My 1930 Derham Tourster Duesenberg just arrived at the CCCA Museum in Michigan to be displayed at the Hidden Treasures Experience! During WWII it was hidden in a haystack until US soldiers found it after the war in Italy!

You need the vintage garage in your backyard to go with the cars. Here is a picture from when Uncle Ted (Billings) restored it in 1970.

@alsancle Funny the colors don't look the same. Was the car repainted in the last 50 years?

@BillSmith Might just be typical cheap 1970s photography.

The Gilmore is a must see visit for car guys.

The green on that car actually works! And I want the garage for my backyard too.

Duesenberg is cool. But the gas station might be cooler.

Got to see this car a couple of times when it belonged to Johnny Pascucci. He used his Lebaron Barrelside more though showing locally a lot in the early 2000s.
Last time I saw the Tourster was at an event in CT, it was not running so he trailered it in and it took quite a few guys to push it onto the trrailer at the end of the day.

@SteveMackCT Yes Steve, car was in Connecticut for 55 years. I sat with Johnny at the auction when he sold it. He bought a table at RM that year and my mom and dad and I sat with him and his daughter. I've never seen RM do that before.

Here is the Tourster on display at CCCA Museum. They put some effort into this display showing how it was hidden in a haystack!!!

@DuesyGuy Did they pay an artist to do that or do the have a haystack prop sitting in the storage room?
