During a trip to Italy in 1939, Hallahan had to quickly flee Europe back to the United States as the war was breaking out and he had to leave the Duesenberg behind.
An anonymous Italian hid Hallahan's Duesenberg in a barn, under hay stacks, to keep it hidden from anyone who might want to lay claim to it.
It sat there for the entirety of the war until Italian Brigadier General Niblo found it. After a turn of events, it was then sold by American Captain R.W. Schreck to a Milanese enthusiast, Dore Leto di Priolo in 1946.
