If I could have any car, no doubt about it...<br /><br />Duesenburg SJ!<br /><br />Any year, any model!<br /><br />Why...size!<br /><br />I love big cars, and no one made them any bigger, or more beautiful, or more powerful than a Duesenburg.<br /><br />It truely would be a "Duesey"!

mellow,<br /><br />I don't have a photo, but you must remember those big giant cars from the 1920's and 1930's.<br /><br />Clarke Gable had one.<br /><br />I will see if I can find a photo on google or something.

Re: MY dream car?

Ohhh. The Duesey! What a car that was. . .a palace on wheels.<br /><br />But a motorhead's dream, too! 1932 SJ had 465 cubic inch straight eight. Twin overhead cams, 32 valves, supercharger.<br /><br />Our neighbor, Dr. Forbes, had one. Hood a block long. Always drove it himself. He took my brother and me for a ride once. 90mph in second gear!! I'll never forget that.<br /><br />But my dream car. . . for what I want and like. . .my Mercedes Benz ML320. Luxury car, tow truck, ranch road and range path cruiser.

Glad I'm not the only one who knows about them Duesey's, JB.<br /><br />135.7 MPH in 1934!<br /><br />That was unheard of!<br /><br />Although you have one up on me JB...I have yet to get a ride in one. :(

Kenny:<br /><br />Na, Na, Nananananana!!!!<br /><br />No, Not really!!<br /><br />I was just lucky with that one! At home I would load it to my photoshop program, enlarge it, then post it to my host!<br /><br />Much depends on where you find the picture and what resolution it is! If it is a thumbnail picture, click on it and it will come up larger and them right click it for the address! If you right click on a thumnail picture it will be small when it shows up!<br /><br />Where did you get the picture of the Dusenburg? I found the C6 picture on Google buy just selecting images then typing in C6 Corvette, several came up!!<br /><br />Hope this helps!!<br /><br />LubeDude

Re: MY dream car?

I always love the big blocks Chevys. Had a few of them. My dream car would be a 68 Dart Hemi. Love A990 hemi too. Thunderbolts are cool and 63 Z-11 Impaler. Maybe a bone stock Mopar shell no crome and a mountain motor (Huge cubes)900cid. and the drive drain to go with the engine. Something to go get grocerys in. Thanks for letting me dream. PS. Some Cam2 or VP racing fuel in the my garage.
