This rare beauty is a 1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Barrelside. It was constructed by LeBaron Carrossiers on a Duesenberg Model J chassis. On the Barrelside cars, the body rolls inward in a pronounced fashion, the read doors open at the " B "pillar, and the beltline has a distinctive parallelogram molding that gives this car an uncommon grace.
The inline, eight cylinder engine is a 420 C.I., dual overhead cam design with a Schebler dual-thorat up-draft carburetor. It make 265 H.P. and the car is driven through a 3-speed manual transmission.
Only 5 of this Barrelside model were produced. It is an extremely rare and valuable automobile.

You nailed that one, Ron. Cars then had character and individuality.

I second that, Mike. I never tire of looking at cars like that. And I've done a lot of looking.
