the 1939 Duesenberg Coupe Simone Midnight Ghost, completely a "might have been" with a made up back story from the Franklin Mint. I bought it hook, line, and sinker.

if actually made into a car it would be the only vehicle I can suppose would rival the Jonkheere Rolls Royce for design excellance

1939 Duesenberg Coupe Simone Midnight Ghost - LE Issued on the 10th anniversary of the car that never was, this incredible die-cast model is the creation of acclaimed designer Raffi Minasian. Inspired by the modernist lines of the Art Deco movement, it captures all the romance of a bygone era. The graceful sweep of the fenders, the luxuriously appointed interior complete with a crystal-clear steering wheel - every detail of the designer's vision brought unforgettably to life. Hand-painted an elegant Midnight Ghost, this special anniversary Limited Edition bears the designer's signature on a plaque mounted to the undercarriage.
