In the fall of 1971 I accompanied my father to Auburn for the "mecca" of car enthusiasts. En route, we dropped by Leo Gephart's dealership in the Dayton, Ohio area where he had this very early Model A Duesenberg for sale. Car No 603, to be precise. I snapped this image with our trusty Polariod as a keepsake as we didn't have the doe to make the purchase. Fast forward to August, 2013 and I will be judging the very same car at Pebble Beach!
