- If you only watch one of the extras on this disc, make it "Gatsby Revealed" in all its glory. A 5-part mini-series outlining the process of filming 5 of the biggest, most definitive moments in the movie: the parties, the high-speed car ride, Daisy and Gatsby's reuniting, the fight at The Plaza, and the discussion with Nick around the pool. It gives great insight into Baz Luhrman's vision for the film, and tells the story of why things did or did not quite work out as expected.
I want the job of the green guy.
This is a Duesenburg "SJ" (it has exhaust pipes coming out of the side of the hood, it is supercharged). It wasn't created until 1932...As much as I like this car, it wasn't available in the summer of 1922.
"Pimped-Up" isn't quite the phrasing to use there Mr. Luhrman. But yes, each Duesenberg was unique and typically no two were alike. When you went to Frederick and August Duesenberg and told them you wanted a car, you would initially purchase from Duesenberg the chassis, the engine/transmission, suspension, drive shaft/torque tube, radiator, grill shell, hood, fenders, gas tank, etc. Then, you would sit down with a designer from Duesenberg and the designer would design a body for to you your specifications. Once this was done, the design and the dimensions would be sent to a coach builder (such as Murphy). The coach builder would then build your body where the body, chassis, and suspension would be painted, the interior would be installed into your vehicle, and the whole thing would be assembled for you to take delivery of it.
Your mom is pimped up.
There's simply no way that Gatsby drove a Duesenberg. The model in the movie would've been seen sometime around 1929-1932. Given that the setting is 1922 (and the book wasn't published until 1925) there's no way this car would've appeared. Also, considering Gatsby's appetite for fine English luxury, a Rolls would've been the most likely candidate.
Well, it could have been a Duesenberg, just not the model J. He would have been driving a model A.
You are correct! In chapter three of the novel, it explains that his Rolls Royce became an omnibus for his parties, and that his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug.
I'm 7 years late but I'll contribute anyway. You are correct that he did drive a Rolls Royce but I don't think that car is simply interesting enough or "gatsby" enough. I think Baz chose a doozy over a Rolls because the doozy is just louder and more flamboyant than a Rolls and better fits this film adaptation of gatsby better
It's unlikely that Gatsby would be driving a Duesenberg of any kind: The company had just gone into business in 1922, and the Model J was produced from year 1928.
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, Gatsby drives a yellow Rolls-Royce, and since the most popular model from the British automaker in 1922 was the 40/50 HP, aka the Silver Ghost, it's a good bet that's what the image-obsessed Gatsby would have purchased.
The car from the movie is a copy of a Duesenberg . This copy was made in 80's
Gatsby doesnt run down myrtle daisy does
But the great Gatsby is set in 1922 duesenberg model j only began production in 1928
Which car is that? such a pimpmobile.
Its a 1929 Duesenberg Model J "Dual Cowl" Phaeton.
