodylines of the earlier cars; a two door, two place sportster, hdtp or Convert. That could also be awesome too! Hope the hint makes into your drawer of "could have beens"!
One should Re~start the Deusenberg line. With the basics being the only parameter necessary, any deussey found could be stripped of its coach and still qualify. Personally, if he ever got his hands on one... I think with every bolt and nut removed it would actually Hurt him. (It would hurt me) In the beginning it looks like he is drawing a prowler, lol.
@Edward Gross If... I had the finances, I would build one that could easily be changed from original to concept and back with very limited tools and time. Connectors would be given adapters removable between changes. Difficult...sure but it could still be put back to original. Just think it could be a 2 era original Deusenberg.
I like the chrome halo for the convertible roof but not the idea of it staying in place with just the fabric folding down. Maybe there's a way to have the chrome arch retract into the rear quarters behind the door jamb, with the forward hoop taking the fabric section with it...? That would be a very cool design if could be made to work, which I'm sure it could be.
The sidemount would not allow the door to open. Chip would resolve this before a build. I would like to learn his process of solving such problems while keeping his design concept (or how the concept must change to solve such problems.)
If only modern car builders had the passion to redesign some of the old classics, with modern equipment, and use a designer like foose,, I think they would sell like hot cakes. Just a thought. Love ya work.
Foose should look up Elroy Wi and it's connection to Duesenberg, quite interesting, and my grandpa built and owned the heating and air conditioning shop next door, the jewelry shop next door to that ohhh they know him too, uncle ran the shop in the backyard. Interesting story behind that doosy shop depending on who ya ask.
He could get chassis made easily in a foreign country where they are great for doing things like this. Like in Thailand, Malaysia, China, or India. Then get a V12 LS and use that as the power plant and then he's away, you can get parts from the guy the restored Jay Leno's 3 cars n chassis.
The longest wheelbase,long long bonnet,aero coupe body with seats as far back as possible and a long swooping tail. Low roof hight. Thinking " Blue Train" Bentley stance and look with long sweeping Art Deco bodywork, inspired by 1930s aircraft.
i was also thinking of Bernd Rosemeyers Horch 853a with Erdmann & Rossi coachwork. I would possibly eliminate the spare tires in the running boards, maybe do the exposed exhaust instead. Still i keep coming back to this drawing. I think i would let Chip build it
I'm only 3 min. into this video but I'll tell you what I would want. A 2+2 drop head coupe with a metal folding top. I think that would be nice. Perhaps even a 4 door, suicide rear doors, with the same folding metal roof.
Could you.......... take a long wheelbase F-150 chassis or a vintage Crown Vic or Town Car chassis and build this up to mimic your design? Does anybody make the kind of body panels you'd need to start out with?
I toured the Auburn Cord Duisenberg last year in Auburn Indiana and observed to the staff that only Bugatti or for design-wise Delahaye were comparable but nothing built anywhere else in the world was better to mutual agreement from the entire staff.

This man is a genius! He has awesome designs, draws like Bob Ross and makes very beautiful cars.
Wish he still had his tv show. What a true artist, it goes to show that an artist's canvas can be anything. Mr. Foose chooses cars as his canvas.
My dad restored classics professionally for 50 yrs, I loved having the opportunity to work along side of him, they are memories I will hold onto for a long time ( I lost dad to cancer😠😢😞) we did daily drivers and customs but nothing comparable to Mr.Foose's.
whoever is running this channel is doing a really great job. give em a raise.
Thanks for watching, Dan. We'll make sure to let our bosses know! 😁

Jay Leno has a bare Duesenberg chassis needing a body.
YOU ARE RIGHT!!! 🧐
DO A COLLAB 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Exactly.
I think I remember him saying he was going to keep it a bare chassis. Something about he enjoyed looking at it without a body and seeing all the craftsmanship it took to build it. I also think Jay is more of a connoisseur than a builder. He does modify things but in most cases is usually for practicality reasons.
James Sheets yeap he does modify things like modern safe brakes, and conversions to alternators instead of generators
That was the first thing I thought of. Sales pitch perhaps? Even if it is, it would be cool and a Foose Duesenberg would just add value to his collection.
I could literally watch Chip draw things like this all day, so much talent
What a talented individual you are Mr Foose .
I fell in love with the Duesenberg as a kid watching Annie. Gorgeous car ♥♥♥
Watching you draw multiple iterations of vehicles with slight changes in each reminds me of watching my dad draw cars. He would draw for hours! I sure wish I had some of his drawings today. That is absolutely beautiful, Chip!

