Some "automobiles" really deserve the appellation "Motorcar."
My two favorites certainly do; The DeLorean and The Duesenberg. These
books celebrate "The Motorcar."
Check out these videos that feature the Duesenberg!
"Duesenberg Racecars & Passenger Cars Photo Archive" by
Jon Bill. This book features "Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg
Museum's" photos of Duesenbergs going back to the racecar
days. About half the book shows Duesenberg race and record
cars, the later half focuses on the passenger cars.
Pictures of the J-series are identified by chassis and engine
number. Since the photos come from the ACD archives, they are
in B&W. About $20 in paperback.
"Duesenberg." by Dennis Adler. This book focuses exclusively on the Duesenberg and has a forward by Jay
Leno, who knows Duesenbergs first-hand. Adler has done quite a lot of
Duesenberg photography, some of it at Leno's garage. It will
also serve as a pretty good resource book. It contains a
listing by chassis number giving engine serial and original
coachwork. About $25.
"The
Nethercutt Collection. The Cars of San Sylmar" by Dennis Adler. NEW I visited the Nethercutt Museum and this book is a thorough look at
the cars as well as the Music Room at San Sylmar. Not everyone of
the over 200 cars has been given Adler's photographic attention, but
for those that have, the quality is outstanding. Visit the museum.
If you can't, buy the book! About $25.
"The Art of the Automobile. The 100 Greatest
Cars." by Dennis Adler.
This book promises to be a coffee table classic. With the
Duesenberg "Twenty Grand" on the cover and another forward by
Duesenberg owner Jay Leno, it is a sure winner.
"Duesenberg
- The Mightiest American Motor Car." by
J.L. Elbert.
This scholarly book is the bible for anyone seriously tracing the
provenance of a Duesenberg. I use it regularly! The original
edition is well out of print, but can be
found used. The updated 1975 edition is available new from
amazon.com
