I am in the process of writing a book on Miles Frank Yount of Beaumont, TX. Frank was a flamboyant figure during the '20's and early '30's, and apparently had money to burn.
His 1933 will states that he owned two 1929 Duesenberg's, and a Cord L-29 as well as two Stradivarius violins (one for him, and another for his 13 year old daughter Mildred). The estate was valued at over $38MM when it went to probate in 1934. One of the Duesie's was destroyed by his wife Pansy during WWII. She apparently donated the mint condition Duesenberg Judkins Berline to a scrap drive, and insisted that it be cut up! I contacted Randy Ema who told me that is one of two made in this body style and was probably delivered sometime in '32, and he has photos of it just prior to being destroyed. The chassis of this car unknown.
Does anyone have any info on whether the second car still exists, and what the Chassis #/Body style might be? Any leads would be appreciated!
