Ampol service station on the Pacific Highway, Pymble 1950s | The Dictionary of Sydney
From a teapot-shaped petrol station to the world's biggest rocking chair; some of the more eyebrow-raising attractions that litter America's highways.
Always wanted to own a classy Duesenberg yourself? This is your chance! On Thursday the 23rd of August 2018 at 5 pm Worldwide Auctioneers will start auctioning a fine collection of automobiles at The Pacific Grove Auction. Among which three different Duesenberg cars. About these Duesenbergs we would like to tell you a little bit more. 1931 Duesenberg Model J SWB Sport Convertible Sedan The first one under the hammer, well not literally, of course, will be lot number 53. A 1931 Duesenberg Model J SWB Sport Convertible Sedan. Yes, you hear it correctly! “It’s a Duesy”, a legendary Duesenberg Model J has come up for sale and can be all yours. “A truly mighty chassis with many leading-edge features and powered by a highly advanced and race-derived eight-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and hemispherical combustion chambers developing 265 HP – some 100 horsepower more than its nearest competitor – the Model J was priced from $8,500 for the bare chassis alone. Fitted with bodywork and ready for delivery to the customer, it was America’s grandest and most expensive car by far,” as described by Worldwide Auctioneers in the catalogue. You can, of course, argue whether the price really supported the car`s features, but we leave that up to you. The high-quality design and engineering of the Model J shown has its original 32-valve inline eight-cylinder engine with double overhead camshafts delivering 265 HP. A remarkable performance at the time. The original chassis (no. 2486) has a wheelbase of 142 inches, with on top, its original very elegant and luxurious body by Derham Body Co. Derham built nearly 40 bodies for the Duesenberg J and SJ chassis, but relatively few were open cars. Of which this Sport Convertible Sedan on the short-wheelbase Duesenberg Model J chassis can be considered as one of the firm's crowning achievements. It is one of the just five Derham Sport Convertible Sedans were manufactured. The four other Derham Sport Convertible Sedans were J-488, J-505, J-170 (engine only remains), and J-469 (scrapped). J-475 shown here is now offered from over 45 years of single ownership, and it is one of the only two cars in this select group originally equipped with a dashing and exceptionally attractive “V” windshield. The car has a well-known and unbroken history which is documented. A wonderful opportunity to acquire probably one of the finest examples of a true automotive icon. This 1931 Duesenberg is estimated between $1,300,000 - $1,600,000. 1936 Duesenberg Model JN LWB Tourster The second Duesenberg looking for a new owner on the 23rd of August is a 1936 Duesenberg Model JN LWB Tourster. Lot no. 57. A luxurious car with very fine coachwork also in the style of Derham is built on the original chassis no. 2599. It is one of the three long wheelbase examples ever built. The car still has its original 420 cid DOHC inline eight-cylinder engine. With single Stromberg downdraft carburettor and original three-speed manual transmission. The four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, live-axle suspension with semi-elliptic leaf springs and double-action hydraulic-lever shock absorbers on a wheelbase of 153.4 inches make you drive very comfortable. About the history of J575. It was the last long wheelbase car to leave the factory and, by several accounts, the last Duesenberg to be sold to the public. It left the factory with Rollston Berline coachwork, body number 566 and had all the JN upgrades including more modern skirted fenders, 17-inch wheels and sleeker running boards concealing the frame rails. Under the ownership of Ken Gardner, the car was being restored. Which was around 1970. The body was taken off the chassis and the chrome, fenders, hood, chassis etc. were sent off to various specialists for restoration. But that is when it all then wrong. The building housing the (original) Rollston body caught fire and everything in the building was destroyed. Meaning that luckily enough all the remaining parts: hood, wheels, frame, engine, suspension, firewall, fenders, interior, brightwork survived intact, having been out at various shops for the restoration. Around 1971 a new Derham Tourster-style body tub was built by Carl L. Amsley. And all survived and original parts were added. A remarkable story really. The car changed ownership several times. But always has been very well maintained as can be seen in the photographs. The estimate for this fine and luxurious 1936 Duesenberg with its rich history lays between $750,000 - $950,000. J575 is in its current state ready for many more shows and events. 1922 Duesenberg Model A Sport Phaeton And last but definitely not least is a 1922 Duesenberg Model A Sport Phaeton. Chassis no. 798 is fitted with stylish bodywork by Millspaugh & Irish. Presented in a gorgeous tri-tone colour scheme with a dove grey main body and dark grey fenders, subtly accented with a deep red chassis and matching wheels. Body and paint are both to Concours quality with outstanding fit and finish evident. The powerful 260 cid SOHC inline eight-cylinder engine with a single carburettor is beautifully presented against the original firewall. The car was exhibited at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2010, where it also participated in the Pebble Beach Tour. And has received ACD Club Level One Certification, as well as ACD Club National honours and an AACA Junior Award in 2011. It is very rare, early Duesenbergs in such a wonderful condition like this appear on the open market. Estimated between $280,000 - $320,000 this technically advances and fabulously restored Duesenberg is ready to continue its show career with a new owner. Which one of these three would you choose? We have already decided which one we would go for. But we are curious to know which one of these Duesenbergs you are interested in, please comment below.

Sehr schöner und hochwertiger Breitcord mit schöner Struktur, vielseitig einsetzbar, ideal für Hosen und Röcke. Da er besonders robust ist, kann er durchaus auch zum Beziehen von Sitzmöbeln im Vintage-Style genutzt werden, ist aber ebenso einsetzbar im Bereich Karneval/Fasching.
