Here are four Duesenbergs (one is a "replica").
I saw this Bentley on the way back home near the bridge. That color combo is very Audi/German. The license plate translates into: "My doctor's prescription". The driver was smoking a cigar. I can't imagine the mileage he was getting in the stop-and-go traffic.
In the mean time, read up on Zach's Saab project.

cool. is this exhibit worth a visit? i see their cars at the SF auto show every year, and i've wondered if i should take an afternoon to go. each year they bring a ferrari 250 GTB which looks amazing.
@augie: I think it's worth it if you happen to be in SF. $10 a person. Reservation required. Tuesdays and Thursdays only. About 1/3 of the collection is at the museum. Another 1/3 is in storage near the AMC theater on Van Ness (you can look through window). I don't know where the other 1/3 is. The 250 GTB and Gullwing were not at the museum. They rotate the inventory for the museum a few times a year, IIRC.
finally got in there, eh?
@steve-vh: Oh, yeah. Apparently what you and I had passed by was the storage unit, and not the museum itself.
I'll definitely have to hit you up for the museum location next time I hit SF!
Jim, so excellent to meet and tour the collection with you! If you're ever on the East Coast, please let me know and I'll happily play host.
@steve-vh: Here is the address. http://www.academyautomuseum.org/?page_id=26
@zach: It was great meeting a fellow car nut!
