This '35 Duesenberg Model JN Berline by Rollston and updated by Bohman & Schwartz is known as the Bojangles Duesenberg. It was purchased new by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson for $17,500 which is roughly equivalent to $300K today. It is powered by a 420ci DOHC 8-cylinder engine producing 265 horsepower. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but this car is Dark Metallic Brown.

It's funny, that little Chevy looks pretty sporty, and those Cadillacs are beautiful, but that Duesenberg is on another level. It looks years ahead of the others. Stunning.

This car is a 1931 Chevrolet Landau Phaeton. It was way ahead of it's time & Chevrolet didn't sell many units for the 2 years they were made, 1931 & 1932. This was a full convertable in which all passengers were under roof. All the side windows rolled down & the divisional bar between the side glass was removable. The windshield layed down on the cowl. This car also has an integral trunk. Today hard to find & one of the most expensive cars to restore from the 1931 1932 models because of all the chrome. Even the bows were chrome....Joe

I think it was against the law to produce an ugly car in 1932. EVERYONE seemed to just hit it out of the park that year.

I plan to be at MCACN on Saturday and Sunday taking pictures of my favorite cars there so if you see a guy with a camera taking pictures of your car and writing down notes it may be me. I'll try to post my pictures on here before Thanksgiving. Have a safe trip and hopefully I'll see some of you guys there.

Here are my photographs from the '22 MCACN Show. I'll post them over the next day or two with a little commentary on each car. If anyone has any additional information on any of the cars feel free to post it. I'll start with some Corvettes from the Triple Diamond Display. This Arctic Blue 57 Corvette is 283 horse fuelie with a 4 speed. There were 756 Code 579B & E fuelies built in '57 and there were 664 Corvettes built with 4 speeds. The 4 speed wasn't available until later in the year. A. Applegate had this car at the show.

This Panama Yellow 58 Corvette is a 290 horse fuelie with 4.11 gears and the RPO 684 Heavy-Duty Brake option. It was also ordered without a radio or a heater and only a hardtop. There were 1,007 code 579D fuelies built in '58 and 144 Corvettes with the RPO 684 option. This car was raced by Ralph Haun in Southern California Timing Association events early in its life. G. Horton had this car at the show.
