As a person who knows nothing about a original Duesenberg except for the value here's my take: Doors open, no velvet rope barrier, no guards, people touching it. It's a replica.
That's a Duesenberg II... They reopened the company and hand built these to order... They started back up in the late Seventies and these cars were around $250,000 apiece back then. Of course they ended up being even more expensive because the reformed company had no idea that the re-created parts would be so expensive. Apparently, someone could order any body style that they wanted... Recreations of the standard and custom bodied cars from the Thirties. If I'm not mistaken, these were built on long bed Ford F-150 chassis... And most were Ford 460 powered, although a few had Chevrolet big blocks in them. I do know that every part on the car is an exact replica of those that were used on the original 1929-1936 cars... The Volo Auto Museum has a pretty extensive collection of these... The man that owns the museum was a Duesenberg II Dealer back at the time. He has a replica of the magnificent Duesenberg "Twenty Grand" that's probably the most impressive Duesenberg II ever built. Cheers!
Easy to say: Replica. Real one does not have exhaust pipe in both side of bonnet. I believe, this is the same car, that was for sale some years ago at Hyman Ltd. But anyway, very nice replica in visual terms and more suitable price tag.
This is a replica as it has exhaust pipes on Both sides... A real one had only exhaust pipes on one side... this one has a Ford V8 ? A real Duesenberg had a 8 in line & exhaust on one side... but yes, it looks nice...
It's a Duesenberg replica, but unlike many replica cars that are not proportioned correctly and are generally silly looking, this replica is stunning. This particular car is most likely a "Duesenberg II Royalton" which were made in the early 1980's, and were powered by Ford 351 V8's.
Originals had no pipes on the driver's side and only one tail light. The interior shot doesn't show the pedals. No clutch would also be another dead give away. Still, it's nicely done.
It is a replica! The most obvious give away is the pipes on the driver's side... Just like with the other replica cars they INCORRECTLY put the pipes on both sides, when they only belong on the passenger side not both. However otherwise that is an absolutely exquisite automobile!!!
The replica builders know the original just had pipes on one side but they do both sides for looks .... neither side's pipes are functional on the replica so it's all for looks anyway.
Really nice car,restored by my friends at Best of Show,in Escondido,but it is a fiberglass replica.Shows the kind of work they do,fooled a lot of people.
Very well done and cool for sure but it's not an original but a Duesenberg II. I believe the wheels are 18 inch and not the 19 on the original cars which is the first give away (along with the instruments).
An impressive piece of eye candy; but., the exhaust pipes on the driver's side are the giveaway for any true enthusiast. Left side of the engine is the intake on the Lycoming straight eight thus, no exhaust pipes necessary.
If they go through all of that trouble, why the hell not put the right engine in it. Or at least one that's close? Instead of a boring ass v8. Stupid😑 Does it have an auto trans too?😐
You said why not put the "right" engine in it?? Just where are you going to get a spare Duesenberg engine? A Straight-8 Buick or Packard would be a bit more attainable, but not more desirable than the more reliable and supportable V-8.

Finest car ever built

The Duasenberg was a straight 8 with 4 exhausts on one side. the pipes on both sides shows that it is a V8.
This is a beautiful car. I can't believe that there is anyone who would not be thrilled to drive it.
although it may be a replica, I think it looks absolutely stunning! :)
The one thing in life that needs no explanation. Who cares if itsa replica or not I will have one!
Pity about the music. Probably what it got thumbs down for.
Everybody agrees that it's a replica ... which few of us could afford. An original in that condition would set you back million$
Judging by the other cars in the garage, I don't think this person could afford a real one.
This is the time when america made the finest cars in the World. Where are we now? Shame!

easiest way to tell any replica is to look at the engine . this replica has exhaust pipes coming out of both sides. no original duesey had that
Right. Only supercharged Js has the pipes on right side only.
@@1940limited Some non-supercharged cars were also fitted with side pipes, but still on right side only.
Replica. Took about 10 seconds to figure it out. The dash is definitely sub-par. The rest of the car is very nice though.
This is a replica as it has exhaust pipes on Both sides... A real one had only exhaust pipes on one side... this one has a Ford V8 ?
A real Duesenberg had a 8 in line & exhaust on one side... but yes, it looks nice...
Probably because the original was a straight eight and the replica is a V8.

Beautiful car. Replica I think. The dash board shouldn't have been brushed aluminum. Not in a Duesy.
Also, there are no pipes on the left side of a real Model J Duesenberg.
Exactly.

I like the pipes on ONE SIDE @@DougCameraMan
Replica But Still is a Beautiful one none the less
if it had 19" wheels it would look more authentic
Really nice car,restored by my friends at Best of Show,in Escondido,but it is a fiberglass replica.Shows the kind of work they do,fooled a lot of people.
I got to about 45 seconds and I vote replica. ??
Does it matter? all our cars are replicas these days 😂
Why would a Deusenberg "replica" put pipes on both sides of the car??
Because it has a V-8 in it. Real ones had Lycoming Straight-8's.
Very well done and cool for sure but it's not an original but a Duesenberg II. I believe the wheels are 18 inch and not the 19 on the original cars which is the first give away (along with the instruments).
That was what gave it away for me. The steering wheel and instrument panel are way off model.
I believe that JNs had smaller wheels than the earlier cars (Js).
@@pow44pow True. The later cars had 17" wheels and skirted fenders.
I just creamed my shorts OMG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Same colour red same design I love soo much 24 hours i watch cars sho on tv every day i love very much
A REAL car !
I love this care how can I buy this car to my mother how much it costs can any one help me
22 million....
Fake within 2 seconds. No outside door handles and the steering wheel is missing 3 switch knobs.
If they go through all of that trouble, why the hell not put the right engine in it. Or at least one that's close? Instead of a boring ass v8. Stupid😑
Does it have an auto trans too?😐
Yes. But the video doesn't show the pedals. Lack of a clutch would be another dead give away as to a replica.
You said why not put the "right" engine in it?? Just where are you going to get a spare Duesenberg engine? A Straight-8 Buick or Packard would be a bit more attainable, but not more desirable than the more reliable and supportable V-8.
Replika !!!
Give this car to me donate to me
A crate LS 1 or a Dodge Hellcat engine would make this thing off the hook. The big Ford GT crate motor is nice also.
Then put a shit happens bumper sticker on
nnnngh.....NNNNGH............
don't care
