This is a 1930 Duesenberg SJ Boattail Speedster! It was a real wow when I saw it at a shopping mall. The mall was having a vintage auto show and this beauty was outside the candy store I was headed to on an errand. I gasped when I saw it and my hubby took one look at my face and said "I'll go back to the car for your camera!" I did some research after the fact and this car is worth upwards of $200,00.00. It's part of the collection at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo IL. They have a Duesenberg room! So I did get the candy I was after that day as well as some eye candy!

Love the title Kathy. I can almost hear this one roaring out the mall. Good angles you chose.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Super shots of the Duesenberg Kathy - love the color combo - could never afford this car, but looks like a nice upscale mall - I see some of my very favorite stores - Lord & Taylor, Kate Spade and See's Candy - I'm ready to go shopping - Great Capture!!!!!!

Fine details and colors in your photo have done full justice to this beauty Kathy. Not a car for just the rich but a car for a rich car lover.

Thanks for this 'Super duper' shot, Kathy. Thanks too for your hubby for being that helpful. He knows exactly what you had forgotten, lol. A real eye catcher, perfectly taken and presented!
