Now listed for sale on Hemmings Motor News, this 1929 Duesenberg J belonged to one of the Barbee brothers (probably A.K. Barbee) who headed the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Los Angeles. It was later owned by Glendale car collector Fred Buess. As someone pointed out, the body was modified by Bohman & Schwartz of Pasadena in the 1930s.

That Duesenberg is not a 1929 - notice the skirted fenders, raked grille and windshield, bullet headlamps. Mid-1930s streamlining.

Leno will buy it - and he has an expert to tell him what year it is.