Who else would love to have a signed "quick sketch " to have in their office?
Me me me!!
I’d love something like a gen 1 viper “sketched” like this
I would Love to have this one right here
100%

Great designer and builder. This serie with Foose is great!

He drove an awful lot of Cords, Auburns, and Duesies that way.
Now he's got to build it. That'd be a great car.
He did claim, more than once... "When we build the car."
Im in.
I was expecting a boat tail back end. Amazing interpretation, still stately and elegant.
Being a graphic designer for so many years, I never had the ability to sketch a vehicle but damn, some of the first round sketches have some wicked slight differences to them.

That's what you call a Doozy, just watching the rythem & harmony flow from Chips words through his hands
While holding any kind of INK is a masterpiece, Wicked Mr Foose
Watching the master at his craft is and always will be a treat! 🤩
I love this man ..just for who he is !!
A true artist ,passion and love in everything he creates perfection and pure emotion .
Craftsmanship in the highest Form ..this is art from the heart !!
I spent a few hours at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum in Auburn Indiana. Just amazing cars.
My favorite channel hands down
Foose makes the most Jean shorts and New Balance shoes designs ever.
What are the chances anyone in TH-cam land has deep enough pockets for this one? Stunning design with the perfect name that deserves to be made into reality. As a wise man once said, "if your going to cut up a car you might as well make it a rare one"....
Chip Foose is brilliant, this drawing is absolutely gorgeous......
We have got to get you a Duesenberg! I want to see you build this! If Jay Leno has one we need to get you two together right away!
Oh yeah! This needs to be done full size sheetmetal!
The man creates pure art. One day those drawings (framed) will be worth a pretty penny.
6:00 The one you said you liked reminds me of an early Ford roadster with early Corvette side moldings/shape. I like it.
Thank you so very much for sharing your God given talent with the world. Your legacy continues to pave the way for future horseless carriage enthusiasts. Thanks Chip, you are a national treasure.
Thanks for talking us through the geometry and flow of your design. I think it draws me to look at the whole car but always end at the door, eager to get inside and drive that thing. Perfect for a car design, in my opinion.
I have wanted Foose to design a body for Leno's Duesenburg Chassis car FOREVER, I even asked Randy Erma (sp?) at the ACD fest a few years ago if Leno was ever going to put a body on it....he said "no"
DAMN! Build this! Chip needs a new Riddler award. Hope Jay Leno is watching...
Chip is an artist with skills to build. I love and his drawings.

Chip I have always LOVED your work , But I would LOVE is you could design a Modern day Duesenberg to rival the Rolls Royce ,Bentley, Maybach PLEASE
Chip, I had to screen shot this! It oozes timeless style and class!
Just one autographed sketch... just one for my office wall, please Chip...
I'm sure he'd make a fortune selling his signed drawings... originals, prints, calenders... heck, even the rough sketches!
I tip my cap at your gift Sir... riveting to watch.

I remember Chip from when he was in Boyd Coddington's shop and show. I think both of them are national treasures.
A true talent. It would be great to see this come to reality. As he was drawing this talking about the style I thought, what if he made it as an electric vehicle to bring the old and new together, even though I can also imagine this with the low rumble of a large cubic inch engine for that fully classic vibe.

I love watching chip drawing cars it’s relaxing
Art!!! Unbelievable 👍👍👍
What a talented guy!
Great rendering. Would love to see a front and rear view Chip, You are a master, Love it.
Elegant design with muscle. Nice one Chip.
🤩 wow! He is a next level designer.
Ladies & gentlemen, the magic slide of hand of Chip Foose.
I didn't like Duesenbergs until I saw this one. I am a changed man. Love at first sight. This drawing is like a young beautiful woman who wants to go on a long drive.

