Barnyard Dreams - Leno lives every collector's dream by finding a Duesenberg in a garage

摘要

It love hearing a rumor about some old car and tracking it down. When I was a kid, there was always that World War II Harley, still packed in Cosmoline, waiting to be gotten for USD35. Of course, the holy grail was the Corvette that a guy died in. But its owner couldn't get rid of the smell and it was just sitting in a barn somewhere until he could sell it for USD300. Every now and then, however, a story turns out to be true. c For years, I heard about a Duesenberg in a parking garage in New York City. Supposedly, it was parked there back in the 1930s and hadn't been touched since. So one day while I'm in New York with my wife, I decide to see if I can find this Duesenberg. At about the ninth or 10th garage, I ask the attendant, "Do you have any really old cars here?" And this guy says, "Oh yes, up on the fourth floor."
