She's a beauty John thanks for sharing her. Now MM1955 don't get any ideas and dash off to mythe real one.....Joeseppi
I don't think I could swing it Joeseppi, but if you hit the lotto, it's still around.
Found a photo:
Caption from article:
Apparently, Miles Collier and some of his friends went to dinner at the Panoche Inn, east of Paicines, CA in October 2008. Collier's ex-Gary Cooper SSJ (J563) is in the front, and Clark Gable's yellow, re-styled JN (J560) is third from the front. A reader emailed me and said that this was a nine-Duesenberg road trip, but I can't identify most of the other cars in this photo.
I think John's looks better.

This is an all wood and brass 1/10th scale wooden model that I carved out of various species of wood and plywood.There are about ten different type woods including walnut,butternut and many exotic species.The plywood is mostly maple veneer.
The car is a Mercedes 500K roadster and was built from the chassis up from drawings
developed from the Pocher kit.My woodcarving background really came in handy when carving those beautiful fenders.