If I were to have you build this Foosenburg, I would want it to be a dark wine with a champagne insert and champagne top.
This needs to exist
I like the chrome halo for the convertible roof but not the idea of it staying in place with just the fabric folding down. Maybe there's a way to have the chrome arch retract into the rear quarters behind the door jamb, with the forward hoop taking the fabric section with it...? That would be a very cool design if could be made to work, which I'm sure it could be.
Chip, there are loads of Rolls Royce and Bentley Chassis out there, R type or S type etc. You should do a design process on one of those.?
Or a Merc 170?.
How about rethinking the model T. There’s another one to soften.
The sidemount would not allow the door to open. Chip would resolve this before a build. I would like to learn his process of solving such problems while keeping his design concept (or how the concept must change to solve such problems.)
If only modern car builders had the passion to redesign some of the old classics, with modern equipment, and use a designer like foose,, I think they would sell like hot cakes. Just a thought. Love ya work.
Looks like another Ridler Award 🥇 for you Chip Foose.
I'd love to learn designing from the Foose! Always loved the overhauling episodes.
How do you feel about leaving off the side mount spare tire?
Thanks for making these videos Chip
Build from scratch, Build your own Duesenberg
Chip a real artist!Best of the best!
Ok Chip, I'll go look in my barn for one, if I find one you can use it
Call Danny Kocker. He saw some remakes of these, two were parts cars, but the price was to high for all 3.
Great sketch!! and thanks for the tips to draw
Foose should look up Elroy Wi and it's connection to Duesenberg, quite interesting, and my grandpa built and owned the heating and air conditioning shop next door, the jewelry shop next door to that ohhh they know him too, uncle ran the shop in the backyard. Interesting story behind that doosy shop depending on who ya ask.
Hi Chip. Is there any chance you can sell a drawing kit with the paper you use the pens you use, templates, step by step guide etc
The MASTER! Enough said!
He could get chassis made easily in a foreign country where they are great for doing things like this. Like in Thailand, Malaysia, China, or India. Then get a V12 LS and use that as the power plant and then he's away, you can get parts from the guy the restored Jay Leno's 3 cars n chassis.
BELLÍSIMO!!! Una verdadera pieza de Arte!!
The longest wheelbase,long long bonnet,aero coupe body with seats as far back as possible and a long swooping tail. Low roof hight. Thinking " Blue Train" Bentley stance and look with long sweeping Art Deco bodywork, inspired by 1930s aircraft.
I'd love to see a foosified Porsche 914 or 959
I got a dream of mine that sort of parallels the old mans green wing that he also made on a motorcycle.
Nice drawing skills ...you re an inspiration... it kind looks like a mercedes benz 540k special
the merc 500k was the 1st thing that came into my mind....
i was also thinking of Bernd Rosemeyers Horch 853a with Erdmann & Rossi coachwork. I would possibly eliminate the spare tires in the running boards, maybe do the exposed exhaust instead. Still i keep coming back to this drawing. I think i would let Chip build it
Bowman and Schwartz were some of the nicest Duesy designs. Continuation cars will save our Coachbuilding industry. . .
Perfect sketch! : What kind of mechanics, interiors and manufacturing would you put to build it UPDATED? or OLD FASHION?
For a coupe you could move the spare to the boot and add pipes. Gotta have the pipes man.
Would love to see him build this
Another great video. Now...we need to see the real thing. SEMA 2021???
I'm only 3 min. into this video but I'll tell you what I would want. A 2+2 drop head coupe with a metal folding top.
I think that would be nice.
Perhaps even a 4 door, suicide rear doors, with the same folding metal roof.
That’s a beautiful design. It would be great to see Revell make a model of it.
Nice design for a Duesenberg. Remember me a 1937 Bugatti Type 57C Convertible. Regards from Europe Barcelona Spain
That’s amazing, you guys have to build one now. I can’t see the Curtiss one off wheels already 👍.
I still can't get over the fact that Chip Foose uses a common ballpoint pen for sketching.
It's truly about the artist, not the tools.
Amazing, the best car designer in history! My one and only idol.
If I ever find myself in possession of a Duesenberg without a body, I'll definitely ship it to you. That looks gourgeous.
One of the frist dusinberg car off the line is in Tallahassee fla in the car museum chip
I couldn’t even afford a photocopy of the drawing. 🤣 Awesome design though.
Could you.......... take a long wheelbase F-150 chassis or a vintage Crown Vic or Town Car chassis and build this up to mimic your design? Does anybody make the kind of body panels you'd need to start out with?
Incredible talent.
I would probably make a Dusenburg look like an 1990's era F-150.
The drawing is cool
Hey Chip, do a 1970 Mercury. Cougar, Montego, Marauder. All unique designs.
This car would fit in perfectly into Jay Leno’s garage amazing details by Mr Foose 🔥🔥🔥
