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.

Hi, Yes, a very fun place for all ages. Hope you can visit, Lou

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.

+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.

Happy to read you found this story interesting.

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.

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.
