That’s the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen

This car with it's straight-8 sounds amazing! The purity of the exhaust note without any of this new fangled stuff like catalytic converters or mufflers is great.

I can imagine Gable, top of his mark, blasting in this, smoking a Chesterfield King.

This video brought a warm smile and plenty of ooo's and ahhhs to my face. I can easily imagine Clark driving the same Southern California roads.Such a nice tribute to a grand automobile and its famous first owner.

Beautiful

Oh God that’s gorgeous.

Excellent video. Thanks for the fun and correct music accompaniment.

The scene when the car is on the hilltop over looking the ocean is why I love California so much, the scenery is breath taking! of coarse driving a car like that would be over the top but that's a fat chance in hell.

I thought all Duesenbergs were 1929s. Guess they dated them when they were bodied and/or sold rather than when the engines, chassis, etc. were made.

wholeNwon Correct.

Hermoso auto de que fue de mi amor💝

1:30 These are the disadvantages of a rigid axle. Look at 0.25 speed.

That is a test drive, not those of 6 litre cars driving with 40 km/h

I want one😵💰😞😖

doble steam car from 1925 had more power and was faster.

Legend is Gable, drunk, struck and killed a man with this Duesie or another one he had and MGM paid off his family to hush it up. I think these cars are stunning but I cannot imagine at the worst of the Depression driving such an extravagant car around.

This is why almost all of the US luxury car brands went bust in the mid '30s. It's not that the rich could not buy the cars, but that they didn't dare drive them - and as a result, many got scrapped.

That is the most stupid thing I have read all week--rich people scrapped cars because they were afraid to drive them. Jeez man....

I Googled this story about Gable killing someone while in a drunken stupor, ain't true about Gable BUT a fellow actor named John Huston was in an accident in which a young woman was killed but he was not drunk. He was cleared by a grand jury of all wrongdoing.

I won't speak for the accident and supposed hush money, but as for driving it around during the depression, I get it and why. A different mentality than today's. All of those Hollywood movies with wealthy and glamorous stars during that time period supposedly took people's minds off of their plights long enough to enjoy a dream on the screen, whether in movies or newsreels or in the movie magazines of the day. It was seen less as arrogant flaunting and more as giving people hopes and dreams. Hollywood knew how to play it.
