That is one impressive machine there. What’s that we’re seeing reflected in the paint?

Speed six and 8L Bentley are two of the very few cars from 1930 that will hang with a Duesenberg. Engine is bigger than the 420 cubes of the Model J.

Driving in an 8L is just like being in a Model J Duesenberg. They are just so much more powerful and faster than any other car at the time. This is 1930 remember.
