Interesting styling!! Kudos for the accomplishment at that age!!

Reminds me of this, but being roadster based I like the old gentleman's version better.
I hope I'm still capable at that age but sometimes I wonder.

Looks like he may have been inspired by Gordon Behrig's (Duesenberg's chief designer) custom-built Drop Head Coupe (Cabriolet), which he had off-duty Duesenberg workers build for him in 1931.

The lower part of the body was from a sedan he cut down, he formed the body to his specs. He is an amazing metal worker.
He even hand formed the dual horns. He did all the paint work too. He is my goto man for parts also.

More photos in an outdoor setting would be great. Thanks for the inspirational story. I'll tell my wife that, based on this recent testimonial, she may have 25 more years of dealing with my old car (as she calls it) OBSESSION!!!!!!
