For those out there in madwhipsland who don't remember Hopalong Cassidy, he was one of the first cinema & television cowboys, played by the actor William Boyd in the 30s, 40s & 50s. This car sold for $1,437,000 versus the pre-sale estimate of $1,200,000 - $1,600,000. Such an elegant car, and huge, as Duesenbergs were. For the trivia buffs out there, the expression "What a doozie", meaning something pretty good or special came from cars like this. Duesenbergs were known as Deusies. These days Hollywood stars drive Veyrons and Rolls Phantoms. Back in the day they drove cars such as these.
