Art Anderson Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) This is a resin body I cast about 20 years ago, under the name All American Models. The body was mastered by the late Lee Baker, of Chattanooga TN. It will be a non-supercharged Model J--a few engine modifications had to happen there!

sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Couldn't find this limousine body style from a coachbuilder named Le Rouge, but I did find similar ones from Willoughby, Rollston and Judkins. Are you sure it wasn't Duesenberg's in-house La Grande coach builders? Edited April 23, 2016 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Le Rouge? VERY prolific body builder! Google can't find a single reference to a coach builder by that name (Or could that possibly be a pseudonym for a distinguished model designer and builder?? If so, are you a Commie, or a Viking, like Erik Le Rouge?). Or do I misunderstand again, and you pump iron every day? Anyway, what color scheme do you have in mind? These limousines are gorgeous -- I can't imagine what it would be like to see one floating by. Edited April 23, 2016 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for color, not finalized, but I am leaning toward Clay Rust, which was a Cord 810 color, but still good for 1932. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Somehow, my last response asking if the correct path would be "Le Baron Rouge" didn't appear here, but I'll continue... if that's correct, then...1. Art's body is based on a 1932 limousine for the Chrysler Imperial by Le Baron.2. He will use a Monogram donor kit from one of the many 1:24 Monogram Duesenberg versions (though all of them are SJ cars).Therefore..."Ah, but the kit source, that's where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that Art is putting one over on us. Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them."And ergo, the body paint should be strawberry red.Extra points to anyone who can identify the source of my solution.

Richard Bartrop Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Okay, to expand it a little more, probably the most prolific maker of car bodies at the times would be Ford's River Rouge plant, also known as "The Rouge". This is relevant because the body is not a replica of any specific Duesengerg sedan, but is in fact a 1932 Ford Tudor sedan stretched out to four doors.How did I do?

That body was done, by the late Lee Baker, out of Chattanooga TN back in 1997--from FOUR AMT 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan bodies! Great call, Richard!
