In 1920 the Duesenberg brothers opened their first dedicated automobile factory in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their first cars were brilliantly engineered with the world's first mass produced straight eight engine but production difficulties overwhelmed them. To prove the superiority of their design they went racing and their proving ground was the Indianapolis 500. This masterful cast resin Duesy recreates the cars that forged the Duesenberg legend. With leather straps securing the removable bonnet with a finely appointed and wired engine beneath. Remarkable cockpit detailing with glass faced gauges. Individually hand-laced wire wheels and winning race day colors and numbers! Rookie George Souders wins the 500 in his Duesenberg special becoming the first man to win the race without the aid of a riding mechanic or relief driver! Features
