1933 Duesenberg disappearing top. Picture it without the top. Stunningly sexy! (Pun optional.) And oh-so-classy. What do you want to bet that's where the phrase, "Ain't she a duesy?" came from?
That's exactly where the phrase originated. The Duesenberg was built right here in my home state of Indiana. Auburn, in the northeast corner of Indiana, is home to the Cord-Duesenberg museum with more duesies than you can imagine.
I'd like to be able to say I found you through some systematic search, but the truth is, I found you by just clicking the "next blog" random link. But you're in my bookmarks now as someone who writes interestingly and well.

Yes! Finally *someone* commented on this baby!
Oracle, Welcome - and how did you find us?

Thank you. It's quite a coincidence, re: the Duesenberg then.
