My Duesenberg Ride -
SJN533/2563
In April of 2007 my brother-in-law arranged for me to ride
in the Nethercutt Museum's Rollston bodied SJN J533, Chassis 2563. I'm still
grinning from ear to ear after the experience. I know exactly how Jack Barker felt!
JB Nethercutt bought this car in the 1950's. He sold it to
Harrah's, and I have a copy of Automobile Quarterly (1972) that shows the
car, and gives Harrah as the owner. Nethercutt bought it back some time
later.
According to a post by
Randy Ema, this car appeared in the original "The Great
Gatsby", but the 1926 version is too old. Perhaps the 1949 version with
Alan Ladd?
The Nethercutt Museum is a real treat for the car lover, and
it's free! More info
here! I can't say enough
about how gracious and hospitable the staff was!
You can tell from my smile that this was one of the true high points of my
life!
