Hemi Cuda Verses a 1930 Duesenberg Model J

[Benji]

$2.5 million for the Hemi Cuda convertible verses $1.4 million for a 1930 Duesenberg Model J convertible. I'll bet this just frosts those Duesy boys!

Let's see what they both are really worth 10 years from now.

Love 'em both.

And I might get flamed for saying this, but I love the Deusenburg even more. Truly a classic, even entering our lexicon with the phrase "It's a doozy."

I'll take the Dusey.

I'll bet not one person in a hundred know that "it's a Doozy" came from Duesenberg automobiles.

The Deusenburg was an icon in it's day and a status symbol. Evident by it's owners James Cagney, Gary Cooper and others. The car has stood the test of time. If given a choice I'll still take the Dusey.

Does it matter? How many people do you see saying "It's a Hemicuda!" in comparison? lol

I had no idea. I do now though!

Everyone in the world has heard of a Duesenberg. Very few in the world know wtf a Hemi Cuda is. The buyer of the Cuda was stupid when you compare the price of the two.

And Deusenburg played a large roll in engineering. Superchargers on cars, four wheel hydraulic brakes. These cars were hitting triple digits when other mass produced cars where barely about to hit 40-50 mph.

An SL model sold in may of this year at auction at 4.5 million.
