Sold for $850,000! That brought back memories because I used to be the gardener for a man who owned a '33 Dusenberg that looked pretty much like that one. He said it was too valuable to drive, and that was 25 years ago. The one time I saw it moving was when I was a kid and he was driving the governor in it in the 4th of July parade. Don't know if this is true, but he told me that Dusenberg was the first car to have hydraulic brakes. Not power brakes, mind you, just hydraulic. I tend to believe it because there was a brake pressure gage on the instrument panel.
