Beautifully shot. From the size of the black hood it must have a V-16!
Nope. Straight 8. Not many automobiles had V anything that early in the automobile age.

Those cars are approaching 100 years old. Amazing. They are beautifully crafted.
Beauty and excellence in the construction process are timeless...as cars of the caliber prove.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Really gorgeous cars. if I had glimpsed The Deusey on the road I would have thought "Packard," judging by the wheels.
When I see cars like these I can't help thinking what fun it would be to have one with a modern drive train and electronics, but then I slap myself for being so foolish...

Well, Terry, if dreaming becomes a sin, then I'm going to have to pack my bags and haul ass.

Beautiful examples of true Classics, Tom. Those are killer headlights on the Dupont and I believe they have been reproduced on a limited basis and now appear on some high dollar customs.
You're right about those headlights, Bob. I've also seen some knockoffs on new custom cars.
It's always nice to hear from you.

I don't think dreaming is a sin, Tom, but I'm not so certain about restoring these great marques to anything but purely original condition. Still, I have to wonder...

Thank you Tom for submitting two of the prettiest cars I have seen in a long time for our perusal. Both are absolutely beautiful as well as capable of outstanding performance. The car designers of that era were truly amazing in their ideas and the factories exceptional at carrying out the idea into reality. I can't think of a vehicle made today that can equal the beauty of these two automobiles.

I'm sure, Dennis, there are those that say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I can't disagree with that. But if what you say becomes a crime, I just hope you and I are cellmates.

Another great pair, Tom. It's not often you find a Deusie playing 2nd fiddle to another car but the 1929 DuPont G steals the show between the two of them. I didn't even know DuPont was in the automotive business. But when you've got their kind of money, why not. I googled it and it is an in-line 8. The significance of this car was it is a 2-seater sports car when they were almost unheard of at the time. Later years, they modified it for racing. Thanks for showing us these great cars still exist!

Beautiful, thanks for sharing!
However, you keep up my envy of the owners… and never offer to give, or loan us the $ to acquire one of these beauties.
