I really like the Mercer. I’m going to steal the line “ It retains antique paint that has been with it for much of its known history” because it sounds so much better than “ old-ass repaint”.

Exactly. Deciphering auction speak requires years of study.

I'd be all over that Mercer like a fat kid on a donut.

The car I want is the Model G Dupont Speedster. Unfortunately I wouldn't fit. Forgetting about not having a million plus dollars laying around.

Sam and Emily Mann are royalty in the prewar car world. I believe Sam invented the ear piercing machine tinkering in his workshop. He clearly did well with that invention. I think he is 91 this year and still a regular on the Duesenberg tour driving his Graber bodied Model J (which is huge). Here is a video of us chasing him on the highway at 70 mph.

That video is great. I always want to ask people with a collection like his, which is your favorite, and why. I want the story behind the favorite car.
