Greg Martin’s Iconic Rod and Custom in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is set to hand craft an aluminum Coupé Simone body over a wooden buck

in February 1997, Automobile magazine ran a six-page feature story on a fascinating “barn find” discovery of a “lost” one-off Duesenberg bodied in 1939 (it was all a made up hoax, and it got a LOT of interest) created by FRanklin Mint designers, who were drumming up interest in a model they were going to sell, and it worked.

Hagerty reports that the Iconic Rod and Custom shop is going to craft the body... what they are going to mount it to isn't mentioned. The engine, trans, and the rest are all speculative. Noting is decided yet

    The designer, Raffi Minasian, is a frequent commenter on BringaTrailer.com and occasionally writes articles on their site. He seems to be very knowledgeable about car design and vintage cars.
