I agree. It's a beautiful car. It's a 1931 Duesenberg Model J. There were only 481 made between 1928 and 1937. A "doozy" in that condition is worth about $1,600,000.00. Not bad for a car that originally cost between $13,000 and $19,000. A little trivia = The term "doozy" was derived from the name of the car, it means something outstanding or unique of its kind.

The car pictured in my 4th image on the far left is a 1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Convertible Cabriolet Weinberger Original price: $43,000. It is likely worth $30-$40million. In 1987 A London car dealer paid $9.8 million (at auction, front right in the below picture) for one of the 6 remaining Royales (7 were made). All 6 remaining are pictured below in 1987.

One of my favorite cars of all time is the 1956 Continental Mark II (it is not a Lincoln). I prefer the convertible (only 2 were produced). (Per Wikipedia) As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including it's "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.
This facility has too many beautiful exhibits. I read the website posts to view some of the exhibits because I find it hard to move around in GE Pro street view (in this facility). I will try GM to see if it's better for viewing, but I found this in GE and have been roaming around for awhile. I found it interesting that there are many different manufacturers vehicles on display.
