Today our travels were virtual and since I am a Cleve Cussler fan, I couldn't resist a bit of Duesenberg history. Two German brothers came to American and founded the Duesenberg Automobile and Motors Company in Iowa. Fred and August Duesenberg taught themselves about automobile engineering and were passionate about sports cars, experimenting at every turn.
This beauty is one of their great achievements. Gary Cooper and Clark Gable were among their clientèle. The rich called their automobile by the nickname "Duesy." Later, all American's used the slang word "Doosy" to mean something exceptional.
